Jesus!, Jerry Springer just signed off(11.59am est) and had no idea

[Demonaut]

Roberts was confirmed, his closing statement, "we'll see if Roberts was confirmed" WTF! doesn't this guy have a computer in his studio? He's the least informed host on AAR, he has no idea what the issues are, weak in debating and lately seems to returning to his TV format, lame sensationalism....Get someone else AAR!!!!

[IndyOp]

1. I cannot listen to Springer anymore --

I just feel too often as if I am going to heave.

He is, however, doing us a service -- he IS pulling people from the OTHER side toward the middle. When I could (can sometimes) listen I am amazed at the number of callers who identify themselves as Republican and then go on to thank Springer for hosting a 'civil' show and agree with one of this liberal rants.

I do wish Clear Channel would pick him up because he is really a middle-of-the-roader and I wish we could keep AAR stoked with real lefties.

:kick:

[skooooo]

4. Right, we need more monolithic thought

Springer does appeal to those not already sold on the liberal or left wing side. I think he definitely belongs on AAR. Where Malloy turns some off, Springer turns them on. That's worth alot.

[sam sarrha]

5. I agree with you.. But i just cant take it...

[IndyOp]

13. I wish they'd play Springer in the early AM -- when

his audience is up and moving already and play Mark & Marc during the ten to noon slot -- I love Mark & Marc and rarely hear their show live.

:kick:

[patricia92243]

14. Amen! Love to be able to hear Springer. n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

23. Thank god I have Stephanie Miller

Springer's show has to the most boring show on AAR.

[SammyBlue]

31. I've listened to Springer. . .he's not a middle-of-the-roader

Compared to this Republican party, anyone not with them is a moderate. The term liberal is an odd phrase.

Personally, it's funny. Savage called Limbaugh a "moderate." If we are calling Springer a moderate, we are extreme left wing because, (news to Weiner-boy), Limbaugh is not a moderate and news to everyone here. . .Springer is NOT a moderate either.

Alan Colmes is a moderate. Thomas Friedman is a moderate. Springer isn't.

[lazarus]

34. But isn't that the point?

By calling Rush a moderate, they've moved the middle waaaaaaaaaaaay over to the right.

If we call our liberals moderate, we can start moving the middle back over to the left.

[rodeodance]

2. oops

[alcibiades_mystery]

3. This is what you get worked up about?

Get a life.

[Demonaut]

8. Don't you think that the hosts of AAR need to be informed? This is fairly

significant news. and I have a life, did you forget to beat your cat this morning?

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. Yeah

Some life. You're railing about jerry Springer not knowing something 25 minutes after it happened. :eyes: Oi. Find a hobby, then.

And good luck with that...

[Demonaut]

17. No, I'd rail about jerry not knowing five minutes after it was announced

I listen to AAR to be informed, I expect the host's to be as informed as any here at DU...and please don't use personal attacks when responding to any post. I unfortunately responded in a like manner and regret the infraction. Criticism is welcomed but what if this is my hobby and my life?, I can't voice my concerns and outrage or my support and sympathy?
Do I need consult you or others before I form an opinion? Leave the attacks for freepers and trolls..

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. No, you can have your opinion

And it can be my opinion that your outrage and opinion is a waste of valuable time and energy. Take it or leave it. I really don't give a fuck.

[Demonaut]

19. lol, the last sentence says it all

:eyes:

[alcibiades_mystery]

29. with respect to your minor obsessions?

you damn right

[Demonaut]

33. then

by your own admission it makes no sense to respond?! :crazy: Hypocrisy and lacking in the intellectual capacity to argue a point without resorting to personal attacks are the hallmarks of the grate debater:popcorn:

























"grate" as in grating

[alcibiades_mystery]

36. You assume indifference precludes ridicule

A costly error.

[Demonaut]

37. lol,

and ridicule merits your valuble time, A sorry companion and friend you must be. THAT merits pity.

[alcibiades_mystery]

38. Actually

my friends and I are all fond of making fun of dumb shit, like near hysteria over a Jerry Springer misstep and the like. My wife digs it too. We must be awful people, but at least we're not maniacs or losers.

[Demonaut]

39. lol, wonders never cease

you have friends? and you're married? :rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

40. That's right

And remember, my advice to get a life was not so much a personal attack as it was a treatment option. Try to get yourself some friends. Probably flying off the handle and ranting like a lunatic over minor radio events is not so good on that front.

