He still has not come to terms with the fact he is out of the game, & is lashing out, trying to be relevent. I think I spotted him in the entryway at a Wal-Mart on the missing persons board. All kidding aside, Press is like so many "progressive" talkers, who know damn well they cannot compete in the free market, & they feel the need for their friends in gov't to rig the game. The "Fairness Doctrine" or "Localism" are ideas that speak to this. It's bad enough the taxpayer has to prop up state run radio in the form of NPR, but to support regulations that mandate what can be said & by who is un-American. I'm not suprised that this always comes from "liberal/progressive" types.danybhoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180226403686462298.post-37840819582275094172011-02-01T22:32:20.139-06:002011-02-01T22:32:20.139-06:00Anonymous...

If they're going to can Press from the Mic, they ought to find someone to replace him with, perhaps a local personality. But replacing him with a Wall Street program makes little sense, given that most listeners probably have no interest at all in listening to such a program.Chris Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820378069472929510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180226403686462298.post-62255748876955756272011-02-01T16:46:36.211-06:002011-02-01T16:46:36.211-06:00I e-mailed Tim Scott and congratulated him on remo...I e-mailed Tim Scott and congratulated him on removing dead weight from his station. I have listened to Bill Press for months and can only come up with this inescapable conclusion: He is full of hate, hypocrisy, and hot air. He just recently commented about the recent federal judge ruling that declared Obamacare unconstitutional by calling the judges a bunch of idiots. He sings the praises of hate-mongers and filth-spewers like Mike Malloy and Randi "Kill Bush" Rhodes and then has the hypocrisy to proclaim in his book "Toxic Talk" that they don't spew hate. That is a lie. He called one caller a liar after that caller correctly pointed out that there were numerous "Kill Bush" protests signs during the Bush presidency. And now he's going to throw a temper tantrum because a station is getting rid of his worthless show? Whaah!
