Local News Sucks Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 We have a situation where both Broome County deaths of Coronavirus have been at Lourdes Hospital. The family of one of the deceased have been on every TV station and in the newspaper with criticism of how Lourdes handled the treatment of their loved one, and the communication to the family. A caller just called into Bob Joseph on WNBF to talk about the care at Lourdes, but Bob Joseph cut him right off. Don't kid yourselves, Lourdes/Ascension Health are one of the biggest paid advertisers on WNBF/Town Square Media. What is allowed to be discussed on Bob Joseph's show is dictated by who advertises with his radio group. Bob's show is bought and paid for.

JB 2 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 For those with good AM reception I have a suggestion. WHAM-AM out of Rochester. From 9 'til noon you can hear a guy not fence sitting, not censoring callers or guests. Not politically motivated other than believing in Constitution, 10 Commandments, the 20 Laws our United States are Founded on. One of the good guys. (no sense going on with the nearly 20 years old arguments of white hat v black hat analogy. Some of you remember that one after the Attacks) 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By old American standards he sounds like a Leftist Propagandist. 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when cussin' him out I still like the guys views, mostly. And yes his show is as relevant to Broome County as to his home county. 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Rather said he was asked "What is the frequency, Kenneth" when he was accosted in a parking lot by 2 guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason does not matter but I was in a self imposed isolation for months. Just when I needed to get out and about again I find this virus thing puts a damper on movements. Damn life sucks at times. However, for now it is better than the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Oh fine. I heard the segment and thought Bob was significantly less than diplomatic in explaining that he didn't want his show turned into a Lourdes bashing session. He didn't have to jump down the guys throat like that. People have stories to tell. Those stories show a pattern of behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27 Time World Champions Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 R.E.M. was offered bundles of cash by Microsoft for the right to use their songs in TV commercials. R.E.M. turned them down. Always respected them for that move. Love that they made a song out of the Dan Rather fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
