media matters for america you guys who was that uh... found i'm missus quote in
the first place got in trouble and eventually was fired
the looks like you might be comeback on air
ini cbb excited about that but still in a positive way
weapons
the question now if you don't get back on the other question is what his
behavior to be like
ill people might remember that but that after the whole thing broke out because
apologizing apologizing
though one of the reasons i think that he did eventually lose his job was that
not just a quick comment about the records back baltimore patents
overpowered
if it wasn't the first time know what the fifth time illa kemp and he did
these races humor and then ended up apologizing for it until you were going
to do it again and in doing it again
solo question at this time we decide to put him back on the air uh... opened
then where's the responsibility camelot is that media company whoever it is are
they going to be vigilant about making sure that what they're putting out over
there with the something if they think it's possible
contributes
to the public good or are they just recall let him go wild flaky always has
in the past i think that's what they were questioned and the media matters we
are certainly going to be watching it will be
coming up on our website anything that he fed the people might find
objectionable what all you'll ways wants supersonics that's
uh... if we keep the they have suspended i missed and then he came back apologize
and explain why what he did was wrong
uh... that we might be a better situation that if they fired and and
then somebody else higher ism to basically do the same thing
so are we don't have a worse situation now that
did an exquisite timepieces
in effect saying i'm giving you the green light to do with value fired in
the first one
well i think that possible witness it really depends on what the
terms of his new contract are and what kind of an attitude he's gonna bring
something he can't make jokes from
and you know do you uh... the kind of uh...
uh... the next of politics and humor that he had before
that uh... i think that there really depends on what level of responsibility
that media companies want to take it over to a different about
what happened with that whole desktop wasn't just all the attention they gave
it but but the fact that eventually n_b_c_ which was a ring
show on their company network msnbc
c_b_s_ radio at eventually after a first saying well you know when i really
responsible for what he thought that she is working on that eventually they did
step up and say okay you know we have to take responsibility well it was very
different pat and the question is is back in a
isn't that level of responsibility to the extent again
and i i hope it will be what time
waldman firm and media matters dot org o_ parking such as he doesn't have a
favor cuz
you know some people reporting that he got twenty million dollars and he
doesn't have a tad act i think they may get a new contract so he's gonna be on
the air just the same and plus a twenty million dollars in his pocket
well but certainly possible um... happen but i thought about
after getting out of twenty million dollars
bad blood you know you can never predict how the things are going to go when we
when we put those sorts of things up on our website monitoring that we do
uh... it because we want people to understand what happened
on talk radio on television hiding in a lot of other places in india that they
might not be aware of engagement always predict what the consequences of remove
thinks the public attention are going to be stands gracielle
overtones at least in the week humidity use
among the different conservatives
i'm not even to this time is was a conservative uh... you know monday's
limbaugh's the savages and set the glen basis at all
i think you might in the least offensive uh... is was it was he taking down based
on what he said alone or was it that he actually will also wasn't getting back
greater ratings anymore
what's your sense of the whole that you're right in the b_b_c_ working
really stricken certificate or particularly article
and operate that there are a lot of people out there who said even worse
things and he said i think that part of the reason that he got so much more
attention was the fact that he helped kind of a different place in the media
eco-system if you will one i think that that was character sketches show with
you had this paredo uh... very uh...
commonwealth part of the stab oceanview figures
and politicians who'd gone to show all the time and in between hide you know
the racial humor then you'd have an interview with chris matthews or an
interview with john kerry uh... and and the fact that
he was uh... someone who was
so invested with the political media establishment
uh... it personal conferred a larger uh... degree of responsibility on him he
should have acted more responsibly
uh... and if it meant that those people were going to have to answer for that
the stuff going on the show when they weren't there
and you know what you did you come for the public michael savage was injured by
millions and millions yourself do you doubt and endless stream of hate radio
every single day
uh... you know growth prominent politicians in the figures are not going
on his show
now there are other place in a rush limbaugh's off somebody who is not
directly responsible in his rhetoric of the vice president if it goes on his
program on time
uh... which the hope that they should but i i think that that was really that
the fact that i vs
uh... well thought of within within that kind of washington political media
establishment uh... is part of the reason why so much attention was given
to him
