I've seen him on FOX, just not on O'Reilly. Matter of fact, he was a guest on Neil Cavuto's show not too long ago.
Looks like you have been hannitized.
I've seen him on Fox too, but not for a while.
Rush, Mike, Sean, Glen, etc., etc. They all have good points, and engage in 2-way conversation (to radio's limited extent).
There's only one "King of Talk Radio" -- and that's Rush. Everyone else is a poor imitation.
FWIW, I stopped listening to Michael Savage when I realized that he uses the infamous "Cashbox" technology on his radio show -- something that any respectable talk radio host would specifically prohibit in all of their syndication contracts.
Well said.
Agreed. Once upon a time I would never, ever have missed Rush. But now,(shrug of the shoulders) whatever...
IMHO he's gone from being kind of laughing Jove, to more and more a scold & a shrew. The clod of dirt on the coffin to me was when he scolded some of the folk on 24/7 re: the ditto-cam was not turned on.
"Now,look,I told you people..."he scolded, and you could practically see the finger wagging. Seeming to forget that we --the consumers -- are doing him a favor to him, not the other way around.
Probably to make room for Err Amerika, which XM is supposedly going to start broadcasting. I am going to cancel my XM subscription and move to Sirius when/if this happens.
And now the left gets to watch us eat our own.
If you listen closely to Savage you may be able to pick up some faint "zap" sounds in the midst of his on-air broadcast. This is "Cashbox" at work.
No respectable talk show host uses this kind of thing -- and many of them got a bad rap when it was learned that local radio stations were using it for nationally syndicated shows (without the knowlege of the parent station or the radio host). Rush Limbaugh has a clause written into his syndication contracts that gives him permission to immediately terminate the contract of any radio station broadcasting his show that alters the content or sound of his show in any way.
Agreed... Savage has moments of complete lunacy... but also has moments of utter Brilliance.... Hannity is just parrot of what he's fed by the RNC.. he could not remotely hang with Savage intellectually.
Based on reply 62 I think you need some kind of treatment, or maybe just a good woman. Sedition and treason? do you even know the definition for whatever he says of does can never be defined as those.
Michael Savage is a LUNATIC!
I know for a fact that Rush did at least use compression in the past however. An extra 90 secs of commercial sales is big money.
that loon can't keep on one thought for more than 5 seconds.
"Sean Hannity is a Repub bootlicker. And my Gawd, did you see the brawl between the Knicks and Pacers last night?! What's this planet coming to anyway when a man can't even get a deli rye sandwich with Peruvian mustard and lean bacon. Probably due to all the Peruvian's illegally immigration. And tell me how you feel about the Minutemen. Maybe we should have the minutemen up here in San Fran to keep all the bums out. My Gawd have you seen all these bums around here??!?
Some examples of Donohue's "hate," please.
A good parallel would be a music label that takes original works of musicians and cuts them off prematurely just to fit more of them on a CD. If a certain song from So-And-So band is supposed to be 3 minutes and 42 seconds in length but is faded out after 3:25 just so it can fit on a "greatest hits" CD, then professionals in the music industry will usually write poor reviews for the CD just on principle.
