Michael Savage is finally being sued! For defamation!

By none other than Art Bell.
Yup, former host of "Coast To Coast AM" radio show.

Right-Wing Shock-Jock Michael Savage Being Sued by Godfather of Conspiracy Theory Radio for Implying He Married Underage Woman

Michael Savage is being sued for defamation by Art Bell.

Late-night radio host Art Bell is suing controversial right-wing commentator Michael Savage for defamation, claiming that Savage insinuated Bell's wife was a 10-year-old sex worker during the September 25 episode of his "Savage Nation" radio program.

“I generally avoid gun questions. I know this from the first day in radio. I learned you never do certain topics where you can destroy your show," said Savage. “You say UFOs, you wind up in the Philippines with a 10-year-old hooker and you are off the radio after a number of years. You can’t do UFOs. That’s an in-joke, by the way, for people who understand the business. There are other topics you can’t do.”

The 71-year-old Bell met his wife when she was 22 and believes the comments were in reference to him.

Although Art Bell did give a mouthpiece to the theocrat Gary North and his "Y2K bug doomsday" bullshit.
