Radio Eq.: CBS hopes to fool listeners with "Severin"

"With newly syndicated "libertarian/libertine" (read: anti-Bush quasi-liberal) host Jay Severin (real name: Jimmy Severino) still leading the pack, many controversies emanate from just a small number of questionable personalities.

"Even after exposes by the Boston-area news media on Sag Harbor, New York-based Severin's wild claims of winning a Pulitzer Prize for "online journalism" and other highly questionable assertions, CBS still went ahead with plans to take him national."<P ID="signature">______________

Oh PLEASE... Jay Severin is -N O T- a liberal. Libertarians are closer to the GOP than they are to the Democrats. Just because someone is against this president does not mean they are liberal, just intelligent.

:)

He's also a flake by the way. We wouldn't want him. The Unequalizer needs to get back on his meds. Anyone who writes this kind of garbage isn't all there. Next we're going to hear that Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough are having a secret LIBERAL affair.

As a registered Libertarian, I'm a little offended by that. The current GOP theocratic/neo-con/Big Oil-based platform has nothing to do with our ideals aside from the occasional bit of lip service. Ending the pointless drug war, protecting our national parks and forests by handing them over to organizations that won't sell them in bits to the highest bidder, ending foreign aid to dictators that we end up having to kill 20 years later, supporting freedom of speech without qualifiers, protecting the right to privacy in one's own home...those are Republican positions?

At least Severin is entertaining even if he's a complete phony. Most libtalkers can only barely manage that. And I thought Maloney liked Tucker "The Bowtie From Hell" Carlson and Joe "I Left Congress In Disgrace And Got My Own TV Show In The Deal" Scarborough.

And I am astonished about the number of ignorant people who think that a "libertarian" somehow connected to being a "liberal".

A libertarian believes in a very limited government.

Also, "Republican" and "conservative", or "Democrat" and "liberal" often do not corrolate.

Republicans and Democrats are members of political parties with agendas. The terms conservative, liberal, moderate, etc. describe one's ideology and attitudes toward relationships between individuals, society and government, and often an individual may be more conservative in some areas and more liberal in others.

A Libertarian, on the other hand, is a member of a political party which has specific platforms regarding personal liberties and the role of government.
 
Re: Jay Severin is Not a Liberal

Exactly...I am an "Unenrolled" in Mass., not beholden to any
political party. Most of my views are conservative but some
are liberal/moderate. If there were more Dems like Lieberman or
Zell Miller, I'd be more enthusiastic about that party.

There are <a href="http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/questionnaire.php"> online tests </a> you can take to decide where you are on the
axes (pl. of axis, IIRC) of "authoritarian/libertarian" and
"left"/"right" and I was a lot more centrist than
some would think (where my "dot" wound up)

(from that site: "We note too that conservative Democrats tend to have more in common with Republicans than with the liberals within their own ranks.")

Re: Jay Severin is Not a Liberal

Brian Maloney of Radio Equalizer (not to be confused with Al
Franken, Radio Tranquilizer--sorry, couldn't resist!) says in
one of his latest blog bits:

"ALSO: there's a false, but lingering sentiment that Severin is at least nominally conservative on the air. My point is that he's increasingly trying to be all things to all people, which comes across as phony, hence his new "radical independent" label."

(shocked) The Sage of Sag Harbor a flake! (ha :) ) Well at least he
might be interesting to hear to see where he'll go next with his
opinions, and let's not forget the man won a couple Pulitzer
prizes ( :) )

We wouldn't want him. The

Re: feedback to Maloney's Radio Equalizer web site

This thread has very little to do with the business of talk radio. There's an "off the air" board for these sorts of discussions. In addition, Maloney provides comment boxes for each article on his web site. <P ID="signature">______________

Jay Severin's Name

Disclaimer: I've never heard Mr. Severin.

But what's the big deal if his legal name is "James Severino"? So he dropped the "O" and adopted "Jay" as a first name.

For crying out loud, Brian Maloney's been in radio long enough to know that half the people in the business don't use their real names. What's Salem syndicated talker Mike Gallagher's legal name? (I used to know, and forgot...) How about WOR Radio Network nighttime host "Lionel"? Or TRN's Michael "Savage"? (That one is well known...)

Even Rush Limbaugh was once "Jeff Christie", back in his days as a music jock ages ago.

The other stuff (fudged bio, etc.) is an entirely different matter. But by making a big deal about "Jimmy Severino", Brian's looking like the guy who was shocked to find out that there was gambling in that establishment. (No, that's not a Bill Bennett joke, but it could be!)

Re: Jay Severin's Name

Maybe so but we like pulling his chain. When he stops claiming Pulitzer
Prizes that aren't his, etc., maybe we'll give him some slack. As it is,
his flip-flopping, truth-stretching, and pompous voice remind me too much about
a certain Presidential candidate who I hope, I HOPE will run again in
2008 (so we can pull HIS chain some more).

He's Jay Severin and he's...reporting for duty! :) (If Jay had
come clean about the Pulitzers right away, maybe we wouldn't be
talking about it now. Just as if you-know-who had come out strongly
against the Swift Boat guys, instead of ignoring it, maybe he'd be living at 1600 Pennyslvania
Ave. now and not at one of his 5 mansions.)
Oh, and
I guess Jay's show will, like the former WTKK show, be called
Extreme Games and not Jay Severin Has Issues.

Re: Jay Severin is Not a Liberal

OMG, hell is freezing. I agree with you. Jay Severin isn't a liberal. I only heard him once or twice. But....

Neither is Bill O'Reilly a conservative. No, he's not a liberal either. I don't know what he is besides irritating.

Flat-top Severino

I can get past the name change, but not the lying about the accolades. He does misrepresent himself as a swinging single when he is in fact married with children, but he has good insults so they should keep him around. Not only does he take Hilary Clinton to task, but on one occasion, he had a really good burn on Barney Frank: "[he's] so far to left you can't see him, and when he's not that far off, you can't see him 'cuz he's bent over." That's good stuff. He's also his own biggest fan, which gets old really fast.
