Are the People who work for Limpballs, Beck, O'liely, etc really that loyal???

[Heather MC]

I can't believe these guys have not been outed for conversations they may be having off camera. I mean the stuff they say when the camera's rolling is abhorent. SO behind the scenes must be unbearable.

I sometimes think I would like to work for one of those jerks for a month (if i could stand it) and get some nice behind the scenes footage of the raw racist stuff, and then sell it to the highest bidder.

I can't believe the people who work around them have not outted them.

1. Limpballs had a African American guy who worked for him that quit.

Think it was over one of his "borderline" racist comments. (It was racist as all hell but masked up as him being funny.)

They're loyal to a point. I am willing to wager they are paid well.

6. Snurdley, his name was Snurdley

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Please say more, I missed that.

Is Smurdley totally gone?

[tridim]

9. He's long gone, but Rush still "talks" to him on air all the time

IMO Snurdley is the oxycontin fueled voice in his head.

2. Its sad to think that the only job STU can hold down

is to be glen beck's fluffer.

Has glen urged his listeners to murder liberals yet today? I mean it would be COMMON SENSE.

3. Yes...

Today's short answer to simple questions.

You don't even get in the door of those places without professing your love for the company and its agenda. I lost a job being critical of El Rushbo...a badge of honor. I surely could have "played the game" and gotten a nice big talk radio gig, but I wanted to be able to sleep at night.

Now do these assclowns believe what they say. 20 years ago, I actually interviewed Rushbo (where I confronted him about his inflamatory rhetoric...my bosses weren't happy to hear it) and he joked that it was his "shitck". That was then, over the years, all the money and fame surely has Rushbo believing he's infallible and we've seen how the rushpublicans kow tow to him why.

Right now virtually any media job is living hell...long hours, low pay and no job security.

4. I don't know about everyone who works for Fox or their three...

big crazies but I do know several people who started there and moved on to CNN and MSNBC and the networks. Fox is a great place to get started. They pay better, especially when you are starting out. Also, the other cable networks are often in a state of expanding and reducing staff because their budgets rise and fall with the news cycles (many people lost their jobs after the 2008 elections were over). Fox is just more stable.

That said, many of their young producers leave as soon as they get the experience and can make a lateral move for equal pay to another network. Imagine being a young person in the New York area and having to tell people that you work for Foxnews. I'm sure they rarely associate with the type of people who would be impressed with that.

Nobody wants to work for a company that is embarrassing or at odds with their beliefs but it's a tough business.

5. I'd guess their contracts are iron-clad

Anyone who blabs about these morons would probably be strung up and sued vigorously.

7. Didn't O'riely pay huge money

to get out of sexual harassment. Including some pretty famous tapes of phone conversations. The ESPN guys had some pretty horrible things to say about Rush. So I guess not everyone is so loyal. I imagine there's a lot more info out there but the MSM might not be a great market place to sell stories about the MSM.
