It's proving to be a tough morning in radioland..

[liberalpress]

I'm usually better than this, but I'm working as morning news anchor on an extreme right-wing talker and the host is being extremely annoying this morning. He's getting on my nerves.

I need encouragement people!

1. You can do it!

*sends good, Liberal vibes your way*

2. I'm also in Tennessee - kick some three-star butt this morn!

I was also a journalist at one happy time in my life, before the news became entertatinment. Hard to believe that was less than five years ago!

:hi: from Knoxville!

3. This is a good sign

the rightwing hate talkers are in for some rough road. Their team is in control now, so they're on the hook for the mess we're in. No more blaming the liberals...though they'll try. But exactly how stupid do you have to be to not realize who's pushing the bizarro legislation we're seeing clogging up state legislatures? Or the crabwalking on the federal level. Dismal economic projections. Iraq continues to drag us down. The environment, education, and healthcare continue to decline. And then there's the bad press about Gannon. So, expect the wingnuts to be cranky. They're losing their enemies. We're not the bogeymen(women) they've painted us for years.
And when you lose your enemies, you lose your momemtum. And your audience.
So, yes, they're particularly annoying.
They've got nowhere to go.
We're on the down side of this particular cycle. Their days are numbered and they know it.
Pity the dinosaurs. They'll be extinct soon.

6. Interesting,,

...no mention of Gannon at all, the economy and the war are going fine, everything else can be fixed with a taxcut and why do you hate America...

...Sheesh, I gotta get outta my head about tis... Deep breaths, Focus....

4. My radio has a scan button to search for another station.

5. Tough to do when you're on the air...

7. Yo, liberalpress. Can he see you when you are on-air?

If so, give him a big, knowing SMILE when he starts spouting that shit. Smile like you know something and don't say a word. This will start to creep him out and it will damn sure affect his timing.

If you want to get a little feisty (and you have audio control), try some parrot sound effects as a reply.

Solidarity!

8. Good ideas

[sendero]

9. Might cost you your job..

.... but I agree - these guys are put together with weak glue as it is, f*ck with him :)

[liberalpress]

10. I like the "shit-eating grin" deal..

..subtle, non-threatening, but effective. What's he gonna do... complain I smile all the time?

[dbt]

11. Thank you. Radioland here since 1971.

Ah, how the "mighty" have always fallen.

:evilgrin:

12. Started in '69...

...do you miss radio as much as I do? I barely recognize the business today.

[dbt]

13. It is a shell of its former self, no?

I miss ribbon mics, vacuum tubes and analog sound, but I refuse to miss audio tape. It was not worth the hassle, but it was all we had. Don't even get me started on carts; I've had to repair about a thousand too many.

Voice tracking is a Tool Of Satan, BTW. The connection between live DJ and audience was a very sacred thing.

14. And of course, as I was taught...

...the three "B"'s of radio in the seventies... "Buch Bore Busic"

[mattclearing]

15. Can you make fun of him during the commercials? n/t

[liberalpress]

16. I gotta work with this hump every day

...best not create an "uncomfortable work environment." Nope the "smile" idea from earlier is the way to go
