Charlie Manning v. Michael Goldman on 96.9

Enjoy listening to the banter between Charlie Manning and Michael Goldman filling in today for Michael Graham but why is Manning acting as if it was his show and Michael Goldman was an after thought.
Manning whose nasal voice tends to override the more modulated voice of Goldman but it seems that Michael Goldman has to fight to get anything near equal time at the mic.
Again, it is NOT the Charlie Manning Show with a guest.
 
I noticed Graham was filling in for Severin last week; who filled in for Graham (or did he do double duty?)
btw one of the papers, Globe I think, was hinting that Barnicle's 4 hour shift will most likely be permanent
though the search was on for a co-host. Not sure if Bernie McGuirk would be considered; yes, he's probably
pals with Mike (McG worked for Imus of course) but Paula O'Connor, who championed him, is now gone...

Hello, who are these guys? Never heard of 'em.

::)
 
Manning=Republican consultant and former Boston Herald wrestling Guru.
Goldman=Democratic consultant.
They are a nice change of pace from time to time.
 
Like Charlie but he always thinks it is HIS show alone and actually the Republicrat and Willard Romney spokesman doesn't have that much new to say. Same gar barge defending the bozo in the whitehouse.

I caught a promo announcing that WTKK would be carrying two debates among the presidential candidates in the next few weeks--one among the 10 Republicans; the other among the eight Dems. I found it interesting and disturbing, but not surprising that Greater Media is having two Righties (Severin and Graham) critique the Republican debate but will have Eagan and Braude AND Severin to critique the Dem debate. That plus management's obvious feeling that they could not have Goldman on without Manning but can have any Rightie they choose on alone says it all about Greater Media. That position is insulting to Democrats--especially in view of the fact that we represent the overwhelming majority of voters in Mass and RI and a smaller majority (though now a majority, nevertheless) in southern NH.

Disturbing? Heck, you must just about have a heart attack when some dem hack like Chris Matthews is moderating a television debate. Curiously, the consensus is that Hume and Wallace actually did the best job on the television debates, and they were pretty hard on the Republicans, when everyone, pre-debate, opined that they (FOX) were going into the tank.

but not surprising that Greater Media is having two Righties (Severin and Graham) critique the Republican debate but will have Eagan and Braude AND Severin to critique the Dem debate.

Well, Severin is their million dollar baby, and they're going to give him as much exposure as they can. Plus, he supposedly is a professional politico. I haven't listened to their political coverage recently, but WBZ radio always used to go with Peter Meade (a good guy but a partisan Democrat through and through) and LaPierre (supposedly neutral) for election and debate analysis. Occasionally, they'd add Brudnoy to the mix, but he was pretty much a wild-card, and could be slamming both sides.

As long as you know where these folks are coming from up front, what's the big deal? Nobody on that WTKK line-up is pretending to be anything other than what they are. Sometimes you just have to use your own BS filter and think for yourself.

And, I'd get used to Severin being a constant part of WTKK's political coverage. That's one of there reasons he's there.

That plus management's obvious feeling that they could not have Goldman on without Manning

Well, if you've ever heard Goldman on solo, you'd put someone else along side him, too.
Manning is just better on the radio.

but can have any Rightie they choose on alone says it all about Greater Media. That position is insulting to Democrats--especially in view of the fact that we represent the overwhelming majority of voters in Mass

56% isn't exactly overwhelming, but it is certainly a majority. OTOH. they certainly don't seem to have a problem crossing lines and usually putting Repubs in the corner office.
