Mike Malloy

[Bill Bored]

In case you haven't heard, send your polite emails requesting Malloy's reinstatement on Air America to: [e-mail] and put the words "I Like Mike" in the subject line.

And please keep this thread kicked! There is also a phone number you can call. Someone please post it here if you have it.

[NYCGirl]

5. Sam Seder is taking over the 9AM to noon spot. NT

[MoonRiver]

20. I was just thinking the same thing.

Jerry is disgusting. Half the time he talks about the latest celebrity scandal, or newest tune. The other half he seems to be apologizing for the reichwing.
:mad:

[Ilsa]

6. I did that days ago, but I have heard that

Mike and Kathy wouldn't return after what happened.

I am still wondering if there was something in particular that brought AAR to this decision. I harken back to late one night when the subject of re-signing contracts, new schedules was up, and he said something very specific about them needing to get rid of someone he couldn't name, but his initials were "Jerry Springer". I wonder if a comment like that about another AAR host could have been the straw.

Of course, it may be his evolving belief in favor of MIHOP being what happened that sent the suits overboard.

8. Sam and Rhandi both speak of Mike's return as a definite possibility. n/t

[Ilsa]

9. That would be great! Thanks for letting us know. I haven't been

able to listen much during the day and evening until after the kids get to bed.

[Change has come]

11. Randi had an excellent rant...

at the beginning of yesterdays show.

Mike is suppose to be on the Guy James show sometime this week.

10. Interesting, but...

...what would it matter if Jerry was already on his way out?! I think he got canned cuz he was on for 2 days for 4 hours during Randi's drive time slot and was unrelentingly railing on the complete and utter Katrina FAILURES (gee imagine THAT!) of BushCo (or should it read BushKKKo?) and FEMA, and MIHOP (took me a few to figure out that anachronism), and Israel/Lebanon. How they can say he was fired "for financial reasons" with a straight face WHEN HE WAS THE LOWEST PAID OF ALL HOSTS is beyond lame.
Plus I wonder, if what I heard is true, and Jerry is off to do DANCING WITH THE STARS, will he be doing the salsa with Tucker by any chance??????!!!!!
On second thought, let's NOT go there!

[kerstin]

16. I don't believe for a nanosecond it was financially related.

It occurred to me that maybe AAR plans on resurrecting Mike sometime after September 11, bowing to pressure from the Gestapo in removing him when they did. Imagine what Mike would be making of ABC's "docuganda" or what his 9/11 rant might be!

I also find it interesting that AAR yanked Mike in New York shortly before the primaries and kept him off until the ballots were securely cast. You know how Mike can go on about Hillary (and her Republican-lite ilk)! Also it was shortly after the primaries that Sam Seder was told his spot in the lineup was in jeopardy (which I find interesting as Sam was instrumental in the Lamont victory over Lieberman).

[goddess40]

25. "docuganda" I like that - may I use it?

I don't believe it had anything to do with money either, I'd believe that threats were made long before the money nonsense.

[kerstin]

28. You have my blessings, my child.

Just make sure you capitalize the "k" in kerstin on my royalty check!

Seriously, I wish I could claim it but actually I lifted it from another DUer and can't remember their username! (I'm almost certain they wouldn't mind though!)

[RandiRhodesArchives]

27. I put NOTHING past these cons

If I was ANY of the hosts at AAR, or any left leaning talk or blogger or whatever else, I would have at least 3 or 4 body guards, survalance cameras and a half dozen pit bulls with rabies!

[kerstin]

29. I like the way you think, RandiRhodesArchives.

Incidentally, are you THE RandiRhodesArchives by any chance?

7. Done. My reply:

To Whom it May Concern:

Mike Malloy opened my eyes. Here I was, a citizen of another country, listening to this guy, Mike Malloy for the first time, and nodding my head in agreement at almost every point he spoke!

Sure, he can be abrasive. And dismissive of other ideas. And he has no tolerance for those who don't care. But you can't fault him for the facts, figures and quotes he offers to prove his points. He has an old-time journailst's integrity.

But that's what I like to hear. No tolerance for sheer stupidity. Impatience for people who should know better. And passion for an ideal that almost everyone in America should have.

Take Mike back, I implore you.

12. Very Nice Letter.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Canuckistanian]

13. Thanks, I meant it!

:hi:

[bdamomma]

19. I wonder if AAR management are aware that many of us from other countries

who do listen to Mike, He just tells the truth.

