I remember when Zacherley was a free form rock disc jockey here from New York. He would do the ghoul routine every Halloween.

she says candidates in the upcoming presidential election will be eager to target audiences in certain states, and Gray is well situated to provide access

Gee, that sounds a lot like she wants to provide the sort of pro quo that just got Bibi indicted.

How much?

You must be a bit younger than I am. At 12, I was a devotee of Chiller Theater with Zacherley and his pet amoeba, Phyllis. Definitely the target demographic. He was clearly the inspiration for Joe Flaherty’s “Count Floyd” on SCTV, doing Monster Chiller Horror Theater.

She owes her entire career to O.J. “Juice” Simpson. Unreal.

90 “local” stations across the country. Right. These aren’t local stations. It’s a national station that masquerades as local to slip their propaganda in more easily. Everyone knows Fox News has a slant. Most Americans assume their local news is still honest. That’s how they getcha.

“She said in an interview Thursday that she believes local stations will become much more influential.”

If true, just another reason Sinclair needs to be destroyed completely.

I’m not going to get too exorcised about this one because I just don’t think she sells well to either the right or the left anymore. She had a loyal audience of people who were already watching Fox and really didn’t have anywhere else to go. Plus, she had built up a following over many years. I very much doubt that she’s going to replicate that or even become someone very many folks will listen to let alone want to watch. This may not even last as long as her MSNBC show.

In the late 70’s he hosted the midday shift on WPLJ where he spun what is now considered to be classic rock. I remember finding out about his prior TV career through reading about it, the other DJ’s and his obituary when he died a few years ago.

She’ll never top Count Floyd.

Continuing the tradition of conservatives and Republicans everywhere ignoring any boundaries between lobbying, propaganda, news, and the media.

Quiz Time, peeps! Is this a picture of Greta Van Susteren or comedian Louis Anderson?

Beeeep! WRONG! You should have known it was Louie, since he is the only one of the two with any talent.
