NYC WFAN Broadcaster Craig Carton is a major-league asshole

And I just told him so by posting this through his feedback form:


Carton-

You really boiled my blood by trying to downplay the BP oil catastrophe on yesterday morning's show. This BP mess is already one of the worst environmental disasters people have inflicted on the planet.

The volume of oil release from the well is estimated to be twice as bad as the Exxon Valdeze already with no end in sight, and FEMA is currently preparing plans for the evacuation of Tampa (http://www.examiner.com/x-17299-Hernando-County-Political-Buzz-Examiner~y2010m5d9-Gulf-Oil-Spill-2010-Plans-to-evacuate-Tampa-Bay-area-expected-to-be-announced).

I am an avid fisherman, and I would bet many of WFAN listeners are as well. This mess is ruining one of the best sport fishing areas in the world as well as countless tourism, recreational fishing and commercial fishing jobs (not to mention the devastation of the sea life itself).

Do us a favor and stick to sports commentary where your proud ignorance can really do no harm.

1. Good job for calling him on this.

I hope your protest makes him think. :kick:

2. The jerk is always spouting right wing talking points

I usually tune in to hear the sports recap in the morning, but I inevitably end up changing the station after he says something stupid

6. You might want to follow up with a note to management

about changing the station. Losing audience (and especially advertisers) does get their attention.

3. At least he usually admits to that fact though. (nt)

4. I wonder what its like to get rich being paid to be a jerk?

How do you live with that?

5. Let me know if you receive a response...

I'd be curious to know what Carton (or, more likely, the WFAN webmanager) has to say in reply.

7. He was a jackass when he was working in Philly years ago

I didn't think he had the capacity to change his stripes, so I am not surprised at what he said. Smarmy little prick.

8. Jesus Christ, this guy is still AROUND?

9. One of the Great Radio PUNKS of all time !

A worthless douchebag who has always been a rightwinger from Philly, to New Jersey, and now WFAN.:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
