(17,665 posts)But I can't compare the two.
My first exposure to Stern was when I moved back home in the early 90's and he had a morning show on a station I liked. At the time there was some significant ethnic conflict happening in the city. I listened to Stern's show a few times until I realized that he was basically baiting one side against the other. I was disgusted and sick. I turned to a different station and have avoided him ever since. I have no idea what anyone sees in him.
And Rogan sounds like someone I would turn off now before I even learned his name, so it's not surprising I don't know who he is.
I agree that the situations aren't equivalent, with Sanders celebrating the Rogan endorsement. (Wow. Right?)
But I don't agree with your statement that "Howard has never promoted hate in any form." I heard it otherwise in that timeframe I mentioned. But maybe he changed over the years.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
