Sam Seder about to discuss Malloy (7:30)

[Armstead]

Sam Seder just said he's be talking about "what he knows" about Mike Malloy situation in a few minutes.

[Armstead]

1. Kick

Because there's not enough interest in the subject today... :)

[Cleita]

2. Keep us posted. We don't get majority report until much later

here.

[never_get_over_it]

3. I think he actually said later in the show

not necessarily in a few minutes....

[Armstead]

8. He said "in a few minutes" but it was more than a few minutes ago

I guess it's the old "teaser" strategy to keep listeners hooked.

I can't listen now but I'm saving it on Replay Radio to check out later.

[mcscajun]

9. Yup..."coming up", "later in the show", "stay tuned"

it's all about keeping you in place through the show, whether it's news or entertainment.

I'd imagine it will be the very last thing before the show ends.

[MoseyWalker]

4. Please don't let this thread drop into the

deepest part of the GD bucket!

I would like to know something more about this!

[greenbriar]

5. me too as this is likely the last day to listen to AAR in our home

.

[goclark]

6. Kick

[Nobody]

7. I'm curious

Please update when you hear the news.

[helderheid]

10. I was at the Anti-Bush rally all day - what the hell is going on?

[shireen]

13. here's the post that started it all.

11. :|

I thought Seder himself was about to be fired. Odd for him of all people to broach the subject of Malloy's firing.

[helderheid]

12. WHEN AND WHY was Malloy FIRED???

[shireen]

15. this morning. apparently "financial reasons"

They'll update us further on mikemalloy.com at some point. He was not formally informed about his termination. Apparently, they heard about it thru someone else, and got confirmation from an AAR suit. Really stinks!

[Nikki Stone 1]

32. Bullshit!

He gave the most powerful show of his life yesterday. His Katrina coverage and Greg Palast interview were AMAZING.

I wonder if being on for Randi attracted some unwelcome attention? On yesterday's show, he made it clear that the levies were broken on Monday night and that the Fed (and the White House) KNEW they were. This made NOLA a federal problem as of Monday night, which the WH chose to ignore.

Methinks Mike hit the truth too hard.

[shireen]

47. methinks you are right! nt

[NYCGirl]

14. Sam Seder is taking over the 9AM to noon spot. NT

[coffeenap]

16. kick

[LSK]

17. he say anything yet?

:shrug:

[itsrobert]

18. I'm CONFUSED! I thought you all were boycotting Air America?

Now everyone wants to listen to Sam Sedar on Air America. I guess it's just all idle talk.

I dont see how you are anyones buddy.

[LSK]

20. having fun?

Generalize much???

Show me where I said I was boycotting.

[MoseyWalker]

21. i'm not boycotting anyone

I'm asking for information.

I'm not everyone though.

[Beelzebud]

22. Yes, you are confused. I agree.

[eleny]

23. You thought wrong

:kick:

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. You all? I never said I was boycotting AAR. Idle talk is something

the republiCONS engage in.

[Armstead]

26. As the Op, I don;t recall sayiong anything about a boycott

In fact, I haven't posted anything about this all day.

[itsrobert]

35. Sorry, for the over generalizing

thanks.

[shireen]

27. no!

of course not! I still see value in AAR, as do others, and will continue listening to Thom and Sam and Randi. But there are some who have chosen to boycott AAR and I respect their decision.

[greenbriar]

28. cheney off limpballs

its like a car wreck...don't want to see it but got to find out all the details then tomorrow poof...gone

[peaches2003]

31. Anything yet?

I just got in and turned on Sam. Has he said anything about MM yet??? Please let's keep this up at the top.

This whole 2 weeks or so of rumors of changes and on-air hints has been ridiculous. Do any of the suits at AAR have a clue how to run a radio network or what their core audience wants. AAR should have been run by professionals with financial backing from the beginning. It's always been 'on the brink' of collapse and then they make another stupid move.

[LSK]

33. i havnt heard anything yet

Been listening for 20 min now.

[LSK]

34. I think he said hed say something at the end of his show

[Armstead]

36. I guess he meant a few hours....

Honest he did say it was coming right up a while back.

He just referredf to it, saying he didn't want to lose his job or get fined by the FCC for saying what he realkly thinks...."So I'll save it to the end of the show, so I won;t say it too many times."

So I guess he;ll be saying something shortly before 10

[peaches2003]

37. Wasting his show

He's wasting his whole show and so will Peter Werbe. People who listen regularly to AAR just want to talk about MM tonight. AAR has put their hosts in a terrible position by doing this firing as they did and then having their other on-air personnel having to act like nothing is wrong and pretend that anyone is really listening to anything they are saying tonight.

AAR makes the wrong moves and then does the moves in the worst possible way. Losers. NO wonder they are financially going down the tubes.

[LSK]

38. ITS TIME!!!

[eleny]

39. Sam just said he's read the postings here at DU about Mike today

Sam thinks it's crap that Mike is gone. He's pissed off.

[MoseyWalker]

40. that's it? nt

[LSK]

42. he says he doesnt know what else to say

He says its horsecrap. Hes pissed.

What can he really do about it thou?

[eleny]

43. It was brief

[wherewingstakedream]

41. Sam just said speaking of insanity they

fired Mike Malloy today. He is mad as hell. He said Mike is the best host on Air America

[TheWatcher]

44. I wonder if Sam is going to be axed now because he said something

It wouldn't surprise me.

There is jumping the shark, and then there is what AAR did today.

They should just rename the damn network Air Appeasement Network.

[LSK]

45. I doubt it, Franken likes him too much

[TheWatcher]

46. Could be.

AS far as I'm concerned Franken is one of the biggest appeasers.

He refuses to even entertain the subjects of Vote Fraud in the past three elections and 9/11.

Milquetoast, middle of the road, and in complete denial where it counts the most.

I wonder if he will get religion when HIS Election is Stolen from HIM.

Malloy was never afraid to stand up and say what NEEDED to be said.

Franken couldn't even hope to hold his mic with eight hands.
