Everyone wants to eat healthy but nobody does. That's what working out is for. So you can eat pizza rolls.

Ignorant comments about the poor and a stated willingness to go to a grocery store qualifies as "getting taken to the woodshed"?

No but Parkins acting as if he has some sort of street cred with the people in Austin because he was there once , challenging Wolf to go there , Wolf saying ok sure name the time and Parkins clamming the fuck up about it does.

Parkins isn't even all that liberal.

I didn't know helping the poor was leftist.

…nor is being a leftist some sort of bad thing

And that thinking is why we have such deep rooted problems in this country.

Competition for NPR?

The left-wing echo chamber is a crowded place, and the SJW's on WSCR are already willing and dedicated soldiers, so it seems like a massive waste of money.

Maybe Soros is afraid Trump would defund NPR and wants to make protect the left-wing brand by launching his own version of NPR?

It certainly would open up a huge guest list for Pat chat with on Cubs broadcasts, "we are joined by (insert Soros candidate) who is running for (insert political office), now Matt Spiegel and I noticed your position on (insert left wing talking point) and would like you to expand on that".

Talk about a wet dream for lil' Danny Bernstein, he can now say he works for Soros while hanging out with his fellow SJW's.

The last nail has been hammered into the coffin of the once entertaining AM radio station known as WSCR.

Proft had responded to Riordan's tweet.

"When I say the Chicago sports press corps is inhabited by illiberal popinjays who flack for the New Marxists because they so want to be considered colleagues of the similarly disposed political press corps, it's hysterics like this goof from The Score (WSCR) I'm referencing," he wrote.

If he really talks like that no wonder most every candidate he drops cash on loses.

You do realize that the neoliberal identity politics that WSCR hosts like Parkins and Bernstein have adopted are simply reflections of the ideological position of their employer, right?

It wasn't too long ago that Bernstein cohosted a show specializing in all forms of "politically incorrect" humor. That brand of humor changed with new station ownership and new corporate values. Bernstein and Parkins haven't formulated a political agenda; they are simply echoing one.

Additionally, it hardly seems that the "left-wing" (by which I think you actually mean culturally liberal and economically conservative, so the correct term to describe the ideology of the media class would be "neoliberal identity politics"; please use it in the future in deference to the fact that there is nothing inherently leftist about the dominant corporate ideology of our time) media echo chamber is any more crowded than the "right-wing" echo chamber given the popularity and reach of Fox and Sinclair.

Finally, Trump tried to rescind federal funding for NPR and failed miserably, so I doubt Soros is harboring any particular concerns about Trump's return to power in the area of public broadcasting (though he likely dislikes Trump for other reasons). If anything, Soros recognizes that NPR has increasingly become a voice of centrist orthodoxy given its heavy reliance on corporate underwriting. It would therefore seem more likely that he is trying to counter the rightward ideological drift of the media landscape than anything else.

According to the people here, the Trumpers owning the Cubs are going to allow lefties in the broadcast booth for propaganda purposes during the games. Interesting takes.

Interesting take, guess you have missed the awkward 7th inning stretch interviews over the past....20 years or so?

Seems there have been a few times things went off the rails a bit, not sure the Trib was with Ditka and Mongo's behavior back in the day, maybe they were Trumpers when Trumping wasn't cool?

Now turn to page 25 in your hymnal and say "Orange Man Bad" 30 times to absolve from the sin of actually acknowledging a satirical post.

my best guess is that pat is an R. grew up in sunny cal. during california's R heyday. delves into capitalistic endeavors and loves $$. nostalgic for an era that has been smeared in recent years. family man. had fun with the word snowflake. i've never gotten one hint that he believes the western world is and will always be unfair to perpetual malcontents. smart enough not to run his mouth about politics on wgn radio.

yes on daniel from deerfield.

I remember when Senor said Hughes was "too homespun" and that he preferred the play-by-play of Ed Farmer.

Senor was spot on.
