Guess he is part of the current school of journalism which thinks it's their job to create news. Under the guise of "smart conversation" they toss our controversial comments hoping there will be sufficient reaction to create an audience.....the al.com approach. Unfortunately for him, viewers obviously voted with their fingers....by changing channels when his show came on. He's not remotely in the click bait or controversy business. He'd probably be surprised to find out that an off-handed and accurate comment about folks in Trump country (fact) throwing toilet paper at trees (fact) got some folks' feelings so hurt. If we're going to carry on a tradition of celebrating with toilet paper, then we should probably have a sense of humor about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I have a sense of humor about it...and even find the toilet tissue thing strange....kinda like cow bells or razorback hats or cheese heads. His problem was the condescending inclusion of "Trump voters" into his attempt at humor. When someone like BS does not recognize the danger of mixing his politics into his commentary and intentionally insults members of his audience...he deserve the flash back that he got. Sorry for being so touchy but media arrogance toward our region wears thin after a while. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
