2 minutes in to this show and I can tell that SPRINGER SUCKS! |

Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 08:39 AM by Must_B_Free
What's next AA? Going to replace Randi Rhodes with Wendi Friesen?
They threw away Lizz Winstead for this dry piece of toast?
Baaah.
Springer reminds me of that idiot Mike Levy from the TV infomercial Amazing Discoveries. "You mean radio is so simple, even I could do it?"
"Poland tossed off the reigns of Communism..." Huh! he said "tossed off". huh...
OK; he's going to start taking calls in a minute; maybe this will pick it up a bit.
Looks like noone is calling. Two breaks so far and no calls.

I listened to him last week and I have a fairly open mind about anyone who is a Dem. Springer is clearly their weakest link. Bring back Rachel Maddow!

4. I listed last week and was not impressed either.... |
|
I was listening in the car for 15 straight minutes and all he did was talk in what sounded like stream of consciousness to me. I agreed with what he was saying, but the format of him just talking and rambling was numbing so I found myself just tuning out. It was like a longer, less edited, more political version of his "final thought" from the end of his tv show.
I miss unfiltered and Rachel Maddow. She understood the concept of brevity and she knew how to walk the fine line between interviewing someone and in that interview when to hit them and when to let them hang themselves.

6. he needs an echo or something |
|
it's like listening to some guy's private conversation with himself.
Malloy and Randi Rhodes even have people in the studio they are talking with, either a Kathy or a Tim Allen...
Springer is coming off is like a dry fuck.

9. What he was saying was o.k.... |
|
..but the format was way too dry and mind numbing. I wasn't disinterested because of WHAT he was saying. Just how we was saying it, and the lack of a more structured format beyond him just rambling.

But in general he is much better than the recent (Lizz-less) Unfiltered.

He made his money exploiting the poor on his slime bucket show. Now, he wants to be a man of the people .... the man is scum.

"Slime bucket" is the perfect term for Jerry Springer! I caught about two minutes of his TV show. It was like watching a car wreck in progress--even more disturbing than "When Animals Attack".

36. Yes, Jerry is a con man |
|
Jerry sold his soul for the big bucks when he did that disgusting T.V. show. Before that, he was somewhat of a serious political pundit here in Ohio. Now Jerry wants to go back to be a responsible commentator. I'm not buying it.
Also, his radio show is dull. Go away, Jerry. You give progressives a bad name.

I can't respect the television show, or anyone having much to do with it.
Couldn't they find someone with less baggage?

I don't know how he manages to have an audience with a liberal radio show--he's shown himself for what he is. He'll go along with whatever sells, no matter how damaging it is.

it pisses me off that this clown who made a career exploiting gay people and making them look like buffoons is replacing AARs *ONLY* authentic gay voice.
I am having major Rachel withdrawls.

a city councilman and a TV news commentator BEFORE his tacky show.
He admits his show is trash, but he has ALWAYS been political.
To each his own.

a spot.
The two women just sucked so bad, their sophmoric bullshit was not amusing or informative.
Springer could use some improvement.

25. Rachel starts her own show on AAR on April 11th |
|
It's a hard news show from 5–6AM weekdays; it'll perhaps be rebroadcast later in the day on some stations.

29. Well, I just changed stations. |

I just kept thinking of all those dysfunctional people he so blatantly exploited for that sorry excuse of a TV program he had. Can't reconcile the two personnas and don't particularly care to. Jerry Springer has so sullied his own career and I don't care to assist him with rehabilitating it.

How long til he's accused of being a sellout?
Or pandering to the right?
not long I'd guess.

What a fabulous idea! We waited years to get a liberal radio network, but let's organize a boycott because we don't like one of their shows.

38. I'm listening to him now and he reminds me of Phil Donahue. |
|
He seems to be a very kind and compassionate man who wants to talk about what we can do to help our lesser fellowmen. If he isn't as sophisticated and hip as Lizz and Rachel on the majority report, it's because he's trying not to entertain us but reach out to all of us and relight those liberal fires missing in our party recently.
I for one will give him a chance. I hope that AAR doesn't move too far to the middle either though as well. It's too bad they couldn't have kept the Majority Report on in another time slot. Maybe there's room for another "left of the dial" station or maybe even cable TV?

"Unfiltered" is what I meant. I find I am getting some of the shows I like replaced by other shows that are sort of in the middle by my lame local station. They replaced Mike Malloy with a psychology dame (not Dr. Laura)! Can you believe that?! :argh:
