Who is better Bill Press or Stephanie Miller??

[center rising]

I like both, but I like Press a little better. All those sound effects that Stephanie has on her show, can be a bit irritating at times.

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. comparing apples and oranges, in my view - all of the left/progressive voices are unique

and make significant contributions to lending a voice to our concerns.

[dennis4868]

2. They're different...

Stephanie is good if you want a laugh but also some news and Press is the more serious show.

[limpyhobbler]

3. Stephanie Miller

is a comedy show so if you just want something easy it works.

Bill press is ya know, more serious or whatever.

[Egalitarian Thug]

4. Stephanie & all the sexy liberals by miles, not even close IMO. n/t

[stevedeshazer]

5. I'm just happy that there are ANY leftie voices on commercial radio.

So, I love them all and I'm lucky to live in a place where I can hear actual progressive talk.

I like Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman, Mike Malloy, and especially Thom Hartmann. And there are notable others I'm leaving out.

Any time someone in their car or office can hear something other than El Rushbo or Hannity, it's a good day. It beats the hundreds of crappy right wing nuts on the radio, syndicated on the A (Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck) list, or the B list which may include Imus, Savage, Levin, or the C list like Hugh Hewitt or Michael Medved or Laura Ingraham.

6. I'm in Kansas City, a liberal desert! I'd give my eyeteeth to be able to listen to either

of these shows live on the radio.........

[center rising]

7. Well, if you get Current TV, then you can watch them!!

[CreekDog]

8. download Iheart radio app on your iphone, android or ipad

and play KTLK 1150 Los Angeles mornings from 6-9am Pacific Time.

that's how I listen.

(or you can listen/watch live on your computer at Stephanie Miller's website, which has live streaming)

[GoCubsGo]

13. Several stations web-stream them.

I listen on WCPT out of Chicago, which carries both of them, along with Ed Schultz and Thom Hartmann. On the weekends, they also run Hal Sparks' and David Schuster's shows, along with "The Ring of Fire" and weekly "best of" replays of Steph's and Thom's shows.

24. I have satellite radio

But Bill is now on at the crack of dawn and Stephanie is on in the middle of the day. But I do get to listen to Thom Hartman during my afternoon commute.

I caved in about 8 years ago and got the satellite radio. It saves my mind here in red state hell.

[SunSeeker]

9. Stephanie Miller is WAY more entertaining.

Laughter is the best medicine, and the most powerful weapon. She has a lot more fun on her show, and it is always upbeat--something I can really use on most days given the news cycle on MSM.

[jp11]

10. Serious cat is always serious and when he

wants his liberal media fix he chooses Bill Press.



Stay serious friends.

[mmonk]

11. Momma.

Her themes and guests are better at showing the absurdity of rightwing extremism. Press is good also but Steph's approach to get through to people is better.

[CTyankee]

16. are the mooks still on with her?

Jim Ward's take on a drunken Tom DeLay falling off a bar stool used to make me laugh out loud!

[mmonk]

19. Yes and voice deity Jim Ward is still going strong.

Current is really helping with exposure as well and the listenership is growing.

[CTyankee]

20. does she still play "lying sack of crap"? that always cracked me up, too!

[JoePhilly]

26. yup

[mmonk]

28. Heard it recently. Never gets old.

[CTyankee]

30. I also used to love those little clips from "Mommy Dearest." And the one from "Psycho" when

RWinger Tony Perkins would me mentioned: "No, mother, no!" and the freaky music...

I once nearly drove off the road once listening to Jim Ward doing Berlusconi on the car radio...

[dionysus]

23. you mean Drunky McPukeshoes?

[CTyankee]

29. god, that was funny! Esp. how he would mangle Kay Bailey Hutchinson's name...

[Honeycombe8]

12. I find Miller irritating. She's sort of nervous, or something. Unpleasant to watch. nt

[Jane Austin]

14. Too many factual errors on Stephanie's show.

They repeat stories that have long been discredited as untrue, and that makes them too much like the right-wing shows we decry for the same thing.

[mfcorey1]

15. Why divide progressive radio with comparisons. There are so few that we need to avoid this.

[Laochtine]

17. Steph has a comedy show, mocking the powers that be

Stephanie, Jim and Chris are brilliant imo.

I don't want to spend my life in a bucket of tears.

Mel Brook said the greatest insult to Hitler was to make fun of him (paraphrasing)

I can live and laugh with that. and I like Bill too

[Bluenorthwest]

21. Mel Brooks:

"Rhetoric does not get you anywhere, because Hitler and Mussolini are just as good at rhetoric. But if you can bring these people down with comedy, they stand no chance."

[Malikshah]

18. Irrelevant discussion...but if gun to head then Steph and the mooks. No contest.

Steph, Jim, and Chris have done the hard slog. They've kept to the roots and not played "the game"

They are the real deal and get it done on so many levels.

AND...they're only getting better!!!


Go Steph. Go Current TV!!!

In the end-- our tent is large enough for all.

[dionysus]

22. Mama. Bill is nice but milquetoast in comparison...

[Fla Dem]

25. Love Stephanie for the irreverence, but what happen to "Mondays with McClurg"

Loved Edie McClurg, never heard why she isn't on anymore.

[JoePhilly]

27. I think Edie's been working on some other comedy project.

Kind of like how Aisha Tyler isn't on Tuesday's currently because she's on some morning talk.

Plus, they do the show from 6-9am PST.

They have been having Kathleen Madigan on recently. She's great too.
