Hyman to stop his 'The Point' remarks, says 'I'm exhausted'

Although not as well known as Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity, Mark Hyman has made a name for himself with his fiery conservative commentaries on dozens of television stations owned by Hunt Valley's Sinclair Broadcast Group.





Yesterday, Hyman, 48, announced that he plans to drop his daily commentary, known as "The Point," at the end of the month to spend more time with his four children.

"I want to focus more on family activities and recharge my batteries," Hyman said in a telephone interview. "I'm exhausted."

Hyman, a former Sinclair vice president and until two years ago its spokesman, said he was not being pushed out and that he would still work on "strategic issues" for Sinclair, which owns or operates more than 50 stations, including Fox affiliate WBFF in Baltimore. The company said Hyman "may make occasional televised appearances to discuss current events."

But after more than five years and some 2,000 daily commentaries, Hyman's absence may well be felt by his adherents, who welcomed his excoriative editorials against Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's war record during the 2004 presidential campaign and Hyman's descriptions of the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys."

1. I smell a scandal coming. eom

9. I rather think he's just lost his market

His soap ain't selling anymore. He was a one trick pony and his magic only worked during the rise of the Neocon PNAC movement. We had the displeasure of listening to him until Sinclair sold our local TV station and he disappeared, but the crap (propaganda) I heard had the most peculiar slant that mostly focused on foreign policy and actually gained traction through 2005. That was then, and this is now and he can't reinvent himself after branding himself a member war monger camp. The only scandal he will get caught in is exposing where his real funding came from (hint: CIA/Carlyle Group).

2. God has a sense of humor with people's last names

3. Getting while the getting is good.

I suspect we will see more of this, as the market for RW hate narrows.
The minor players will switch format.

4. When this guy comes on the tv and I'm around, my husband

can't get to the remote fast enough.

You go ahead and take a little rest, Mark. I agree that your obnoxious diatribes are exhausting.

5. poor kids

but this is great news,
his disgusting rants during our local newscasts will be history!

:applause:

6. I truly sympathize with someone who has to endure that nazi

I saw one of his "editorials." Fact-free nazi ranting almost underestimates how bad it was. To be sujbected to it on a regular basis...well, put it this way. He'd be in ICU and I'd be in jail, probably.

7. Sex with underage interns nt

[bullwinkle428]

8. I'm subjected to this assnugget's editorials every so often, when I forget

to change the channel before the end of the newscast of our local CBS affiliate. "I'm exhausted"...yeah, jagoff, try using that excuse with anyone serving in Iraq trying to dodge IEDs or working 3 jobs so they can pay the rent! :banghead:

10. It's very tiring shilling for the Corrupt Republican Party.

11. my local affiliate got bought back from Sinclair last year, best thing that coulda

happened, i called them one day after one of Hyman's rants and the poor guy that answered that phone said the complaint calls after each Hyman rant were numerous.

12. mark Hyman

I think we need to break this 'Hyman'......

[warrens]

13. Good example of how the culture wars are turning around

The kitchen is getting too hot for the scumbags, and they're getting out while the getting is good.
