Twin Cities' 'Patriot' radio dumps Michael Weiner/'Savage'

[MnFats]

they still have their crowd of second-tier right-wing jackal commentators, such as Michael Gallagher, Dennis Praeger and Hugh Hewitt, but they dropped Savage like a burning roach after the weekend debacle.
Brian Lambert had a pretty good column about it in the Pioneer Press....

1. good! next step: Twin Cities dump 'The Patriot'

I tried tuning in once just to see what the local freeps were up to and had to turn it after 5 minutes of Wiener's bile.

The seemingly endless ads for weight-loss gimmicks, baldness treatments, impotence cures, and get-rich-quick schemes sure said a lot about the the audience though!
:evilgrin:

4. Hi northernsoul!

I have been offline for ages--I miss DU! I hope you are well. We need to have another get together soon. :hi:

6. hey Myrna!

I'm goin' to Law School this fall! I don't know where yet, as I'm waiting to hear on scholarships, but dammit I'm going! That's the news from northernsoul-land.

We should definitely have another DU shindig once Lydia Leftcoast gets settled in (and apparently Liberal Libra is headed our way as well!)

7. lol

You noticed the sponsors too.....

Rush is carried on a station out of Green Bay Wisc and has pretty much the same sponsorship...

You're right....the ads tell a lot about the listenership (I'm in Marketing so I pay attention to that)

2. Ah that means

299 radio stations taht still carry him, or is this 298, 297... could this be the end of Wiener?

I believe he is just the first one... the country, as Copps noticed, is getting tired of this shit... a the sound of re-regulation, CRACK!!!!!!!!

5. Hello Dan-

I hope you are doing well. I haven't been online for a whole epoch, it seems. Take care. :hi:

10. There you are, Myrna!

I was beginning to worry about you. Welcome back from your epoch away!

8. AM 1280

like I said, the only entertaining part is the demographic picture of their audience one gains from listening to their advertisers.

I had no idea our fair Cities were home to so many angry, fat, bald, impotent, penniless men.

9. Lol-

I sprayed pop all over my monitor.

Don't forget the bed wetters. Thanks for the laugh.
