Buh-bye, Whoopi: Another failed liberal talk radio venture

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 29, 2007 10:59 AM

Brian Maloney has the scoop:

Just weeks after claiming she would reshape her faltering radio program to focus on a New York City audience, Whoopi Goldberg has now been cancelled even there.

According to press and trade reports today, Wake Up With Whoopi was yanked from WKTU-FM today without warning, other than a brief note sent to staffers mere hours before the change. Poor ratings were cited by the station.

Recently, after similar results led to terminations in Chicago and Philly, your Radio Equalizer speculated that Whoopi’s radio days appeared numbered. Now, one can easily expect the syndicated program to be shut down, perhaps in the next few days.

Blame Bush!

    So long as Liberals have Helen Thomas hooked up to re-animator juice, they will always win int the “Ugliest Women” Category.

    I like whoopi. She’s a very funny lady.
    But as a talk show host, I realized how sadly unqualified she is.
    All it took was her explanation of Michael Vick on the View. I needed no more evidence of her silly ignorance, especially as she presented it as fact and deep revelation.
    What did she say?
    She said that Vick grew up in the deep south.
    He’s from Virginia.
    Last time I checked, Virginia was in the northeast.
    ’nuff said.
    She’s a very funny comedian. i enjoy her standup.
    She should probably have worked a little harder on being funny and dropped the whole sentimental liberal bit.

    I have not liked whoopi for a long time. I think she’s rude and refuses to deal with facts. I have real issues with people who will not listen to facts but will go off of ignorant beliefs. How that show even makes it, I dunno. Every time I’ve even tried to turn it on to see a certain guest I liked, I’ve felt dumber. If the show gets yanked, I won’t be sad that is for sure.

    Liberal talk radio fails because it has all been said. It’s been said by NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, almost every newspaper and news magazine. The Frankens and Goldbergs can do is say what what the MSM has already said, but add malice and wit – or what passes for wit in the liberal universe.

    The market for Whoopi-type talk is saturated. All she does is duplicate what the NYT, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, et.al. are already doing. Stimulate hatred for anyone not to the left of George McGovern, drop snide remarks at every opportunity, snipe at President Bush and conservatives, and belittle (cunningly) those of us with religious values. Hmmm. What could be more anti-American than Whoopi and pals?

    Yet another celebrity whose movies I liked before she started talking politics.
