A few days ago I heard Chris Core on the radio hawking replacement windows. I had forgotten about that guy.

Does anybody miss him? I usually doubted his sincerity when he'd raise an issue on his morning radio call-in show. His passion seemed fake to me.

I grew up listening to Chris in the afternoon on WMAL. I do miss him, although he does have a commentary every day on WTOP, called "Core Values"

He knew how to ask a question and take an answer with a semblance of class. I agreed with him on the immigration issue, but his show became a repetetive one-note bore.

Pulling Chris Core off the air was just like pulling your finger out of a glass of water. Once it's gone you can't tell it was ever there. When one right-wing douchebag goes off the air a thousand others are ready to fill the empty space.

But that's an aspect of my point. Prior to the ascendency of right-wing talk radio, he was about as milquetoastian as one could get ... and he was employed by WMAL for a long time. I'm not sure he was a right-wing partisan, although he played one on the radio.

Exactly, Randal Bloomquist, the same idiot station manager that bought us Michael Graham, forced Chris to become a right wing talker in order to build a solid conservative flagship station around Rush limbaugh. It failed miserably, and Randal went to Atlanta. Now, the station is in shambles, ratings have tanked, most sales people and managers have left, there is only one local daypart, and other national personalities like Mark Levin, Curtis Silwa, and Sean Hannity, have destroyed the stations credibility in this town. Good riddence to WMAL.

Also Chris Core has public affairs show on channel 50.

I thought he talked too much and seemed to play devil's advocate on just about everything anyone said.

The absolute worst though is Sean Hannity. I'm conservative, but I cannot stand his TV or radio shows. He sounds dumb, incredibly full of himself ("your a true patriot"), and trying to top every comment made on his show. He also frequently resorts to bully tactics and cackles at people. A discussion does not have to be a confrontation every time.

Obviously you don't listen to WTOP much. He's all over the air selling whatever crap someone will give him a dollar or two to shill!

How can we miss him if he doesn't fucking go away?

You forgot, "the great American Pannel' that is chalk full of "great Americans" like ollie North and Dick Morris.

I hear his shit on WTOP all of the time. His commentary is basically a thinly veiled excuse to run an ad. His stuff sucks.

I don't like anyone who distorts the truth to try to make a point. It is intellectual laziness. People who do this frequently include:

Sean Hannity
Glenn Beck
Bill O'Reilly
Lou Dobbs
Michael Moore
Keith Olbermann
Rachel Maddow


If you can't make your point with the facts, who the fuck needs you?

Didn't Chris Core bang Freda? I remember that used to be joked about on the D&M Show.

I do miss Chris. I met him twice in the metro bathrooms. Good gosh golly, the guy could suck a grapefruit through a garden hose. Truly talented sweetie.

I feel like this applies to Mark Levin more than anyone. Every time I scan past WMAL from 6-9 (or whenever exactly he's on) he is yelling and calling Democrats and moderate Republicans by some not-so-clever playground nickname. I swear he's going to have an on-air heart attack. It can't be pleasant going through life this angry.

I feel like Maddow is at least somewhat genuine compared to the others on the list, or at least she has the most pleasant delivery. But I can't watch it because it's so one-sided. But I do agree that Olbermann is basically just an O'Reilly of the other side of the aisle.

I agree Maddow at least makes sense while opinionated. Rush is off the deep end shock jock now and worthless.

My problem with Maddow is that she is a cheerleader, almost as much as Olbermann. What I like about someone like Joe Scarborough and, to a much lesser degree, Chris Matthews, is that they occasionally go against the grain of their parties. (Yes, Matthews goes overboard the other way as well).

Maddow, though, appears to be incapable of analyzing an issue from both sides. I find that as irritating as watching Sean Hannity blow off the facts to try to sell an ill-conceived point.

It's too bad that whipping people into a frenzy and being partisan sells much more than attempts at objectivity and critical thinking.

You haven't watched her enough. Maddow has no problem critizing Obama when she disagrees with him, and has done so lots of times. She was quite critical of him for allowing Rick Warren to speak at the inauguration, has critized him for appearing to pull back from the public option, etc. I find Olberman entertaining but he is most definitely a left-wing version of the Fox hosts. Maddow is opinionated but smart and independent. She's no shill.

So she criticizes Obama for not being enough of a Democrat?

Well she has the luxury of being able to have opinions without actually having to govern.

Dr. Maddow ripped Tom Ridge a new one last night. Dr. Maddow ripped Dick Armey so bad last month he was fired from his job the very next day. Then she appeared with him on Meet the Press. After a few minutes and a few pointed remarks by Dr. Maddow, Mr. Armey just stopped answering questions. He lost another business affiliation the very next day.

Dr. Maddow does what you call "research" and identifies BS when BS is uttered.
There is a lot of BS out there, and we can thank Rachel for sorting through it and calling people on it.

She only researches and ids conservative BS. Same goes for Olberman.

That is not true; it just appears that way because there is so much more Republican's BS then Democrat's BS. Ever heard of Death pannels, abortion on demand, killing grandma, Republicans, and our veterans? Those are just some of Republican BS from last week.

There is plenty of Democrat BS to call lots of rhetoric to examine critically. For example: That angry town hall patrons are Republican plants, that people opposed to this reform are in the pocket of health care companies, this thing will pay for itself. Even still she could examine the budget deficits that have been generated under this administration (especially since that was one of the heaviest criticisms of the administration over the previous one), if there are any drawbacks to cash for clunkers (putting consumers more in debt, temporary stimulus of the auto industry as opposed to permanent, and deficit implications), and I could probably think of more.

Rachel chows a mean box. Her tongue can hit my G Spot!

Is anyone of these guys Chris Core?

Um, doesn't Fox news and talk radio pretty much take care of all that?

Rachel M is an ass...she has not clue what she is talking about and just
wants ratings....she lies

The point is that if she was balanced and not just biased way to the left she could criticize her party on that stuff.

Chris Core was an arrogant nutjob who expressed as how he himself should be allowed to posess guns secretly, because he was IMPORTANT, but that ordinary people should not have them unless they were willing to have their names and addresses published so that the public would be "protected".

Good Fucking Riddance, Chris Core.