14. Air America's cowardice...

I spent almost $200 a couple of months ago to acquire XM
Satellite Radio technology SPECIFICALLY to hear Mike Malloy
each night. I did this after the Atlanta Avondale Estates
station on which I had been listening to him dropped Malloy
because he did not kowtow to Zionists in this sick nation.

I had listened to Mike each night since getting the XM radio
and was relieved and overjoyed when he announced recently that
his contract with Air America had been renewed.  

I do not know the specifics of why he is off the air and
replaced by boring if well-meaning Thom Hartmann, but unless
Malloy is reinstated, I will cancel my subscription to XM
radio immediately and pack my radio in its box until there is
something on XM worth listening.  Their recent programming
changes have all been bad ones from my perspective.  Without
Malloy, there truly is nothing left on XM.

Randi Rhodes is okay, if grating on one's nerves eventually.

But Thom Hartmann, Peter Werbe, and most of all, Al Franken,
are not worth my time and I will never seek their commentary
out.

Mike Malloy is the only man I've ever heard on the U.S. news
media who has the intestinal fortitude to tell the unvarnished
truth about where this nation is going and what role the SOB's
in the Bush administration are playing in destroying America.

Mike did not hold back his anger. I appreciated that.

Mike was human and often related personal anecdotes about his
lovely wife and child--about his formative years in
Ohio--about his own admitted foibles. I appreciated that too.

Mike Malloy is unique and is tremendously needed in America
this fall to counteract the endless lies and manipulations of
Bush and his handlers.

I enjoyed Mike's use of sound clips that illustrated George W.
Bush's stupidity and limited IQ. Bush deserve to be mocked.

I agree with ALL that Mike Malloy said about Bush.

I will miss Mike Malloy, the brightest star in Air America's
firmament.

I predict that Air America will fail and that will not bother
me.  They are as cowardly as all of America's other media
whores who pull their punches and slant the news to appease
corporate America and advertisers.

Bravo to Mike Malloy!  He said many times that he would speak
from his heart and if Air America could not accept that, they
could fire him.

I am certain something better awaits Mike and his family.  He
is a talented and brave man.  Good will come his way, whatever
the hell Air America does with its mediocre and mild-mannered
so-called liberal commentators whose commentaries are being
dumbed down to accommodate those that are destroying America.

To hell with Air America and my best to Mike and his family.

15. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[newyawker99]

17. Hi dgh65!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[bdamomma]

22. welcome to DU

and a great letter. AAR needs to know what a big mistake they made taking Mike off.

[bdamomma]

18. done and Sam and Randi are working hard for Mike to

come back, apparently did anyone hear Sam talk about Mike at the close of his show last nite, Sam is pissed.

[a kennedy]

21. I e-mailed

and kick.

[BeachBuckeye]

23. Some AAR personalities seem to be upset

However, I did not see any of them walking out in protest. That would be the REAL way to protest.

[bdamomma]

24. too bad Randi, Sam and Mike start their own station.

[CountAllVotes]

30. no joke Guy!

If they were true blue and dedicated to the cause, they would have all walked out and never come back. And that is THE TRUTH!

I don't blame Malloy one tiny bit for telling AAR and all those with it to F off!

:kick:

[B Calm]

31. I haven't listen to AAR since they fired Malloy! They lost a lot

of listeners when they made that stupid move! I sent them several e-mails regarding Malloy and all have come back undeliverable. So SCREW AAR, I'm listening and enjoying on the H.O.R.N.

[Javaman]

26. What I find interesting about my AAR affiliate here in Austin...

They keep running Mike Malloy ads. Saying that he's still broadcasting from 12-3am.

:shrug:

[Nikki Stone 1]

32. kick

:kick:

[Bill Bored]

33. If Sam is moving to mornings, who's got 7-10 PM ET? Could it be Malloy? nt

[Rosco T.]

35. Rachel will have 6-8p Est

8-9 and 9-10 are up in the air

10-1 ... who knows???

[Bill Bored]

37. I thought they were talking about Laura Flanders for 10-1.

But then that leaves the weekends open.

[B Calm]

34. I heard AAR gave out a phone number just for Malloy calls. You

get a recording and leave a message. At the end of the day they dump all calls. E-mails are not going through either! We need a mailing address and flood the snobs with letters!

[CountAllVotes]

36. screw them!

Why waste any energy on THEM! They CANNOT stand to hear the TRUTH muchless SPEAK the TRUTH.

They lost the only gem they ever had and it was Mike Malloy.
Sorry bunch of assholes! I hope they go broke! TO HELL WITH AIRAMERICA RADIO. Bunch of damn pigs IMO.

and P.S. Malloy ain't going back! NO WAY NEVER!
