I’ve heard her filling in for Levin, and she was wonderful. She can’t stutter or do the “Ah” & “Um” more than Tammy Bruce does... Bruce is a disaster next to Morgan...
Who’s comparing her to Tammy Bruce? In my opinion she is not an intellectual and doesn’t play on the same field as even her partners on the Morning Show. She has a terrible command of the language and outright makes up words when she hasn’t a clue where she is going at times. And, regardless of whom it is, people who fill the space with aaaaaahs and ummmmmms are not tops as far as articulation is concerned. After moving here from the east coast 11 years ago I quickly tired of her. And, I’m not so sure that Lee is sorry to see her go either. She is famous for stepping on his lines and making dumb, dumb, dumb comments. There were days I was truly embarrassed for her.
Can’t argue with you on that front. I haven’t been following the sale of Disney to Citadel since, as I commented in a previous post, I stopped listening to KSFO in the morning when I tired of Melanie’s not-so-articulate act. After the Morning Show closes up shop there is no local talent on air until 6pm when Sussman comes on for 2 hours. And, since it’s mainly the local talent who would be concerned with the sale, I was hearing precious little about it. It certainly does sound like the Fairness Doctrine under the radar.
As for ABC’s leading the charge - while Rush is the BIG DOG, remember that it was the great Bob Grant who got this whole thing going. I had the pleasure of listening to him for the 11 years we lived in New York. He’s an amazing talent.
