Cleveland residents are now treated to Jerry Springer’s daily radio show on WTAM 1100. For the program, Springer’s transformed himself from the daytime TV show em-sleaze to liberal talk radio pundit. I’ve listened in a few times, and I’m not impressed. Surely the Left has more to offer than this. Springer’s just not that entertaining when he’s talking (or, as is more likely, ranting) about politics, nor is he particularly insightful. There’s also a slightly paranoid streak in his show. Today, for instance, a listener warned about Bill Kristol’s Project for a New American Century, and its alleged plot for Neocon world domination, and Jerry chimed right in, saying the project was “scary” and real. If I want to hear intelligent liberal commentary, I think I’ll stick with NPR.
