re: CNN Brian Stelter: “Media Anchors Were The Real Leaders & Moral Authorities On 9/11”

their hubris has no boundaries

IIRC, didn’t Rudy demand they push back the mayoral election so he could finish the recovery and step away instead of leaving his successor to deal with it?

That’s leadership.

They had to anyway. September 11 was the election.

Brian Stelter
@brianstelter
Network TV anchors were "the closest thing that America had to national leaders on 9/11. They were the moral authority for the country on that first day," especially with political leaders in bunkers or otherwise out of sight... LINK …

... crap-oleo-margarine sandwich ...

he should be taken out into the street and horsewhipped. This potato headed POS needs an attitude adjustment.

Pelosi has dumped a hundred pounds of helium up that guys colon.

I would seriously pay good money to watch the eunuch Stelter throw himself in front of an oncoming train.

Yeah, Dan Rather real hero. Was fired months later for being a piece of shite.

By the way, speaking of pieces of shite, I do think it’s worth your time to listen to Howard Stern’s 9/11 broadcast. While people like Rather were filtered and flustered, Howard and his audience over the air were brutally honest during that day. He was supposed to wrap up in about 15 minutes, but he kept his show going on for hours and stayed on the air giving people (particularly in New York) a place to vent. I’m serious when I say that this might be the most important piece of radio ever aired and should be preserved in the Library of Congress for future historians: YouTube

EDIT: the video I watch annually and had tens of millions of views has been taken down. Sorry Howard if you don’t want that out there calling to murder all Afghans and their families, but here’s the thing: everyone in America was saying that that day. Honestly nothing to be ashamed of, and you were being honest that day. All the more reason it should be preserved in the Library of Congress so Howard can’t bury this (and I mean this non-ironically) jewel of footage.

This is historic radio and excellent, but it also shows how far Howard has fallen. He's right up Kimmel's a-hole now and wants to be loved by Hollywood.

He's also all about vaccine mandates and hasn't left his apartment in almost 2 years

It’s sad what Stern has become today. A shred of his former self.

I’d love to write Howard’s obituary. I’d make it 20 pages with tons of praise and criticism towards him. I think I’d be very fair to him since I find Howard to be a fascinating figure, unlike Jimmy who I just find to be disgusting. While I enjoyed Private Parts, I do think there will be a great movie about Howard Stern a few decades from now after he’s dead about his Shakespearean rise and fall.

There’s no doubt he helped out freedom of speech on Limbaugh’s level (which I admire about the younger Howard), but unlike Rush, Howard fell, and fell gloriously. Any honest obituary of Howard will have this as the final two sentences.

“In the end, Howard became what he always despised. He became Don Imus.”
