With all that's going on now this is a ridiculous small point, but I don't think the on-air personalities have two sh*ts to give anymore.

(64,982 posts)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.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)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".

the 'battle of the airwaves' between WLS and WCFL.
AM radio was the place to be back then.
FM was classical music, IIRC.

He is full of SHIT.

(82,849 posts)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.

(17,077 posts)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.
