as a customer. I am severely hearing impaired, and even with my hearing aids, without reading lips I can't understand what people say to me.

pull their mask down to speak, and inevitably it's just to say something like, "How has your day been?" I understand that they are expected to say such things to customers in normal times, and that habit kicks in, but I don't want them to lower their masks to say something unnecessary to me--for their sake as much as for my own.

by Comcast Media . And if anyone has taken a few minutes to research Comcast and who their Billionaire majority owners are,you can understand the Toad Puppet character and how he is just chasing a pay check. BTW,not a bad Gig for a Guy who went to College for a couple years on a French Horn Scholarship.

As a old time Radio Guy in the Midwest Radio Market would say at the close of his daily show,"I Got The Money".

I grew up in Chicago and remember very well
the 'battle of the airwaves' between WLS and WCFL.

AM radio was the place to be back then.
FM was classical music, IIRC.

He was a big proponent of saying that "Trump has changed his tone!" And that was when? Sometime this month?
He is full of SHIT.

In his segment with Elizabeth Warren (before she withdrew and before all the Covid stuff) he asked her, “On a scale of from Chuck to Todd, who was the worst interviewer you sat with.”

My money would be on having to "both sides" Trump's "sarcastic" questions about injecting disinfectants. There just isn't a Democratic analog to that, which would make chucktodd cranky.

hit him right. Todd is a worthless piece of shit as an actual journalist. He would never use an invective on air — he’s a shrill for his big money bosses. Why do you think he’s there?

I can understand people forgetting broadcasting decorum when in their own homes. We adapt our behavior to our environment, and it would be pretty easy to slip up. Of course, he could have just fucked up.
