It's about the LAW and the Constitution for me. I don't agree with all Laws, but I DO believe that there is a proper way to handle disagreements - that's what our Nation is all about. The Constitution gives the people a lot of Freedoms, it defines what the Politicians have the rights & obligations to do and we have a Judiciary that is supposed to look out for all of us.

That's NOT where this Nation stands today - we have a "New Normal" and it's Chipping away at our Constitutional Freedoms. I find it extremely worrisome. People need to pay some serious attention to this stuff.

Saw this today - is this also going to be a "New Normal"? It's 3rd World Totalitarian tactics.
What is going on here?

Talk Radio Host Michael Savage Abruptly Removed From Radio, Claims ‘Sabotage’ |5:14 pm Eastern Standard Time

I'm not a fan of Talk Radio, just as I'm not a fan of Cable News or TV in almost any form. I read - a LOT.
I'm aware of who Michael Savage is - The Savage Nation is a nationally syndicated talk show that is the second most listened-to radio talk show in the country with an audience of over 20 million listeners on 400 stations across the United States - he was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. He is a Trump supporter - is that really a good enough reason to cut his show? Just because he has a viewpoint that others disagree with?

They suddenly cut him off in his home area - the New York Tri-State area, replacing him with another show. When he revealed that in the rest of his markets - they Cut that off and replaced his show with a Recorded Show.

THAT is Serious Business - is this where we are headed? Political Censorship?
The NEW NORMAL in our Transformed America? Is this what we Really want?

Pay attention Folks .... NONE of this is looking good.

Isn't Trump the one who wants censorship? He only wants to be shown in a certain light....

I'm confused .

Is it Trump that wants a Moderator to side with a Candidate?
Is it Trump that wants a Special Podium?
Is it Trump that "rests" instead of taking his case to the People?
Is it Trump that sends out Surrogates to Campaign for him? (male for the most part)
Is it Trump that gets just about all the Major Media to DEMAND some sort of "fact check", never done before in any of the Hillary Clinton Debates (all 30 of them)?

Exactly WHO is making Demands of the Moderator? Who is shutting down Media that DARES to not get on the Clinton Bandwagon? Who was it that Attacked Matt Lauer because he refused to Attack the Clinton Opponent?

What exactly happened to Shut Down a Talk Radio Program that is ranked #2 in the Nation?
Inquiring Minds want to know.

Ole Trump just doesn't want to be fact checked..... He just wants you to believe him, no questions asked.... That sounds like the type of person who shoots for honesty....

How do you know he didn't shut it down on purpose in order get people stirred up... Like yourself....?

Perhaps you can post some other news stories about the issue Mr Savage is having?

I don't care for Savage--I've heard him a couple of times when his show was picked up locally--but being cut off the air as soon as he started talking about Hillary's health?

Interesting.

They've done it to others because they'd made pro-Trump comments on their shows, like Dennis Michael Lynch, Hannity, Limbaugh (I don't watch/listen to Hannity or Limbaugh) and a few others. I like DML and usually follow his webcasts.

Who is they? Like Clear Channel? Who owns a lot of the radio broadcasting?

Savage has a masters in epidemiology along with Pharmacology. He was talking about Hillary's medications and their side effects. I guess he ticked some (Hillary) people off?
