Severin is getting syndicated across the country, that sucks

read the article. I really fucking hate that guy. He has an O'Reilly-like talent for a lethal combination of ratings grabbing and pure evil. I've met many a dope converts here in New England who are too weak minded to resist his right-wing mind tricks, you could say. Who buy into the notion that he's some objective citizen advocate, and not the lifelong paid cog in the vast right wing conspiracy he is.

If Infinity replaces Howard Stern with him on WBCN I'm never listening to an Infinity station again. Or even if they put him on drivetime on WBCN.

1. Sounds like he has a wonderful Schtick happening
Just what we need instead an "intelligent" sounding Nazi-fascist loud mouth.

11. He hasn't the balls to "be himself' on a national program
No way. The things he says on Boston talk radio will never fly nationally.

2. Off topic a bit - I can get WBZ (1030) out here in the sticks
They used to be a really interesting somewhat lefty independent (I think). Lately they sound like any other right wing piece of shit. What happened?

5. A day late reply, but no
I am in Iowa so you need a 50,000 watt clear channel to get out here. Those frequencies are already covered. 1200 is out of SanAntonio and 1430 out of OK City, I believe. We have 1 AirAmerica outpost in the Quad Cities (thank some deity or higher being).

4. Jay Severin
is a wimpy little proto-fascist douchebag water-carrying shmuck for the likes of the Bush cabal. I've heard him many times on the Boston FM station. He's only slightly more obnoxious than that genuflecting fascist frigging cow, Marjorie Egan, also featured on the same station. To make matters worse he's a pompous ass all full of himself hiding behind his microphone in some air-conditioned studio freely traducing the names of good people making honest efforts to help others, namely Democrats around the country. He adds absolutely nothing to any substantive discussion of the issues facing this nation and the best course of action is to ignore him and/or make a complete ass of him as the occasion requires.

6. This guy makes me sick.
I heard he got kicked off of msnbc because of sexual harassment.

I don't know the whole story, just a little bit, having to do with tucker carlsons show. Or when he was at Fenway with Imus at Fenway Park.

Also, I heard the he actually broadcasts from New Jersey. Yeah, New Englands Best and Brightest, my ass!

I have called into his show a couple of times and did my best to make him look like an ass.

8. He broadcasts from his house in Sag Harbor Long Island
He's not only a non-New Englander, New Yorker, but a Hamptonite. No offense, Hamptonites.


I dunno about him getting fired from MSNBC for sexual harrassment. If they had a problem with that, wouldn't they have fired Imus? He drove out 2 different hot news anchors in the span of a few months (Amy Robach and then Contessa Brewer). I always found those 2 to be maybe the most desirable anchors on cable, and was sorely dissapointed when I saw both of them working for that stupid fossile, but quite interested in the events surrounding their departure from his show.

Do a little googling, it's quite interesting.

7. I remember election eve in 2004
On the drive home, he was lambasting every conservative and repub he could think of for losing to Kerry. At that point the exit polls had Kerry winning.

I haven't listened since.
