George Norry should be fired

W

westfield60

Last night George Norry was promoting the idea that a student that vanished 6 months ago could be behind these bombings. Without a single shred of evidence he was spreading this malicious and horrible theory. Can you imagine the pain this poor missing boy's parents must have felt. It is so immoral and so cruel beyond proportions.

George is Iranian. The next time Iran threatens someone, I think George should be strip searched and locked up somewhere? Isn't that fair game?
 
Obviously, this show has lost its original audience and ol' GN has probably been put on notice by Premiere.... "get the ratings UP or you're OUT!!"
 
Do you think a petition asking Art Bell to return, would help?

What happened to Noury doing his show from Hawaii? He said they were building a studio for him, there.

Saying George is "Iranian" is like saying I am Irish.

George is of Lebanese heritage. He was born in Detroit. He's not Lebanese, he's not Iranian.
 
Glad it's not just me.

Allow me to quote myself from a similar thread I started in the News/Talk forum:

...now the show is just a jumbled mess of contradiction, fear mongering and flat out baloney.

In the midst of it all is one George Ralph Noory, who seems, most nights, if not wildly bored, than just simply in over his head.

Noory will ask the same question of the same guest repeatedly during an interview and turns most every topic into a movie analogy or an episode of The Twilight Zone. And last night, during an open lines sessions, conducted the most bizarre interview of a 20 year old blind man who called in to talk about rude people; evidently Noory had a bad experience with a woman while in line at the post office that day. Whatever.

Anyway, Noory asked this guy the weirdest, most inappropriate questions -- if he was capable of copulation, and if so, is his partner also blind. Then he asked which of the caller's other senses would he be willing to give up. Huh?! Then he asked if the caller, just by the sound of Noory's voice, could describe Noory. Where the hell did THAT come from?

If only that was a one time thing. Increasingly, Noory's on-air performance is just one big mystery, spawning questions such as 'How did this guy get hired to helm a network talk show?' and 'Just what the hell is Carnivora?' Hucksters abound overnight, with Noory leading the charge to sell as much snake oil and backyard bunkers as possible.

Some news accounts say there is possibly a cell with 12 people or something, so to say others might be involved is not unreasonable.

But to pick out this one kid, a Brown U student missing for a month, and to basically say that he is involved, is irresponsible and ridiculous. The next night, Noory played the conquering hero, like he broke the case wide open.

George Noory is an idiot.
 
For cryin' out loud -- there's an expectation that media has "responsibility" to the public? That's soooo 20th century.

Today's radio/tv/web is nothing more than John Stuart Mill's "Marketplace of Ideas." Truth tellers will succeed. Liars will eventually lose their credibility and (over time) their audience. It's as simple as that. Like a bad Twitter account, eventually people will stop following it.

Running to a paternalist figure (FCC, Clear Channel bosses) seems kind of silly to me.

An idiot who's been doing the show for 10 years now, has something like 550 affiliates and probably makes a seven-figure income from his idiocy. Wish I could be that dumb.
 
George Noory sucks! I think Clyde Lewis of Ground Zero should succeed him on C2C.

So you're just dumb without all that other stuff? Clearly you don't listen to this show. Coast To Coast AM was already a long-running show when Noory showed up -- and I doubt very seriously Premier is paying this doofus seven figures. By the way, in America, many idiots fail up.

All that proves is that there are a number of other idiots who make his version of rant radio possible.

Your income and wealth are only two indicators of your personal worth as a human. But they are not the only two.

I've never listened to Noory, but after 10 years, it's probably safe to say he's no longer hanging on to Art Bell's coattails. Art and I worked together in the early 70's and he was smart enough to take his extreme weirdness to new heights: Noory is successful at ticking off enough people to keep his name alive and and his self on the air in what really is a nice-paying job, even if it is not seven figures as is often speculated. In a downsized radio business, he's survivor and his act has worked.
 
I personally cannot believe we are still talking about this guy...OH WAIT!! Maybe that is how he DOES stay on. We ARE talking about him. But maybe we should not worry, because guys that people love to hate are always the first to go...let see we have Joe Pyne, Alex Bennett, Alex Jones, Michael Savage, Mike Malloy etc...oh wait!

If you haven't listened then you truly are uninformed. Noory clings to Bell's tattered coattails ten years later. Pathetic.
 
No, "truth tellers" don't succeed. It's not truth that gets fans and ratings, it's salaciousness, anger and "reality show" reality. Blood, ignorance, paranoia and sex win.
 
It doesn't bother me much. I heard a report on Rachel Maddow about a triple murder of some people might be linked to the Boston suspects. So maybe there is more to the story and other crimes and people involved. I am not a Noori fan but I will keep an open mind.

at the risk of getting off topic,,,
(With the chaotic reporting, I am sure there will be many conspiracy theories. Given some past deaths of certain Russians, would it be beyond belief that an agent provocateur backed people to commit terrorist acts to discredit Chechen "rebels?")
 
Now Glen Beck has some "theory" this will go on for ever in the talk radio world, Jones, Noori, Beck etc. a new topic.
