Stern’s sit-down with VP Harris is scheduled for Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT and will […]

    Let’s place bets on the moniker Trump will insult Stern with when he rages after.

    I’m going with ‘STUPID STERN’ because it’s simple stuff for a simpleton bully.

    Let’s hope he asks why the US (a superpower) seems to be inept at reigning in their attack dog in the middle east. For a country that is dependent on the US, Israël seems to be getting a better deal in terms of strings attached (or lack thereof) than Ukraine or even US citizens when they get something from the US.

      Stern is a staunch zionist, if anything ME comes up it’ll be praise for Biden/Harris unlimited support for fascism in the region.

      Stern was immediately condemned in Denver. In the Denver Rocky Mountain News, editors said, “Either we are serious about showing respect for the dead and their families or we aren’t. Either we care about the quality of our culture or we don’t."

      Well, 25 years of school shootings later would suggest that we do not much for the quality of our culture at all.

        I haven’t listened in years, but even a decade-plus ago, you could tell he was desperate to be taken seriously as an interviewer.

        Now, to be fair, with the right subject he could weave together empty-headed sex and gossip questions he knew would never get a real answer with questions that were probing but felt less invasive by comparison, and then use that to get some interesting answers. Any modestly savvy interviewee would know this was the schtick, though, and reveal exactly as much as they wanted, but even then it made it a safe place to “off brand” a bit.

        I don’t know how many of the accoutrements of peak Howard Stern are still around, but I presume this is still a move by Harris to whittle a couple of points off Trump’s lead among white men in Pennsylvania, but with a host who is WAY over any fondness for Donald Trump.

      I would have never thought I’d have seen the day a Lemmy user unironically cited American Family Association crying about a radio joke in a political thread. But here we are!
