Sign this petition. Tell them to hire Mike Malloy!

[Cascadian]

Calling all truth seekers!

It seems that AnShell Media could squander a golden opportunity to hire Mike Malloy. According to Malloy, he has not been approached by AnShell. Let's contact them and flood their email box calling for them to hire him once IEAmerica tanks. I have even started a petition.

What do you say,guys?

WTF!! People, we have thousands of members and at least hundreds of regular posters. We can do better than this. For a real liberal voice on the radio please stand up and be heard.

[gun_toting_liberal]

14. Mike Malloy sucks.

Sorry. I've heard him. He's almost as fast and loose with the facts as Rush Limbaugh. I don't want to be lied to by liberals any more than I do by right-wing bastards.

[CatWoman]

16. so why are you in this thread?

:nuke:

[gun_toting_liberal]

18. To put in my 2 cents.

You got a problem?

[CatWoman]

21. you're the one with the problem

how could your "two cents" add anything to the conversation to people who are trying to garner support for someone that we admire and respect????????????

your "two cents" is not wanted here.

go find an "anti Malloy" thread -- your talents would be more appropriate there.

I don't want LR to turn into some kind of Pigboy fantasy world either but please list some of Malloy's "Mike vs. Reality" statements.

[CatWoman]

22. I'd appreciate some enlightenment as well

[gun_toting_liberal]

23. Can't do it.

I haven't listened to him since the ridiculous "Mission Accomplished" statement that Bush made on the aircraft carrier.

I never dedicated anything he has said to permanent memory. So I am unable to give you quotes. That is another reason to not want him as a representative voice for liberalism.

Thom Hartmann is a better radio personality. He doesn't come off as a screaming idiot.

[CatWoman]

25. your 2 + 2 is equalling 13

I never dedicated anything he has said to permanent memory. So I am unable to give you quotes.

but didn't you just tell us the EXACT opposite? That he twists facts? and doesn't research his facts?

you can't have it both ways.

[gun_toting_liberal]

29. Uh, OK...

That didn't make a whole lot of sense, but I know that I should just agree with you, that way everybody could just march in lockstep carrying Mr. Malloy's banner.

I said, "Sorry. I've heard him. He's almost as fast and loose with the facts as Rush Limbaugh. I don't want to be lied to by liberals any more than I do by right-wing bastards."

Tar me a Freeper, but Malloy is a damn poor voice for liberalism.

[Selwynn]

37. EVIDENCE??????

You have none - so why should we give your opinion any weight or credibility.

I don't march in lockstep, I just don't turn like a blind sheep to follow someone spewing out statements when he obviously has no support for anything he's saying.

You show me clear evidence, and I'll consider it.

27. It's funny about this board.

Everytime someone that disagrees with someone else, they are accused of being a Freeper.

Is case you didn't notice, Malloy is a radio personality. I can't just go and find some of his printed comments in search.

Nope. Not a Freeper.

[CatWoman]

28. It's not about disagreement

It's about the vitriol, lack of facts, lack of being able to back up your screed, and overall hostility.

[gun_toting_liberal]

32. Vitriol?

I say he sucks (I guess someone that is overly sensitive might consider it vitriol, I was just trying to be concise.)

I think he's a damn poor voice. I would prefer to have someone like Thom Hartmann who doesn't freak the fuck out as a part of his schtick. If that makes me a vitriolic, hate filled Freeper. I guess I'm on the wrong board.

76. Making assertions that Malloy lies

without evidence to back it up is a big boo-boo around here. Too many of us love Malloy for his huge brass balls and absolute honesty.

Show me a lie by Malloy and maybe you'll gain some credibility, otherwise you look like a shit-stirrer.

I'll take everybody's word here that he is good.

I'd also love to see Colin McEnroe on the network, too - pretty liberal, smart and funny on WTIC AM 1080 in Hartford.

[Armstead]

15. Oh Yeah, McEnroe

I wish his show were on the Internet. He's great.

I personally think individual communications have more clout. But I support anything like the petition which will get them to consider putting Malloy on.

[OneTwentyoNine]

20. I'm #28 and here's a bump....

I signed but.. the fact that Malloy hasn't been brought on board for a network that won't start until next March or April isn't too shocking. How about Guy James,Randi Rhodes??

[LTR]

47. #65 here.

I've listened to Malloy's show and I like it. Alot.

If this new radio network is going to succeed, they need to fight the neocons on their own level. As someone that used to work on-air in commercial radio, I feel it is very important for AnShell to hire qualified people, and not just "names". Can Janeane Garofalo do radio? For three hours a day, five days a week? Can she engage callers? Get people to tune in? We don't know. Radio is more than just a soapbox.

They need real talk-show hosts, ones that can keep people tuned in for at least part of a three-hour show. They need excitement. That's what Rush realized, and look where he is today (though I think he's the scum of the earth).

So Mike gets a little outrageous and flashy. This new network NEEDS that. That is what gets the sheeple to tune in. If you want 100% hard news and dull facts, with light commentary, listen to NPR. If you want entertainment talk, listen to commercial talk radio.

IF they want to fight the right-wing on their own turf, and be successful at it, they must master their game. Sorry, but it's reality.

50. I support all the anti-Bush voices on the air we can get...BUT

Some of you ought to be ashamed of yourself for your reaction to gun-toting-liberal. Piling on someone just because they think one of your favorite radio personalities "sucks" is juvenile. Schoolyard bully stuff.

Unless all of you have transcripts from a Malloy show to make your case, NONE of you can say he's a liar or not. It's all opinion at this point.

Now, on to signing the petition....

65. Malloy is pretty poor

Strictly speaking in a technical sense, as to his radio abilities, the guy is VERY weak. No way will they put this kind of $$$ into this project and then turn around and hire an amateur sounding 4th stringer like Mike Malloy. Sorry, just my opinion.

[benburch]

79. Poor?

If so, it is the kind of "poor" that had his show #1 in its time slot (9 PM to Midnight) when he was in Chicago on WLS-AM.

I'll take that kind of poor over whatever you think of as "professional" each and every time.

82. Anshell was the first name for the new Liberal Radio Network.

It changed its name to Progress Media, and its subsidiary Central Air Media is the entity that will be running the radio side of things.

(Please correct my understanding if I'm wrong on these particulars, folks.)

I agree with your conclusion. That's why the poster has no credibility. Are all Mike's opinions correct? Of course not. But he's a heck of a lot more informed than most and isn't afraid to take on the administration. Do we really need more polite accomodationists to help with our insomnia? This country needs to wake up, and without a clear and defining voice on the left we can just forget it.

Mike Malloy is just one voice, but a voice that deserves to be heard. Last time I checked there weren't any 24hr talk show hosts out there so there's plenty of room for the high minded discourse you're most comfortable with (mixed with Al Franken and whoever) for the other 21 hours. What's embarrasing isn't that people get "piled on" for not supporting their arguments but that someone expects a free pass when criticizing and not backing it up with facts.

We know what fails. It's time for a bold step to counter the misinformation that 90% of the American public are subjected to daily. Sign the petition.