[Demonaut]

43. your point

is moot, proffered advice? I can't believe you still think that I would take your advice, keep it and your negative comments...or maybe follow your own and learn something. If you disagree with a poster, insult them, thats good advice? thats an example of progressive thought? My God , your so full of yourself...lol...thats the pity garnered

[Atman]

6. Most of Jerry's callers seem to be fans of his teevee show

You have to admit, Springer's audience seems largely GOP sheeple and "manufactured housing" dwellers who apparently think they'll find married pregnant bisexual teenage cousins or something. And that is a GOOD thing, because otherwise these poeple would be getting their news from Fox. So even if Springer is A WEEK out of date, it's still a net gain, as these sheeple are likely getting their first exposure to "our side" of the news.

[0007]

12. God ain't this the truth......?

[FlaGranny]

21. Come on now - manufactured housing dwellers?

Some of us, especially at retirement age, can't afford $250,000 homes.

[Atman]

22. Geez, sometimes you just can't win around here

I was merely trying to avoid using the "trailer trash" cliche...but now you made me!

:hug:

[FlaGranny]

25. Ha, ha!

I couldn't resist. ;-)

[Atman]

30. BTW, where in FL are you from, Granny?

I'm a Cocoa Beach kid myself. Left when I was 19. ;( While I never lived in a "manufactured home," when I moved away from home I lived in an old converted circa 1959 Air Force barracks house on the beach. It was up cinder blocks. I lived on that sand bar nearly twenty years, went through hurricanes and tornadoes, but that damned house is STILL there. Granted, no Cat 5 storms, but still...it never blew (or floated) away! They just don't build 'em like that anymore!

[FlaGranny]

45. I'm in Boynton Beach now.

Originally from NJ and couldn't take the cold any more. We moved to this area 28 years ago and enjoyed it until the hurricanes started to get annoying. Now it's a matter of holding the breath in August and September.

[Ladyhawk]

44. I'm apartment trash, then. :D n/t

[madrchsod]

7. jerry prob doesn`t have a monitor in front of him

his -producer- does so don`t jump on jerry about this it was prob his producer. jerry is the only host who for better or worse does at least understand the down and outers and the fringe of our culture. don`t like jerry-change the dial

[meisje]

10. How Dare He!! The Nerve!!

[elfin]

11. I don't like his show

too repetitive, too much general philosophising and not enough specific instances to prove a point, Seems like a nice enough guy - just not what I want to hear for such a long stretch of time.

[jbonkowski]

15. I think you misheard

He was saying a topic for tomorrow's show was the NEXT Supreme Court nominee. The last thing he said was that we might possibly know as early as tomorrow who the nominee is, implying Bush would announce a name as soon as Roberts was confirmed (to distract from Delay?)

At first, I also thought he was talking about Roberts and the vote today.

[bunny planet]

16. Thom Hartmann is now on the AAR lineup but they've put him on Sundays

here in the NYC market. IMHO, he should replace Springer's time slot across the country. Springer is just not a strong liberal voice, he is not accomplishing anything in terms of educating people about the issues. Thom needs to replace him, there's a man with a wealth of knowledge. I think lots of AAR listeners need to fill in the suggestion box at the AAR site and request that change. I'd also love them to syndicate Stephanie Miller or the Young Turks on the weekends or something.

[CAcyclist]

26. I heard Thom once and I looooovvvve him.

He is clear, concise and the best informed commentator they have. I would love to be able to hear him more often.

[bunny planet]

42. go to www.thomhartmann.com every weekday from 12 to 3 pm and click

the listen live button and you can hear Thom everyday. Check AAR listings for when he'd be on in your market if you get AAR.

[Darth Lib]

20. Maybe he just didn't care.

[zulchzulu]

24. Springer is toast

He's in the crapper on so many markets. I can barely stand to listen to him...he's so predictable and fairly uninformed of the issues.

Give Hartmann his spot. We need brains on AAR, not poseurs.

[Freddie Stubbs]

27. Perhaps if the subject were transvestite hookers

He would have been more up to speed.

[Javaman]

28. He's the same guy that called pickles a lovely woman yesterday.

[Opusnone]

32. Springer is an idiot

Had the repukes tried they couldn't have picked a better poster boy for uninformed left talk show host. The guy is a joke who couldn't debate his way out of a paper sack. Give me Randi and Mike Malloy any day over this milquetoast!

[goodhue]

35. Roberts was confirmed!?

[IndyOp]

41. ROFLMAO

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MazeRat7]

46. In my opinion, he is doing just fine. I you think you can do better....

get your own show. *grin

(Aren't "opinions" great... we all have them...)
