The real purpose of the Howie Carr column linked here was to stick it to WRKO Program Director Jason Wolfe. Near the end, H Lawrence Carr references a certain "dweeby 65-inch former Pop Warner League water boy" viz: Jason Wolfe. Who he? Just part of the Entercomm team that chained Howie to WRKO's sinking ship. He'sd rather be on a competing FM, WTKK 969 FM (although that station's call letters OUGHT to be WTKKK considering its all-white Monday-through-Friday talk show roster and its mostly shameless race baiting..."Barack is NOT one of US!").

I'm starting to get the impression that with all the movement in the print media, a lot of people are trying to get "promoted" to other markets or end up at ESPN.

One of these days, someone will kindly explain to me when we stopped being customers and started to be the enemy. And the better question is, why do we tolerate it?
