Why is Michael Savage still allowed on the air??

[RockaFowler]

On my drive home I switched to the wrong station and I heard this vile man on the radio. Never mind calling the President every name under the sun - and then some, he said the President wants to be Idi Amin, a dictator for life ( )

Now when no-one else agrees with him (his own words, by the way) doesn't that mean you are delusional?? What is this 3-Pronged attack?? Who wants the Constitution re-written?? I could have sworn it was his side.

I felt like I was listening to some crazy guy. Maybe I was. I'm writing a letter tonight to the radio station in some hope that this garbage will be taken off the air. Of course it is a Clear Channel - oh wait iHeart Radio station .

1. Because he still has an audience and advertisers that wish to reach that audience.

2. Cheapest radio is talk radio and largest audiences are hate radio.

It is a simple formula.

3. Sorry that you had to be assaulted by his

diarrhea of the mouth. Savage Weiner has been on the air for a long time spewing the nonsense - including gay-bashing in all places, the heart of San Francisco where he plopped himself on (of late) one of the conservative talk stations (he had been booted off one station and one of the sports talk stations took him in).

Ironically, he'll occasional rail against England where the former Home Office Secretary barred him from entry into the country!

6. stunning, isn't it?

Say, remember when "liberal" MSNBC fired anti-war Phil Donohue in the run-up to the Iraq war and replaced him with Savage?

Then in the blink of an eye they had to fire him for making this remark, verbatim, to a caller:

"Oh, you're one of the sodomites. You should only get AIDS and die, you pig."

Shame and disgrace should be heaped upon any venue that hires him.

7. corporate bought

...almost all the independent stations shortly after the Vietnam war ended, and began broadcasting right wing propoganda to prepare the way for Reagan. Terrestial radio is dead forever, having bitten the poison apple of greed. It is never coming back. Fight back on the net and sites such as DU. A few bravesouls have tried running low power free radio, after 911 the fcc busted down their doors with feds guns drawn.
