Audacy carries Gallagher in my market. The cheerleading that’s been going on all year is nauseating and he has no substance, even by current day news/talk standards.

Salem Host Sebastian Gorka Proposed for Trump Administration Job

Absolutely correct. Gallagher's co-dependent relationship with Orange Man keeps him gainfully employed and, at least within the Salem universe, relevant. Otherwise, he would be doing traveling theatre and summer stock full-time.

Gorka can't be taken seriously, IMO, after pitching that pain relief product he says releaves (to quote him) "the sauce of the pain-AHH."
Another is Mike Hucksterbee who pitches all kinds of snake oil and more.
Do these guys really need the money? If so, cash the checks and stay out of politics!

People say they want government run like a business. So the line between the two becomes narrower.
But it's politics that's making them their money. Just another instantiation of the John Brinkley or Norman Baker playbook.
I've heard that Rob Schmitt's ratings are beating CNN.
So I just tuned in and saw a 3-screen split with Hucksterbee on the left, Gorka on the right, and Schmitt in the middle. OMG! Fake news on steroids. These guys will say anything. I tuned right out.
Is Newsmax becoming the MSNBC of the right?

Becoming?
Basically the only advertisers they can attract... too good to be true health products, gold merchants, questionable investment products, and pillows.

What the Hell Happened to Hugh Hewitt?
It's behind a paywall.
Try opening it in private browsing. I got the paywall when I first went to it, then could read it in private browsing.
I could post the article text, but am not sure it's allowed.
That doesn't work for me.
Thank you. I've screenshotted these posts just in case they get taken down.Published Nov. 10 2019 4:54AM EST
Also directly contradicting his excuses for the Trump administration: Hewitt was a leading voice of concern about Obama using his office to target political opponents. On numerous occasions, the radio host lamented the allegations that Obama’s SEC targeted Romney supporters and that the IRS targeted conservative tea party activists. “The IRS got away with murder, and with targeting tea party groups,” Hewitt said at the time. “There has been no justice.”
During the IRS investigation, Hewitt even boosted a column bemoaning that Republicans simply asked questions while Democrats attacked House Oversight Committee then-Chairman Darrell Issa—a nearly mirror image of Republicans’ Trump-era attacks on Rep. Adam Schiff, a top House Democrat chairing the intelligence committee.
And despite the fact that perhaps Hewitt’s most famous moment of the 2016 cycle was his schooling of Trump on the future president’s confusion of the Kurds and Quds Force, the Orange County-based radio host now seems wholly impressed with Trump’s approach to abandoning Kurdish allies in Syria.
“Turkey can’t want a war with Kurds but if it does we can’t be killing Turks with Americans throughout Turkey, our base there,” he recently tweeted. “Some will cast any deal w/ Turkey as @realDonaldTrump getting close w/ a dictator. It’s not. It’s dealing with the realities that we can’t stay forever.”
Indeed, the fact that Hewitt now often seemingly twists himself into pretzels to defend Trump has baffled and frustrated many of his Beltway fans—including elected lawmakers. “[M]y friend Hugh (who I like) makes the case that trading foreign aid for political help is the modern equivalent of the Louisiana Purchase,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) recently remarked on Twitter. “Bold.”
Even NBC anchor Chuck Todd, one of Hewitt’s biggest friends at MSNBC, seemed confused when Hewitt said in September that Hunter Biden should have been under FBI surveillance since at least 2014.
“I don’t—Hugh, I have no—,” the anchor stammered.
“Read the column,” Hewitt replied.
“I have no idea how that is even remotely relatable,” an exasperated Todd said, adding: “But I will read your column.”

Article highlights:
What the Hell Happened to Hugh Hewitt?
When Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016 wanted to reach conservative voters, they decided there was only one person in right-leaning media who’d give them a fair shake: Hugh Hewitt.
According to multiple sources, the Clinton campaign considered playing ball with Hewitt’s radio program because advisers viewed him to be an even-keeled, serious-minded conservative pundit who could have a civilized, intellectual, and issues-focused discussion with the former secretary of state. She eventually appeared on the show in 2017.
Since President Donald Trump took office, it seems, Hewitt has undergone a dramatic political shift mirroring the path of the Republican Party—one that has become increasingly about fealty to the president, above all other values—leaving some of the radio host’s friends dumbfounded.

What does any of that have to do with advertising endorsements?
I haven't seen or heard Hewitt pitching any snake oil. The same can't be said for Gorka, Hucksterbee, Larry Elder, Charlie Kirk and others.
I totally understand radio hosts doing live reads for advertisers on their shows, but anything outside of that ruines their credibility for me.
