Linda Moulton Howe should take over Coast to Coast AM

Thursday night was so appalling. George Noory, who is a right wing nut, cut Linda Moulton Howe off because her "line was bad."

I would much rather listen to Linda Howe on a bad line than listen to George Noory blab on with his moronic "Open Line" callers, who he is so proud of. But they are embarrassing, and George Noory is destroying Coast to Coast AM from what Art Bell designed.

I know I have posted about this before, but I am so so so pissed about this, and nobody seems to care.

Coast to Coast used to be historic and important under Art Bell, and Linda Howe was a huge part of this, but George Noory seems to me to be a moron. He does not believe in hurricanes, HAARP, natural disasters, or their causes, but he believes that American doctors are making viruses in labs just to kill us. He doesn't believe in solar flares, but he believes that very rich people on Wall Street run everything and are making up climate change, so he ought to write the book that revises Art Bell and Whitney Striber's book on Global Climate Change.

He believes in miniature people and giants, but not global warming or climate change.

He disdains science but worships secret planets and conspiracies.

It was neither historical nor important at any point in its run, regardless of which overly-credulous dipwad was manning the mic.

you called them boys dipwads. That must mean you are smart. And your post was just dripping wet with disdain. Only truly smart people are disdainful.

Seriously, you expect anything else when confronted with the likes of Hoagland, cryptozoologists, Whitley Strieber, pyramidology, past lives, Atlantis, or the End Times? That sort of nonsense deserves nothing but endless scorn and ridicule.

It was like watching the "Twilight Zone". It was all about bumps in the night and it was super great fun. And occasionally, there were really interesting stories. The two guys at the helm now are so incredibly dull and unimaginative that it's no more gripping than any other radio show. We went from "Theater of the Mind" to "George Noory tells boring stories" and "Ian Punnett takes a piss."

So little imagination and sooooooo sad. :(

Or the rude audiece members who shout out how the magician does the trick.

The rest of us were having fun, allowing ourselves an opportunity to suspend disbelief and join in on the mystery of the moment. Was this little moment of spoil fun for y'all?

What is the goal in pointing out that the blood was fake, and the card was just inside the magician's sleeve? Does that make these people feel better than rest of us? Do they have that little respect for themselves that they have to piss on our fun just to satisfy their desire to be respected? Because, ultimately, that's how such people are seen - as someone that wants to be respected, but can't do it on their own steam, and so beats down others just to elevate themselves.

They don't want the off-beat radio hosts, the special effect driven movies, or the magic card tricks, because these things take the focus off of how god damned smart they are.

Well, they're smart alright. THey are one smart group of motherfuckers. All hail their mighty intellect.

"Do you feel better than the rest of us?!" :rofl: Ridiculous.

:evilgrin:

:rofl:

thorry, that's thdust thoo fthunny!

I vote for Ian, he's brilliant. He always asks the right questions and knows what he's talking about.

A far better host than Noory. Nobody can recreate the show like Art in his prime though.

I don't want to hear about Goldman Sachs at midnight. I want my spaceships and the anti-Christ call in line, and Malachi Martin talking exorcism and Freemasons.

Ian is just soooooooooo boring..

zzzzzzzzzzzz

i do Goldman-Sachs all day long!!

but, ian's not always boring...just most of the time :evilgrin:

ART WE MISS YOU!

topic they were discussing. I have noticed in the past year they've had many more political discussions and they both tilt very much to the right. Noory is worse than Ian, Ian is closing the gap. Noory has Jerome Corsi on fairly regularly, he the author of the 2 stinkeroo books; The Obama Nation and Unfit for Command. I miss Art, I thought he leaned right, but he was never overt about it. Did I believe all the crap they talked about, heck no, but it was a good listen as I fell asleep, not so much anymore. But the show is distributed by Premiere Networks so perhaps they have their marching orders. "Premiere syndicates some of the most famous names and programs in American conservative broadcasting, including the Rush Limbaugh Show, Coast to Coast AM, Jim Rome, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity."

I never knew where Art stood politically. He had said some rather nasty things about Clinton during his term,but then when Bush came into office he defended Clinton one night.I recall him talking one night about new world order conspiracies on his show during the Bush years and he made an effort to say the NWO would soon be deciding who the President would be. He then said something like,well the Supreme Court has done it so anything is possible.I heard him trash some liberals but then he praised AL Gore for his environmental activism. He is a big believer in global warming and has actually told off callers who thinks it's a myth. So, Art I think really does keep you guessing. I've heard criticize both conservatives and liberals,but he has obviously stayed clear of getting into the political discussion which I think is very smart.

