I swear I bet a religious news talk show may have more teeth than any of these hosts.

Yes Savage has changed. But that has two meanings. The one meaning I admire was that he changed talk radio by giving it back at the opponents in the same hostility that they attack conservatives -- that Savage I never missed one minute of his KSFO shows (literally) all during the 1990s into the 2000s.

I recall decades of conservatives being silenced by screams of RACISTS! BIGOTS!

I recall that when modern talk radio started in the late 1980s and early 1990s the most oft heard caller expression was something like "I didn't know that other believed as I do! I thought I was the only one".

We weren't the silent generation of the '60s - 80s we were the silenced generation -- Limbaugh started talking and Savage showed how to get through! Others followed.

Then Savage changed but this time fortunately the rest of talk radio did not follow or it would be a kind of balkanization with name-calling and hosts maligning each other.

Yep. The name calling started in summer 0f 2004 when Savage first nicknamed Oreilly the Leprechaun and his show went downhill since. Sad. No one could be more entertaining and humorous than Savage, i dono why he changed path.

[MaryLou1]

I think now his health is his main concern and you can’t blame him for that

But, the show has been pretty sporadic and self indulgent for a long time now.

Just giving his listeners a heads up when he isn’t going to be on would show some respect for his fan base-if he has any respect for them.

I have never been sure about that.

Ah well

[pluvmantelo]

It’s particularly funny given his mushy comments about his audience and how
much we mean to him on his Monday show.

[MaryLou1]

Yep didn’t think about that one-yep funny is right!
