Jay Severin Can Dish It Out But Cannot Take It !

C

Casablanca

Guest
Interesting to hear Jay Severin rant most of the day about the Steve Bailey "Business Column" which Severin calls a "Gossip Column" for picking on him.

Poor boy :(

The bully is now getting sand kicked in his face that he kicks in others on a daily basis and he goes crying to his audience that it is some sort of Boston Globe conspiracy that the Globe is always picking on him and doesn't like him.

Boo-hoo !!

Grow up Jay or get off the radio. Your performance today was totally unprofessional which assumes you were ever a professional.
 
I thought he handled it professionally by not naming names.

This is the same Steve Bailey who admitted (on Finneran's morning show) to committing a felony by doing a straw purchase of a firearm. I guess he is in good company with Finneran ;D
 
If J.S. had to withstand the scrutiny he demands of people he doesn't like they would have run him out of town earlier this year.

Severino was absolutely loathsome tonight - so much so that I had to tune out. He was on his anti-Hillary crusade "cackle voice, she's a witch, blah blah blah"

She also is very popular. Don't these whacko right-wing nut jobs (masquerading as independents or libertarians) get it? That the Rush/Hannity/O'Reilly shtick is just a bunch of white noise when kids are dying in Iraq for no reason.

(watch for a bunch of right wingers to go off-topic and attack the messenger on the facts about the Iraq war when the subject matter is Jay Severin dishing it out but not being able to take it).
 
Yes, as Severin might say of anyone he dislikes, ' Jay is acting like a "sissy boy with no b**ls".'

For a flaming liberal, you sure are full of lots of hate for people.
 
I usually don't listen to Severin except maybe for a minute or so. As I noted on Fri (I tuned in
just because of this, because I was curious) he dodged the Bailey column issue...but I guess
he did it today, eh! (And Fri. wasn't a rerun to the best of my knowledge). This sounds like
other times when the Globe (or another paper, etc.) attacked him and he responds by
calling writers things like "Scat He-Lies". He also took issue with Dan Kennedy over one
column he did, and with the Globe's Clea Simon ("Jay Severin is not a racist, he says" is
how her article began.)

>> For a flaming liberal, you sure are full of lots of hate for people.

Just remember, liberals never express hate or intolerance, they never name call, and they are
always right. Never are hypocrites... :)
(I hope I'm not the first to note that there are liars, cheats, dummies, the ethically-challenged,
etc. on BOTH sides.)

And speaking of Hillary, etc., some have wondered if someone like Jay could wind up on a station
like WBZ with what he has said about her: Can you picture a talk host who refers to someone as having a fat derriere as he does...?
Could you picture someone like Howie on WBZ for that matter? Not really--they try to stay
away from that stuff (and I _like_ Howie and his humor/nicknames aka namecalling for people, etc.)

When you get right down to it, how many hosts on either side are able to take criticism?

If you hate Severin so much, why do you listen to his show every day?

that is the age old question. I love Severin, but Casablanca surely listens to him more than I do. What is up with THAT?
 
If there is a choice to be "Annoyed", as The Dean used to say, by Severin or be put to sleep by Todd Feinburg is there any question?
All those extraneous issues do not cloud the fact that Jay Severin is a typical school yard bully who cries when challenged by someone bigger, and stronger.

Gerald Jacoby also used to say "I gotta get out of the business!!!"

"Time for the Gerald Jacoby Storm Window and Door Company"
 
This is not a debate over liberal vs. conservative, this is a commentary on Jay Severin's inability to take criticism.

Notice how I predicted someone would attack the messenger and take it off-topic. NHRonin and Mr. Raccoon are diminishing an important topic when they write this stuff:

NHRonin
">> For a flaming liberal, you sure are full of lots of hate for people.

RACCOON
Just remember, liberals never express hate or intolerance, they never name call, and they are
always right. Never are hypocrites... (I hope I'm not the first to note that there are liars, cheats, dummies, the ethically-challenged, etc. on BOTH sides.)"

Bob Raccoon's "independence" is hardly that when the topic is Jay Severin not delivering a good radio product, and not even able to take a few justified comments about his positions built on sand.

with the tide coming in.

Who listens to these people?

I'm sorry, I guess you missed the part where you typed this:

Sounds kind of hateful to me.
 
What's wrong with me saying there are fakes, liars, cheats, crooks, etc., on both sides and being a bit
sarcastic about it (i.e., libs--and conservatives do this too--who basically say that their side
is always right and never has cheats, crooks, etc. I acknowledge you get it on both sides, folks.)

As for Jay well he's Mr. Perfect and he won't bother to look at himself and take a beating once in awhile
if well deserved (i.e., his email to Emily).
"Look, I went off the handle when she didn't invite me. I had no idea it was unintentional. I do wish her
well and I'm sorry if things didn't work out for her here at WTKK...I mean, I'm sorry I got her pulled
off the station...I mean..."

Trying to picture Jay saying that. Or is it just more untruths from the "Scat He-Lies" writers next door
at the Boston Globe-Democrat? :)

>>whacko right-wing nut jobs

Because of course we know there are no whacko LEFT wing nut jobs :) But I don't wanna be hateful 8)
 
raccoon, you paint with a very broad brush and rarely back up your rants with facts.

Fact is, Jay Severin is thin-skinned.

Fact is, you can't paint Cindy Sheehan with the broad brush you paint Anne Coulter with. Sheehan lost a son to an insane war, Coulter attacks 9/11 wives.

your logic is absent here. call me "hateful" all you want, that proves my point.
Going after the messenger means you don't have to logically discuss Jay Severin's lack of decorum. his inability to take a few barbs when all he does is dish 'em out with no facts, just his hyperbole. Makes one glad there is something like Pandora.com for people who want to hear something they can identify with - like good music. Too bad the public airwaves have been hijacked.
 
So Severin can dish it but not take it. So what?

I don't see anyone saying he can take it. But it's funny to listen to him dish it out. That is why people listen to his radio show -- to be entertained along with hearing a discussion. What do you expect him to say? "I sent an e-mail to my friend Emily Rooney and the wonderful well-researched journalists at my favorite paper, the Boston Globe, wrote a fabulous article about how I'm such a courageous person" ???

Fact is, those first two alleged facts are opinions. Raccoon didn't call anyone hateful, he pointed up what he saw as (I hope I'm not putting words in his mouth) a hypocritical argument.

If one does not want to listen to so-called hyperbole, one can change the station.

I checked out Pandora after reading the earlier post. VERY cool site, thanks for the tip.

The public airwaves fall in the domain of National Public Radio and other listener-supported outlets. Jay Severin is on a commercial station. In theory, the public owns the airwaves, but broadcast licensees pay a pretty penny for the privelege, and sell ad time to (hopefully) make that money back, and then some.
