For our MCOM 101 class we were given the assignment to listen to controversial radio show host Michael Savage for fifteen minutes. Savage is on the radio station KNEW 910 am. From 3 pm- 7pm. I thought Savage was quite interesting to listen to. I can understand however, how many people would say he was offensive. He is very opinionated and obviously an intelligent man though I don’t agree with most of what he says. Savage is most definitely a conservative man. He, from what I gathered listening to what he says, appears to despise democrats.
Savage was saying the he has wanted to change the name of the Martin Luther King day holiday to Civil rights day for years. When on the topic of changing the name of the MLK holiday to civil rights day, I believe he said: “if you want to see some “salad picker” to have his name on a holiday then, vote democrat.”’ Although offensive, Savage is within his rights under the first Amendment. Even when savage says statements such as “the gays and the feminists are draining the masculinity from this country.” After listening to Michael Savage for this assignment, I think I may tune in once in a while just to see what he is shaking up.
