Boortz blamed the parents of the quarterback at Brookwood for his death. Boortz called the Virginia students who were massacred cowards. Do you people enjoy this?

I don’t think Boortz should have said it, but what’s your point? What exactly do you want? Do you want to call all his advertisers and demand he be fired?

Give me a break. Lighten up people.

The Brookwood kid, was that the one that was drinking and not wearing seatbelts? Should we raise a monument to an idiot?
 
These parents lost their kid, and Boortz blames them on the air? That’s pretty cold if you ask me. I don‘t think he should have said it, but I don't think he should be fired.

Boortz can slam grieving parents but “shock jocks” get fired for throwaway one liners? This is messed up.
 
However, it doesn't bother him that his employer can't tell the difference in 'Attitude' and 'Altitude' or 'Magnetic compass' and 'Gryo Compass' when misreporting a plane crash. His paper got it right, but who reads the paper? Both WSB-AM and Ch 2 made the transposition and mistake. Figure his credence as about the same as any other entertainer out of his element.
 
Hi Schtick is so old and tired. Haven't listened to him more than a minute here & there since Laura Ingraham came on in Atlanta.
 
I'm sorry. Boar-tz is still on the air? :-\ He hasn't been on my tuner in years.

give 1340/1230 supertalk a try. the imaging will drive you nuts, but I 'm beggining to warm to Dennis Miller ( 10-1 ). The signal is strong, and if you can get past the promos and psa's, it's pretty good. He runs his show like Mike Rose used to : guests, guests and guests, and he plays the mediator. He gets some good ones, though, and he doesn't scream over callers that disagree.

they have the best sunday talk line up with Swim or Die and Frank and Joe

Hell, if Dickie could pony up for a am show, and simulcast BnK on the drive home, it could take over GST. ;)
 
I agree that 1340/1230 supertalk could overtake GST with an AM show but who could do it? This is a lot easier said than done. 1340/1230 supertalk with local programming could become a contender but is there any local talent out there without having to go on a national search?

pair Eric Von Hessler with David Paul for a left vs right am show.

hilarity ensues. ;)

'course this would require Dickie to pay out some $$$$. Which means we will be stuck with CNN for the am.
 
Boortz was absolutely right, and I'm so glad someone has the balls to say it.

We have raised a nation of irresponsible wimps that drive drunk and stand by while their classmates are murdered. Put the blame where it's due. I hate to say it, but it sounds like natural selection to me.
