RWNJ Media clutching at straws

Heard on morning show (WWOR-AM/NYC) 2 hours ago: Nobel Committee unlikely to have chosen TSF for Peace Prize. And unlikely to change votes by tomorrow. And won’t the Committee “look ridiculous” for not awarding TSF when he’s “brought peace to the Middle East for the first time in 2,000
Years.”

Rolling my eyes in extremis.

If (when) he doesn't win he's going to be whining it's "rigged" and they need to be defunded or investigated (or worse)

Was always an interesting station. By and large its commentators in the old old days, and I’m talking about the 1960s, had a conservative bent. Barry Farber, some of the afternoon folk, and I think even John Gambling were right of center. They all look like Marxists next to this crowd. Jean Shepherd, while somewhat apolitical, was not against the Vietnam War until much later.

…is gross and offensive. He and his toadies have NO CLUE how any of it works. They’ve rationalized that there is bias simply because it has not been bestowed upon him. They hate it, but crave it. No chance, ever, he’ll get anywhere near a Nobel prize. He’d have to corrupt the system or blackmail someone…and I would put it past him to try. Disgusting. So glad Nobel—for now—is outside his reach and recognizes those who are truly worthy.