Coast to Coast used to be such a wild and wooly show. Now it is just stupid and soggy.

Like Art Bell, he's not afraid to ask the skeptical questions every now and then, and he doesn't treat his audience like a bunch of total morons. Noory is the absolute worst and has been since day one.

the one who crayoned their book for them & harps on the North American Union.

I e-mailed NOORY about the wingnuttiness and his pal, as have other DUers, and he replied with a snarky denial.

I think he knows he is inadequate in BELL's shoes, though I doubt BELL was a Lib.

Thanks for noticing the topic and posting a thread about it.

And maybe Whitley Streiber.

Noory has become quite the right winger over the years. In Chicago they've cut the show 2 hours to allow a couple of moroons on to spew nut talk.

This week they have George Knapp talking to David Kupelian, managing editor of WorldNetDaily.

World Nut Daily? They're wasting George Knapp by making him talk to him? What for?

Noory is narrow-minded and cutting off Linda Howe was low. The weekend guy, Ian Punnett, is even worse. Two weeks ago, he spent a WHOLE show on the behavior of hoarding (it was on a show on some cable station) and bitched about his wife's hoarding behavior. I turned it off and was so pissed off. These guys are just poseurs. Art Bell was the one and only. I often wonder why he was run off.

The man's a RW flack. He's always spinning things in terms of RW ideology.

I like my tinfoil-hattery strictly bi-partisan, thank you very much.

I believed none of it, but it was great entertainment. With George, it stopped being entertaining. It's drek.

Turn it off.

be fall down tired in the morning, but it was great fun. Especially when the new pictures of the Mars face came out, oh boy! :D

He has simply destroyed it altogether.

The show has been a godsend, previously, for anyone who's an insomniac. It was entertaining, and I LOVED hearing that man who called in to tell Art how devil-possessed and ungodly everyone was. He was hilarious.

Noory seems to believe he will be there until he dies of old age. That would be such a misuse of that airspace and time.

You are right, Linda would be excellent as the proper host. She's willing to exert herself, not just sit there, scratching and belching while a parade of filthy liars and right-wing lunatics slithers past.

Guy riding around in a truck called in. Apparently the anti-Christ is coming from below the Mason-Dixon line. ;)

God I miss Art. :(

It really showcased their total inflexibility and lack of imagination when stupid people called the show claiming to be visiting from hundreds or thousands of years in the future.

Anti-Christ calls were top drawer.

It was so thrilling to hear former military psychic program officer Ed Dames telling of all the many ways the world was going to go to hell in a handbasket in the near future. I was most a-skeered of the news the jet stream will sink until it's right on the surface of the earth, and it will go 450 miles per hour, rendering it impossible to grow any crops and raise any food. :scared:

Noory's going Beck.

Leaning to the Right too? Seems to me, I loved to listen to his weird stuff, but when he started to talk politics, I would go to another station.

He was of a libertarian bent, I believe, but it was hard to tell most nights. George oozes tea.

WHERE ARE THE SPACESHIPS?

The truth is out there!

(I miss my radio X-files) :(

vs Art, who provided a place for all sorts of weirdos.

I mean, where else can you learn about shape-shifting boyfriends? it used to be fun stuff for insomniacs.

Now it's just more hate and I stopped listening. Enough of that shit...

aka Doug Smith, founder of the Church of the SubGenius and writer of "High Weirdness by Mail". I learned about the wonderfulness that is Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castille Soap from that book! :D



Rev. Stang


He could even enlist "Kooks" writer Donna Kossy as a fill-in host :)

I mean I know the guy is nutz, just didn't know about his politics.

the book upon which the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" was based.

They are stridently NOT "anti-climate change" wing nuts. They are their own, special, bump-in-the-night brand of wing nuts, and I love 'em for it :)

I got into an angry email exchange with Noory. Of course, it may not have been George but he claimed it was. It was a Thursday night about 3 months ago. Hour before he went on. He had Gerome Corsi, the C2C political "expert" on.He has people from Newsmax on and Worldnetdaily all the time. I asked him why he is not more fair and have a liberal on once in a while. He insisted he had no idea what I was talking about.He said his show does not get political and is fair. I recited numerous examples.He replied with very short answers. Usually 2 or 3 sentences long, but he would email me back almost within seconds after I emailed him.

