Michael Weiner (Savage) replaces a pile of crap with bigger pile of his own

[packman]

"Less than three years after moving talker Michael Savage from nights into a higher profile afternoon slot, Westwood One has inked a new multiyear contract renewal with the conservative talker. The new deal also calls for the host of “The Savage Nation” to introduce subscription-based, digital-only content in 2017.

It’s the latest feather in the cap of Savage, who first hosted “The Savage Nation” in San Francisco in 1994. He now airs on 235 stations, according to Westwood One.

Savage got a boost in January 2014 when what was then known as Cumulus Media Networks moved him from nights to 3pm-6pm Eastern, replacing Premiere Networks’ Sean Hannity on many of its owned and operated stations. Hannity in turn landed on scores of new affiliates."

Since 2009, Savage has been barred from entering the United Kingdom, for allegedly "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred

Wonderful - Instead of going away, these nutjobs are multiplying like stagnant pond scum on a hot summer day. Must be big bucks floating around after Limburger, Hannity and now Savage getting on-going contracts.

1. They are planning on HRC winning

They will be the 'voice of the opposition':

I anticipate more.

The bad news is - Trump has awakened a giant sleeping beast - and identity politics goes both ways.

The giant sleeping beast is over here on the left. No more 'taking their shit' and being nice and turning the other cheek. Every 'safe' opportunity to slap and hateful wingnut down verbally - take it.

5. "No more 'taking their shit' and being nice"

Completely agree with this. Fuck them.

2. I've always thought that guy was the worst out of all of them.

Isn't he the one who basically said that vets are crybabies for having PTSD after being in a war zone?

3. Agreed. He is 100% monstrous. Just went into some fercoctah "Hall of Fame" too.

Bring back the Fairness Doctrine!!

4. He is absolute scum

He has called for the President's assassination on air, and yet nothing happens. He spends his entire show either shilling for Trump or screaming about how Obama hates america and has destroyed it. One would think we live in, say, Iraq or Syria if you listen to him. Back in the fall of 2014 he was screaming about how terrorists were going to sneak over the border, infected with Ebola, and blow themselves up in Times square. He constantly is calling for a total war against the Islamic world.

And yet he lives in Marin County. And constantly complains about how mistreated he is by liberals. Sick puppy.

6. The propagandists get their contracts re-newed in election years.

Limbaugh just signed a new 4-year contract. Coincidentally, the same number of years as Hillary's first term as President. Now Savage, gets another multi-year contract in an election year. Not very obvious, is it?

7. I'm always stunned how dumb these people are, how ill-informed they are, how negative they are

and how much their audience loves them. If you try 10 minutes of their shows, it's always a real downer. It's like listening to fantasy land where fantasy land sucks.
