There's a new guy on our local radio station

It's primarily a news /talk station. Some political opinion, but mostly municipal stuff. Good way to keep up on local politics.

Anyway, a few days ago, there was an interview with a woman talking about autism. Some interesting stuff, but then the host asked about vaccines, and she said that in her experience, there has to be a connection, because parents have told her the symptoms occurred shortly after vaccination. Then the host read a quote from natural news.

Yesterday, I turn on the radio and he's talking about chemtrails, and the worldwide dentist conspiracy to poison us through silver amalgam fillings. Again with long quotes, one from natural news.

Doesn't take any calls after dropping those turds, but goes on to interview a local council member.

Needless to say, I won't be tuning in at 1 pm any more.

Called cfax 1070 his first name is Ian. Jessup? Something like that.

Today was how the local people are getting sick from compost. I thought it was the Mercury and or the aluminium nano particles in the chemtrails? Can't he make up his mind?

one the local stations here has been airing somebody who makes Noory and the rest of them sound sane.

This genius is named Clyde Lewis and his show is Ground Zero.

After decades of exposing myself to the lunacy of conspiracy/racist/right-wing morons this guy buys the ingredients, bakes and takes the cake.

What gets me is that they'll believe in chupacabra, alien abductions, bigfoot, unicorns and all the rest but then become ultra-skeptics if anything comes close to straying off the conservative plantation.

Hasn't veered that far into cloud cuckoo land. I'd like to think the radio station would fire him long before he goes there.

I'm going to write a letter to the station complaining about him.

Ok, so I can't look away from the train wreck that this radio guy represents....


A climate change denialist Tim ball. Who claims that all the scientists who are promoting anthropogenic climate change are in on the conspiracy to reduce population via burning less fossil fuels.