I have brought this subject up before here and have encouraged others to contact his sponsors. Ian and George Knapp are the best. George Knapp one night had a few minutes of open calls. A caller phoned in bitching about Obama and George Knapp cut him off. He said we do not discuss politics. He then paused and said,'well not when I am hosting anyway'. It was great. Art Bell was the best and I have no idea why he retired. First he said it was because of his back, but he never mentions that anymore. No reason why Art can not do a few nights a week.

Anymore, I listen to Mysterious Universe. It is much better than C2C and Ben and Aaron on MU often mock C2C and DO NOT get political at all. Of curse, their show comes out of Australia and it's a podcast,but it is way better than C2C.Linda Moulton Howe is great and I wish she would host. Noory needs to drop his politics and his boss needs to know how angry his listeners are.

why should I pay to listen to biased Fox news. They stopped running the news on streamlink.

I then wrote to him again a couple of years later and complained about how he had Corsi on and Corsi was a rightwing stoodge and a warmonger. Noory wrote back with a terse reply that Corsi wasn't. I wrote back citing why I thought so, and never got a reply.

Art is pretty cool and I know it started with his back but I would love him to come back. It isn't easy for him though as transmission from the Philippines can be touch and go.

As to Linda, although she's good, I find her voice to boring and she always puts me to sleep within minutes. :) Maybe that would be a good thing! :rofl: George Knapp is good too.

Coast to Coast AM is brought to you by the conservative clear channel.......

As to Mysterious Universe? I've never heard of it and will give it a chance. Thanks! :hi:

I never listened again.

to see the following he has here.

George Knapp and Ian Punnett are wonderful. Noory, while a good *broadcaster* in the broadest sense, doesn't have the intellectual capacity or curiosity to work with the material. not that AB did, either. But, at least AB didn't bring politics into it. i listen to this stuff to unplug from politics, and i sure as hell don't like being assaulted with right wingery while i'm trying to enjoy my fortean nuttery.

George devoted an entire show to the power of prayer. He had his audience pray for someone or something for the entire 4 hours. COuple years ago there was a hoax where a guy bought a gorilla costume and had it frozen in his deep freeze. Guy claimed he caught an actual bigfoot and had it in his freezer. Was going to take a bout 2 or 3 days to thaw and that it was real. Even the most gullible listeners could tell it was a hoax and nothing more than a costume. Not George.He posted pictures and speculated at what an important find it was. Once it was proven to be a hoax he briefly talked about it and said it was "one of the better hoaxes out there". LOL! George does not hide his politics. He is constantly having critics of Obama on and even has spent time with birthers making their case. NEVER once has he had someone on discussing the opposite side. He uses FOx news as his source to stories as well as News Max and World Net Daily and The Washington Times and New York Post and Drudge.Like I said, his sponsors need to be contacted and his station manager. Hell, I'd even start up a Facebook page if I thought enough people would join.I use to work 3rd shift and the show was entertaining and fun.

like, if i listen to the Moth broadcast (storytelling slams) i will find myself so wrapped-up that i can't concentrate on work. same with Moyers and Democracy Now. with C2C i can sort of tune in and tune out, making little mental notes of things i'll look up later. it's relaxing.

anywho, back on point, my take on Noory is that he wants to appeal to the masses, and while he has a decent take on this as a broadcaster, i.e. take things slow, let the guest speak, unpack jargon, etc., he goes astray in his qualitative take on "mass appeal" which is to hoist dominant paradigms onto his shoulders and parade them around to the cheering crowds. he's completely non-critical, AND he gravitates to subject matter that's unchallenging (such as the prayer show).

he's like the affable uncle who thinks he's being non-controversial while parroting FOX news talking points -- assuming that everyone in the room shares his narrow political worldview. he 's unaware that his viewpoint is narrow, rather than "mass-appealing."

i think a FB group is a wonderful idea and i'd certainly join.

I am also a streamlink member. George often has to find guests at the last minute. In case you are wondering, the nights he has open lines means he can't find a guest. He has regulars like that crazy old coot Richard Hoagland(this guy is NUTS!)or his experts like Corsi and a few other right wing stooges.I have been thinking about dropping my streamlink membership. I've discovered that his shows appear on youtube about 2 or 3 days after a broadcasts. Some subscribers load his entire show everyday. Just type in the guest or George's name. I am seriously considering canceling my membership for this reason alone.His politics are getting worse. Not sure how many go to his site,but he advertises Corsi's books,Newsmax,Sean Hanity's site,etc. What is frustrating is how George denies he gets into politics and steers clear of political topics and then has Corsi on and reports a story on Drudge,Newsmax,World Net Daily, or Fox.

Jeez!
