Why Is AAR NOT Talking About Randi?

[Edgewater_Joe]

I heard the last two hours of Young Turks and the first half hour of Lionel ... nothing. Went to the AAR web site ... nothing.

Then I come here and find out that COMPETITORS -- Bill Press and Stephanie Miller -- are talking about the attack.

Shouldn't AAR be talking about THEIR OWN HOST getting attacked?

1. attacked how?

10. Where did you hear it was a baseball bat?

:shrug:

If it was a baseball bat, then I'd be very inclined to believe it was a planned attack.:grr:

5. heads up

She was mugged

4. Maybe there's an investigation going on

and they may have been asked not to comment about it on the air.

6. I just heard about it on Stephanie Miller.

Randi Rhodes was mugged on Monday!?

Lost teeth.

Was it a hate crime? (ie a winger nut).

This is disturbing.

I want to know.

7. I'm told

that Randi is recovering and will likely talk about the attack when she returns in a couple of days. I can well imagine that folks there might want to let her be the one to discuss it.

8. Randi Attacked Has hit Drudge

Randi's attack has just been posted on The Drudge Report. I hope more news of her swift recovery (I pray) be reported soon.

We all LOVE her here in Palm Beach.. Randi, "Come Home" !!!!!!!

[GrpCaptMandrake]

9. Just checked Drudge

As usual, he can't do his own work. He's just bogarting the story over at www.talkingradio.blogspot.com

Please go to the original post and don't give the DrudgeFreak any more traffic than he already has. Barooosk did the work. Let him have the page views by going straight to his site.

13. This Question Isn't Being Asked

And I think it's very strange that her competitors are talking about her attack but not her employer or anyone on any of the major shows.

Why is Mark Green telling his hosts not to talk about the attack? There can't be any other reason for it, can there?

[GrpCaptMandrake]

17. Could it be

because Randi was the one involved in the attack and might, therefore, be the one in the best position to talk about it? Or that anyone else talking about it by definition is quickly reduced to the same kind of speculation going on here?

As for why others are talking about it, doing liberal talk is a pretty small fraternity. Liberal talkers tend to pay attention to what happens to each other. When Malloy got fired, for instance, the entire progressive talk spectrum talked about it. It's not like the right wing yammer chamber, where you can't swing a dead cat without hitting somebody who wants to be "the next _______________ (Phlush, O'Lielly, Hannity-job, SavageWeiner, ad nauseam)."

14. If she was attacked because she is a celebrity

there is an argument to be made for not giving her assailant publicity or attention because that might encourage more of these incidents.

[NYCGirl]

15. Perhaps because there's a police investigation going on? NT

[Xenotime]

16. They should have this all over thier front page.

[nashville_brook]

18. maybe b/c there's a criminal investigation

that would be my guess.
