No, it’s not because I support his views or because I am a devoted listener. In fact, I did listen to him many, many years ago because I thought he was so ridiculous that he amused me. But one day he said something about the extinction of a species that so upset me that I never listened to him again. By the way, I did try to locate what he said that day, but it was so many years ago that I couldn’t find an archive of it. But I did realize then that the word’s he spoke were very meaningful to some people. Do they still call themselves ditto heads? And, that his words could literally sway millions of people’s opinions in a way that I feel is, at times, dangerous to our nation.
So why don’t I celebrate his loss of advertisers and radio stations?
