“Beck is on in the middle of the afternoon, when everyone is driving home, and still gets more ratings than Maddow, who is on in primetime.

That said, they’re both non journalist hacks. Beck is just better at it than Maddow.

This post will be deleted along with my other one, since PFT has to protect their own NBC properties.”

You realize beck is a cnn reject with ratings that are steadily falling right? Why wouldn’t your comment get posted? It’s not against site rules to post moronic, politi-bable you know.

Everyone is missing the point. This story goes wrong here, “Feinstein revealed this week that Kornheiser has told him that’s a subject that cannot be broached.”

This Feinstein is a tool and living in the market I have to endure his “analysis”. Thank god for the mute button!

Ugh not this guy again, talk about nepotism.

Who is PFT to say that Kornheiser must rip Dan Snyder for this lawsuit? Snyder might win the lawsuit and be justified. It seems that PTF just want more people to jump on the bandwagon to criticize Snyder. Folks outside of D.C. only hear the D.C. media’s perspective of Snyder which is not always accurate because he seldom speaks to the media. It’s all second hand nonsense in most cases and sensationalism. TK is smart to stay quiet until it plays out in court. PFT can be a-holes sometimes.

Any shred of professional integrity Tony Kornheiser may have had, has just evaporated.

Sell out.

That may all be true, but you have to admit Kornholer does a great Penguin Dance.

Sweet, 4 posts deleted in under a half hour. PFT loving their censorship of posts criticizing their Liberal overlords, and get this, with no offensive language.

” I don’t like Maddow’s show that much but the woman happens to have a degree in journalism and she presents stories which have actual facts in them. Beck is a morning dj reject with a communications degree…”

I have a degree in business administration. That doesn’t mean I’m a boss.

Rachel Maddow is an Air America reject.

Beck is on in the middle of the afternoon, when everyone is driving home, and still gets more ratings than Maddow, who is on in primetime.

That said, they’re both non journalist hacks. Beck is just better at it than Maddow.

People should listen to the show or not comment at all. He has talked about it on his show.

Oh i know…he should just spend his whole show bashing the Redskins like the idiots Lavar and fat boy

“Tony Kornheiser is no more a journalist than Glenn Beck or Rachel Maddow.”

You are so far off base on that statement it made me laugh. I don’t like Maddow’s show that much but the woman happens to have a degree in journalism and she presents stories which have actual facts in them. Beck is a morning dj reject with a communications degree (just like half of the nfl players do) and just makes up random conspiracy theories on his show sans facts. Please try to understand the difference between these two people.

A lot of people are ripping on Kornheiser… I can’t. It’s easy for us to take the high road but it’s a totally different animal ripping on the guy who signs your paycheck and is proving right now that he vindictive. I would do the same thing as Kornheiser.

thats right cuz we can all go on national tv and talk dirt about our bosses and keep our job…

yeah, because Kornheiser really needs that check from Snyder. He’s one of two hosts of a very successful show on ESPN and he has a daily talk radio show. If the talk radio gig is the one that’s linked to Snyder, then Kornheiser is still fine. I’m sure there’s more than one talk radio station in D.C. If Snyder fired him for commenting on the lawsuit, Kornheiser would get picked up in no time. Not only would he bring in listeners, but there’s the added benefit of that station hiring him after he was fired for speaking out against Snyder’s actions. That’s the kind of press you just can’t buy, and it would no doubt please the station owner to stick it to one of his main rivals.

I suspect the truth is closer to Kornheiser just liking Snyder. I suspect his income from WTEM is a small fraction of his income from ESPN and even he lost that job the infamy would get him another show on a competing station if he wanted it. In the end, like him or not, does anyone really think he’s working two jobs because he needs the money?
======================

You’re right, he doesn’t need the money from either job.

The fact is, and TK has said this hundreds of times, he loves his radio show more than anything else he does.

He hated giving it up when he took MNF (which, by the way, he walked away from, and was not fired from) and is not going to do anything to jeopardize his show now.

@raj:

What the hell is the comparison with some hack Catonsville station talking about Wilbon leaving the post and TK not talking about Snyder?

Get back on your meds, dude.

He’s talked about it before, but briefly. Everyone knows his show is mostly not about sports. Everyone knows he is paid by Snyder, and is friendly with him. Kornheiser has been in Snyder’s box for at least one Redskins game. Everyone knows this, there is no need for him to explain it. Poor reporting by MDS. There is no story here.

I’m no brainiac on all things Kornholio…

But there’s 2 ways to go here… 1. Kornholio thinks Snyder is a jerk or 2, he thinks Snyder is right and has every right to sue.

If it’s #2, then why no defense? But you can’t be in the business of sports journalism, be it just an opinion guy, and think it’s alright to sue a reporter or opinion writer out of a job because you don’t like the message… And in so doing make stuff up (nothing was said about your wife’s breast cancer Snyder and there’s no proof of antisemitism.

Kornholio is weak and he’s gonna plummet and get no ratings. Snyder should hire him as a PR guy, not as an opinion guy if all he wants is good press.

Oh, and the guy who thinks Snyder cares about winning? Ha ha ha! No, he cares about money.

Why are other media members calling out Tony? Do they need Tony to start on something they are missing? Seems like the sharks are circling themselves here.

You’ve got to be fair….although it is a double edged sword…Tony knows where his bread is buttered, and we all know Snyder is a fool a straight lunatic! he’d fire Tony just as he may say good morning, so Tony cant’ really play with it, now….as a journalist, and as part of his craft, he should speak on these items, (Danny’s foolery) but hes’ caught up in the matrix on this one. Being an impartial journalist, or having a paycheck!
Tony wanna show you have big ones and write or speak about whatever, or are you a good company man, and need the check every week? not a hard choice.

I love how Kornheiser’s rival station ’105.7 The Fan’ can talk about the Washington Post suspending its own employee and his ex-Post colleague Mike “Wise Ass”, but Kornheiser doesn’t have the balls (ahem, I mean fortitude) to talk about the dumbest employer in the world, Dan Snyder!!!

Kornholio, I am disappointed. This is just the latest in you going soft on controversial sports issues. You will take pot shots at Hannah Storm about her clothes, but you refuse to discuss the biggest story about one of the most controversial owners in sports? Light-weight!

Tony, you no longer deserve to host ANY sports show. You’ve proven you can be bought.
