He was referring to Savage. I told him things were not going well, as we basically fought every day. <br /><br />Ronn desperately wanted to say something about Savage, so I let him.<br /><br />In a moment of pretending to sympathize with me he said, "In all of my years in this business, I have never met a more terrible person than Michael Savage. He's as dishonest as they come."<br /><br />Mike isn't exactly a class act, and I often thought of punching him in the face. But I can state unequivocally, Ronn has nothing on Savage. At least with Michael, in a general sense, I knew where I stood. With Ronn it's the other way - he would say one thing to your face and something else to others. He's a complete snake in the grass. Backstabbing me (and others) to management, to other employees, you name it, he would do it. <br /><br />Even at the end of his career he was still working to protect himself, while simultaneously preventing others from getting ahead. And even now he had to get his lawyers to keep him on the air when his ratings don't even break a 1.0. He doesn't care about listeners, audience, the station, the company - he only cares about himself. <br /><br />Sure, Michael Savage, as far as I'm concerned, isn't exactly honest, but he's Abe Fucking Lincoln next to Owens.<br /><br />That's Ronn Blowens. And that's why I gave him that name. <br /><br />At least Savage cares about the dog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-72653180460068419422016-07-30T20:49:35.738-07:002016-07-30T20:49:35.738-07:00Lowenstein used to be relevant.

I don't blame him for being distant, if that is the case. Many of the people who he worked with are gone and the current management had every intention of shoving him off to a right wing station where no one would welcome him. His fans forced the issue so now he is back for a measly two hours knowing that it's just a matter of time before he is dumped again or the station goes Spanish. Chip can be irritating, but I don't know the situation between he and Ronn. I just know that I don't like KGO anymore, but still tune into Ronn, sometimes Copie, and Michael Finney.
