Related: About this forumMichael Savage: Brent Bozell is a "bozo", "liar"
Found this from Brent Bozell's latest column via Conwebwatch. Bozell (of course, can't forget to credit his co-author Tim Graham, for obvious reasons) wrote in response to Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers signing a talk radio deal with Cumulus Media:
Cumulus is obsessed with finding a "reasonable" host to compete with Team Rush. They tried Scarborough and failed. They tried Mike Huckabee and failed. They tried Geraldo Rivera in a few major markets, and that's tanked. Then, for some weird reason, they replaced Hannity's show with the embarrassing Michael Savage who is exactly the kind of unproductive screamer Rogers thinks he's going to replace. His numbers, too, are dropping.
Savage called Bozell a "stinking little man", "liar", a "wholly owned subsidiary of Rush and Sean Hannity and their followers", and says Bozell "got nothing but a loser website".
Conwebwatch responds to Bozell & Graham: "At no point do Graham and Bozell defend the content of Limbaugh, et al -- they can't, given that the have previously condoned Limbaugh's misogyny. They're simply engaging in a logical fallacy that because such hosts are popular, they must be right. And even that's a dubious prospect -- in addition to its fallacious foundation, Limbaugh's station swap at the start of the year has not brought big ratings to his new stations. "

Here's to a right-wing talk-show host Kilkenny Cat-style brawl-- lots of blood, skin, hair, and guts flying and no survivors.
I am spiteful enough to wish that their former slots are taken either by sports talk or Muzak with commercials.

I love it when right-wingers get mad at each other!

The right is fighting amongst themselves. And they're doing it over lies, which they are so good at. And it was all over ratings? They're falling apart at the seams. I love it!!! Self destruction at it's finest.
