1. two points

1) I've never said Snyder wasn't an asshole. He's a repuke asshole. So are MOST of the NFL owners, your buddy Jerry Jones included.

2) Unfortunately it sounds like the radio station was getting poor ratings. I'm not sure another owner wouldn't do the same thing.

2. "ratings collapsed to a level that could not be measured"

Is this hyperbole? Or were ratings really this bad?

3. Well, with a power of only 5,000 watts, it's range was limited to about

30 miles outside of DC. That comment is Howie Kurtz's, so take that with a grain of salt.

5. That's what I thought, being Kurtz.

Why is it so hard to find good Arbitron ratings numbers? Does one have to be an industry insider? Every time I argue with someone about progressive talk radio ratings, I'm frustrated by the inability to find solid numbers.

6. I have no idea if JJ has ever owned a radio station, let alone a progressive one.

It seems to be Howie's opinion that the station was not doing well. I'm sure it's ratings are small, as it really does cater to a niche crowd.

4. Could we expect less from the asshole

who cleared the trees on park property so he could have a better view of the Potomac from this quaint little bungalow?
