		<description>"Vay Cay Jay has been on, well what the hell do you know, permanent VACATION since the election (along with his slide to the left since then as well…he’s as credible as a pathological liar or Bill Clinton…take your pick!)"--Skunky

That's funny.  lol...at least he has stopped with the incessant name calling.  He has changed A LOT.  Seems like he is moving more away from the "shock" jockish persona.  He doesn't say things like "effing" any more, and he has stopped calling Obama racist and a terrorist.  He no longer refers to Hillary as a pig.  Has he just matured?  What gives?</description>

		<description>Does anyone know why Jay's show repeats content during about the 5 0'Clock hour?  I was just listening and I am hearing the same conversation he had earlier with a woman caller on the subject of food stamps.    

I thought the repetition was just a Friday thing, but here it is Thursday, and I have never experienced this before with talk radio.</description>

		<description>julie (staffer),
I guess with ratings as low as they are over there you have time to play here.

Outrage may be a tool of the trade, but it is also a reaction to fraud and corruption.  I don't listen to mcphee, don't care about jay, or D &#38; C.  I enjoyed Jerry Williams, and DePetro was right to stir outrage when the tunnel collapsed.  Like I said this is a target rich environment.  You literally can't do a show where you do not call out somebody padding their bra, decorating their office, STEALING from the tax payers, or exposing the state of the schools.  I challenge you, in this area, to come up with a topic that will NOT spark outrage.  

Clean up corruption, waste, fraud, and rid the airwaves of those that condone and accept these things as normal, and radio will change.  Changing the topics the hosts are allowed to cover or the hosts for that matter is only going to put ratings through the floor.  

Station somebody at the state house, corner the reps and devil patrick, and force them to be accountable for their actions.  Do it live on the air.  (You could find the money for this by showing morning moron the door.)  Don't give them a puff piece where you can call in and tell devil just how wonderful of a job he's doing on the air.

Become part of the public, not a media outlet for those stealing from the public.  THAT makes great radio.  Basically what I am suggesting is, DO YOUR DAMN JOB!

Everybody wins when that happens.  We get honest government, radio stations ratings go through the roof, and we'll all have white teeth, new windshields, and sleep better.</description>

		<description>Staffer, truth can be pondered, measured and put to the test.  Only those who are misinformed (or like to be misinformed) and can't think for themselves can't figure out what is more likely or not.

Of course I don't like D &#38; C!  The only local host worth listening to is Michael Graham and I even turned him off this AM (and put on Laura Ingraham) because local stuff just makes me sick these days.  There is no hope here when dummies vote for whoever has the D at the end of their name and they are woefully misinformed.</description>
