3. Apples and oranges--more like apples and rocks, actually

He played a clip of Shill saying that it's "false" that his "enemy Stuart Smalley" beat him in the ratings, and he's willing to give $25G to charity if someone can prove that he doesn't have the bigger audience.

Notice the weasel? Bill was beaten in ratings, not in audience size--apparently, the radio industry regards those as different factors. And is Bill talking about his New York City audience, or his national one? That wasn't clear in his message, either.

But Bill is wrong to blame Al anyway. Isn't he aware that in New York City, Rush Limbaugh comes on at the same time as Al, and his show starts two hours later? Of course he is--but he can't call Rush his enemy, now can he? If Bill really wants to place blame, it should be on his NYC radio station for the way he's scheduled!
