Another failed liberal talk show host trying to decide what you should listen to
We were going to start this story by saying, “Bill Press called called free speech on the radio a ‘failed experiment from the Reagan era.’” But we were worried you would react by saying, “Bill who”
Press is a yet another failed liberal talk show host. A bitter, angry liberal talk show host. But we repeat ourselves.
“Maybe it’s time,” Press said in a Washington Post op-ed piece today, “to bring back the Fairness Doctrine — and bring competition back to talk radio in Washington and elsewhere.”
Press is upset because his Washington, DC affiliate dropped the liberal talk format. He says it was canceled because of “an exclusive, tightly-held, conservative media conspiracy.” The station says it was canceled because the format was so spectacularly unsuccessful that it ranked dead last in the latest ratings.
We have to agree with Press on one thing: there is a conspiracy here. Unfortunately for Press, it’s a conspiracy of listeners who want entertaining radio.

Press is his own worst enemy where radio is concerned, and probably the best example of why lib radio is a laughable failure. In 1995 I called his show to question what we were being told about the Waco tragedy. When I mentioned the possibility that those people didn’t actually set themselves of fire and it was the attack that burned down the building, he hung up on me and proceeded to insult me in the most vile way one could imagine.
Then again its pretty much what you’d expect from a guy who looks as if he subsists solely on lemons and vinegar. And to think this guy actually studied for the priesthood.
Good riddance. Bill.
Bill Press? What a joke. Bad logic coupled with bad suits.
Bill Press? He still exists? I can’t even remember the year, but he used to be on KFI in Los Angeles. He wouldn’t have had a show if not for Rush Limbaugh. Bill’s entire format was to try to convince us each day that Rush had lied that morning. I didn’t buy it then, and I don’t buy it now. Go wring your hands elsewhere, Bill.
