Michael Savage gets bumped for football

October 17, 2009, 12:09PM

Just a quickie: I noticed yesterday that WOR in New York, considered Michael Savage's flagship station in the east, bumped the Nation's Third Most Popular Liar for ... Rutgers football.

And to top it off, the station substituted Michael Smerconish, who usually isn't on until after Savage, for the blowhard. The conservative commentator was on-site at Rutgers stadium in Piscataway, NJ, doing a pre-game hour.

I thought this was interesting because in the past, WOR has at least presented the first hour or so of Savage, then switched to Rutgers. But this time, the station decided to let another political commentator talk about college football instead.

Remember, WOR some time ago cut the last hour of Savage's program. The station now presents Savage from 6-8 p.m., followed by Smerconish. I guess that's because WOR grew tired of paying for an hour of canned programming.

I'm waiting for the day Savage is bumped for Lady Knights basketball. That will be a hoot.

Keep the faith.

Geez I wish I could read such happy news about rush or sean...

But hell, I just hope this all is extremely painful to this inhumane bag of crap.

Bio

I’m a journalist working at the New Jersey Shore but based in Central New Jersey, where I live with my wife and our dog and cat. During my career, I've been responsible for two pieces of legislation enacted in New Jersey: one that allowed every fire department and fire academy in New Jersey to receive, free, a thermal imaging camera, and the second, which created a searchable Web database through which consumers could research nursing homes and their owners, and have access to reports of violations and other information. My reporting also led to the requirement that Supreme, Superior and Tax Court justices and judges file the same kind of financial disclosure forms as every other elected and appointed official in New Jersey. I was also part of a two-reporter team that exposed massive increases in the cost to close the U.S. Army's Fort Monmouth. I have also written a book, “Savage Lies: The Half-Truths, Distortions and Outright Lies of a Right-Wing Blowhard,” which deconstructs the first three books written by right-wing talk radio host Michael Savage. The book is available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and can be ordered wherever books are sold.
