There are a lot of people who are ruining the country right now, according to Michael Savage. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Liberal mayors in big cities like San Francisco. Undocumented immigrants. Homeless people.
But for the past two months, listeners to Mr. Savage’s conservative radio show have heard him howl with unabated contempt about another menace: “The pimps” in the right-wing media “who tell you what you want to hear.” They are “intellectual dwarfs” and “science illiterates,” he says, who spent weeks downplaying the threat from the coronavirus epidemic and accusing President Trump’s opponents of exaggerating it to hurt him politically.
On Mr. Savage’s broadcast, which has one of the largest audiences in talk radio with 7.5 million listeners each week, the virus has never been a hoax or a bad case of the sniffles. He has lectured his fans on the research in detail: How it is transmitted; which treatments are proving effective; and the difference between morbidity and mortality rates.
With no small amount of self-satisfaction, Mr. Savage reminds people of his credentials — a Ph.D. and training in epidemiology — and of the fact that he was one of the few voices in conservative media who had warned them all along.

Is Stage 4 TDS considered an underlying morbidity?
Once the NY Slimes sings your praises “as a Conservative”, you know the person has jumped the shark.
The article is behind a paywall. Can you summarize the article? Thanks.
FR used to be the smartest web site. What happened?
Who is this Michael Weiner guy, anyway?
Trolls!
Nevermind. I found a free link.
Whatever happened to this guy?
He seems to have disappeared from the radio dial — at least in the cities I’ve lived in the past couple years.
Listened to Savage a few years ago. He would refer to Hannity as the Wallbanger. Personal animus?
Hannity is a midget kiss ass.
A link that gets around the paywall-

Wow, exactly what I just typed. You win.
Michael "Savage," aka Weiner, is a Democrat!
He seems to have disappeared from the radio dial — at least in the cities I’ve lived in the past couple years.
Thank God he's not on the radio in my area.
Great minds and all that jazz.
I never listened to Michael Weiner, anyhow.
Oh, this is funny. AFAIK, the NYT never gave the time of day to Savage (Weiner) who spent decades trashing the rag and its owner Pinch Sulzberger. Now, that they think they can use him as a weapon against some supposedly “anti science conservatives,” they love the guy. Give me a break.
NYT, for when you run out of toilet paper.....
” “The pimps” in the right-wing media “who tell you what you want to hear.” They are “intellectual dwarfs” and “science illiterates,” he says, who spent weeks downplaying the threat from the coronavirus epidemic and accusing President Trump’s opponents of exaggerating it to hurt him politically. “
Completely correct.
Except for Rush, who is the greatest political commentator in the last 50 years, at least.
Too bad he knows jack about disease. It hurts me to see him go out as he has.
As for Hannity and Ingraham, their careers are definitely on the downslope, fixin’ to crash completely. They cannot recover.
