In reply to the discussion: Remember Phil Valentine, Conservative Radio Host in Nashville? [View all]Pepsidog
(6,290 posts)22. He finally expressed regret but too late for him. Reminds mw Steve Jobs after being diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer, the survivable kind, and he refused traditional treatment until it was too late. In Isaacsons biography Jobs did express regret for not listening to the docs and friends who pleaded with him to ditch the holistic, mind over matter bullshit that he thought he could cure himself without traditional medicine. I dont know why. I just thought of that. This radio host, by all accounts, spread lies and disinformation and now is suffering the same fate as Jobs. While I feel sad for Jobs because he really did change the world and could jave done so much more had he lived, Valentine is getting what he deserves.
