You're right but I don't know that I agree about half in the bag.. but I do recall his KSFO 90's Monday shows always seemed to have extra oomph.

I seriously believe and have oft stated it on his thread that he was "chosen". One of his tasks was to

show that giving hell back at the liberals is the correct thing to do!

I do recall the full four decades of the Fairness Doctrine and the dominant-liberal attitude that "one hour a week of Buckley's PBS Firing Line was all the fairness conservatives deserved."

I never heard Joe Pyne on radio but I was a fan of his TV show. He could give 'em (and Harry) hell right back. Liberals got him kicked off radio blaming his criticism of JFK for Oswald's assassination of JFK.

Bob Grant was like that.

One night in the 1970s some guy with a foreign accent called to argue with Grant. Fianlly Grant cut him off and said on the air to his producer, "No more foreign accents tonight."

This is precisely why Hannity’s show has tanked. It is the exact same garbage every single day, every show is a carbon copy of every other show. The only other thing I’d like to add is that his taste in music is awful, and that this is how we roll bumper he keeps playing is like nails on a chalkboard. I see retirement in his future.

I guess there is no way to get you to show those numbers showing that his show has "tanked", leading you to believe his show is near the end.

Yes and I recall Grant telling how he entered talk radio as a host because he had to go on the air -- Pyne had just been summarily kicked off the air that day. Liberals blamed Pyne, et al criticism of JFK for the assassination of JFK.

That’s why I do like Beck. You will hear information and discussions about issues that are very important to us all on his program. Each one of the most admired conservative radio talk show hosts have a different style, and each brings something different to the table. And for that reason, I listen to all three of these men, and I thank God for them in our time of need.

I did not know that that's why Pyne got kicked off the air, but I recently read a good article about why liberals had to blame everybody but Oswald for shooting JFK.

They couldn't admit that JFK was killed by one of their own -- a leftist named Lee Harvey Oswald who didn't like how JFK was treating Castro, and not some right-winger for domestic policy reasons like civil rights.

The liberals did not want the focus on Oswald and his left-wing sympathies, so they shifted the blame to some kind of right-wing something in the air.

The very day after JFK's death, the NY Times ran two articles on the front page -- one, a straightforward news article about the shooting and the accused shooter and his background. The other article was an opinion piece by Scotty Reston with the slant that some element in the country (i.e., mean conservatives) was really to blame. So the myth-making started early.

It was not about who really pulled the trigger, but about shifting the blame for political reasons.

I’d like to see enumerated exactly where he is liberal on issues.

Medved is vociferously pro amnesty

Seeing as how you can’t understand plain English, no, there’s not.

Goodbye, ansel, have a crappy life.

I think you’ve hit on it. If his show were shorter, it would be tighter in content. But that won’t stop me from listening to him, because when he’s good, and funny good as well, he’s worth listening to.

I think we established that you made it up.

Hannity doesn’t seem to be tanking and on his way out, he seems to be doing quite well.

That isn't opinion, that is about numbers, do you have those numbers?

On rips I like to listen to talk shows. Stephanie Miller is the most boring of those I have ever heard.It is a nasty, childish nonsense about nothing. I am surprised she made the list.

A couple of them I never heard of, and some I didn’t even know they had radio shows, like Sharpton.

I haven’t heard Stephanie Miller either, I was glad that Bill O’Reilly didn’t make it in radio.

You have an interesting reaction to someone asking you to support your claim that Hannity’s ratings have “tanked”, and he will be retiring.

Most people would correct themselves, or post their evidence, but you have a totally different way of dealing with a challenge for factual support of one of your claims.
