I heard 2 infomercials this weekend and they were worthless and a complete time waster. I will not go through 30 minutes of someone trying to convince me to buy something I really don't need. And, the firing of Brent Walters is the final straw for me. I do not affiliate with any religion, but I enjoyed listening to his take on Christianity and, also, his discussions of other religions. He was unique and he will be missed. On the other hand, I cannot stand Karel (call me a hater, whatever...) and never listen to him, anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions of other stations to listen to?

I continued to listen to some shows even if I didn't agree with the hosts on a lot of topics. The hosts that have a large audience (even if some on this blog think not) are Pat T, Karel, Brian C, and Ronn O. I will miss the "After the Bell" hour which actually was well-produced with good business info. Management should bring back Christine Craft and Len Tillem if possible, even if not on a regular schedule. Give back the topic selection to the host - it's obvious from the same worn topics that they are told to use them. With all the interesting topics to discuss, including light/humorous ones, why stick to the "CNN" topic of the day and rehash it over and over?

That place is an absolute mess, and it's getting worse. Thanks Cumulus for not only wrecking what used to be a 'legacy' station, but then trashing it with crappy hosts, unimaginative programming, and no coherent direction. How was this company ever been allowed to become a media Giant? If this kind of thing can happen, (which is does now, all too frequently in the business of broadcasting.) what does that say about the state of this country? There is no pride in wanting to put out a superior product and serve the public anymore, it's all about the bottom line and keeping the share holders happy.

I have the feeling you have not responded because you don't know how to defend yourself. American's are so misguided about freedom, they see little things as a ban on plastic bags, as taking away their freedom. When I go back to Europe and tell my friends and family that in the US you might be forced to stay in job because otherwise you would loose your healthcare, they see that as a major loss of freedom. Freedom in most northern European countries are different that in the US, most people are free from worry about getting a major illness, they worry less and fret less about having enough money in retirement, we have less homeless people on the streets. Do we pay high taxes yes, are things perfect, no. Which system is better, it depends, most of my friends in Scandinavia would not change places with someone in the US. I have lived here for many years, and see the good and bad in both systems. In general I prefer the free marked system, but if someone is down on their luck, illness, extended unemployment, they would be better off in Scandinavia. Anyway to think a ban on plastic bags is taking away your freedom is childish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-39803927686359495402014-12-08T09:46:18.044-08:002014-12-08T09:46:18.044-08:00I called FreeSpeechTV and told them I'd donate...I called FreeSpeechTV and told them I'd donate $100 if they take Karel's show off the air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-66652671979627067012014-12-08T08:14:10.024-08:002014-12-08T08:14:10.024-08:00Well, part of the wish has come true.

Baker'e been moved (banned) to a one hour news block on Sunday morning as of this coming week. John Hamilton has seen the travel show cut to one hour and Karel is on the edge of oblivion. No matter what Randall Bloomquist knows it. Listen to Karel whine about what Rich's blog said about his prissy, shitty TV show made me through up in my mouth a little. It was horrid. I didn't think Karel could reach a deeper barrel of the "entertainment" calendar -- but he's done it for the next two weeks at least. The "show" is horrid and he comes off as the amateur he's long been. No sense, all him, poor production value, no continuity, bad shooting and Karel is a d-bag. He can't take Bloomburg's "no one will get fired" screed seriously Frankly, i'd rather her Bernie Ward. Karel must to. Sooooo bad.

You don't see it in Ohio. You don't see it in Pennsylvania. You don't see it in Texas. Why? Those people can think. Out here, people feel instead. It's a luxury. Andy Breitbart (I knew him) used to talk about these morons who believe they can save the world by eating the right cheese. You and they are one and the same.<br /><br />One of the things that always distinguishes lefties is their emotional reaction to things. It's called Ready, Fire, Aim and Roger Ailes was talking about media people being very much that way sometimes. He's pushing eighty and has fifty years in the business so he knows. Right away, you start calling names. Why? You're weak. What are you afraid of? I have some experience in the cockpit and if I put you behind the yoke of an aircraft and pulled an engine, you'd kill us both. While you're going divergent on all three axes over something stupid, I've gotten you (figuratively speaking) in my sights looking to take the next shot. Never forget that. If you do, I'll remind you and not gently. Your epithets have no effect on me. None.<br /><br />Do you honestly believe it really matters who's in the White House? All those guys (Obama included) take their orders from on high. You do know the ACA originally came from the Heritage Foundation, right? It was Bob Dole's healthcare plan from the 1996 campaign, isn't any better now than it was twenty years ago. Obama and the Dems wanted single payer but it didn't happen. They were told what to do and they did it. You and I and my wife and others around us aren't in control.<br /><br />Here's something you can take to the bank. Jeb will be elected President in 2016. The next chairman of the Federal Reserve will be John Taylor, an economist from Stanford who's very close to the Bushes. He's appeared at Conservative Forum of Silicon Valley of which my wife and I are long time members. Interest rates MUST go up and it will cause another recession similar to that seen from 1980-1982. That recession was intentionally stimulated to get a handle on the money supply and this one will be no different. If you are in debt, get it paid off with cheap money NOW while you can.<br /><br />The last line of your post tells me exactly what I want to know about you. Keep flapping your lips. I'm reloading.rootvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524524048523221143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-46025169798732578872014-12-07T20:43:43.657-08:002014-12-07T20:43:43.657-08:00Rootvg sounds like a jerk, he must be a Sussman fo...Rootvg sounds like a jerk, he must be a Sussman follower. It is not his politics it is his personality. I work for a major department store in the Bay Area, there is nothing more annoying than having customers complain to us about things that are totally out of our control, in fact out of stores control, it is usually a city ordinance or a county, go and complain at council meeting, to the people who have the power, not to a clerk, who is on their feet 8 hours a day, make usually just a little more than minimum wage, and have no control. <br /><br />I'm amused how the conservatives is up in arms about the no plastic bag ban. I grew up in post second world war Denmark, and my dad was a pretty conservative guy, (in a European sort of way) when I was growing up, we didn't have much in terms of supermarkets, we had the baker, the butcher, etc. many didn't have cars (my parents didn't) we rode out bikes and EVERONE brought their own shopping net, it was unheard of stores giving out bags. When I got to be a teen-ager (in the sixties) there were supermarkets and things had changed, stores gave out bags, usually plastic, my Dad was horrified of the waste, thought the world was going to hell in hand basket (over stated), but I think you get my point. To my parents generation waste was almost a sin, now conservatives here in the US seem think waste is about freedom, I think I prefer my parents brand of conservatism to the what I see here, it makes more sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-43389140290670640582014-12-07T20:31:30.016-08:002014-12-07T20:31:30.016-08:00Christine,
