Another liberal talk show host is about to leave WCPT 820-AM, the Newsweb Radio progressive talk station.

Bill Press has announced he’s stepping down from the syndicated program he has hosted for 14 years, effective May 31. His show airs on WCPT from 6 to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday.

His departure from the station follows that of afternoon host Ben Joravsky, who was cut in December, and syndicated evening host Norman Goldman, who retired in February. They were replaced by Joan Esposito and Rick Ungar, respectively.

“Bill has enjoyed a remarkable, award-winning career as a political commentator, media insider and author,” said Mark Pinski, general manager of Newsweb Radio. “Our listeners will miss him, but they should look forward to connecting with our next morning drive host. We are excited and our listeners will be too.”

Pinski said a replacement for Press is expected to be announced later this week.

Press, 79, a former CNN and MSNBC commentator and author of seven books, will launch a podcast in June with a focus on the 2020 presidential election, according to published reports.

“We’ve had a great 14 year run of daily shows, but it’s time to transition,” Press tweeted. “The last daily show will be May 31, but don’t worry! My voice will still front and center as we enter the 2020 election. Big news coming soon!”

Friday’s comment of the day: Michael Gay: Thanks for sorting out exactly where this pardon among thieves comes from. What an absolute disgrace.

Fighting Kavanaugh on The Bill Press Show on @TheRonnieRe- September 28, 2018

Kavanaugh, the quintessential entitled white man cannot even answer questions honestly about his past behavior.

Boys, we're not having it that way in this day and age.

#LovePalestine The Bill Press Show - September 11, 2018

Trying to tell everyone about the dogs of Palestine.

Peter Ogburn Anchors The Bill Press Show - June 15, 2018

They do a good job of explaining the news.

.....................................

Diana George Babish is a lady who lives in Bethlehem.  She has an animal shelter for dogs.  There are very many dogs who live on their own in this area of the world.

She is working very hard to try and find homes for these animals.  They are all very clean and friendly.  She has kennels ready for transport and all of the papers needed to take one home.

Sometimes in the area dogs are poisoned or just abandoned. 

Diana and her friend Sabrina talking about her animal shelter.

They are hungry and thirsty and in need of health care.

This lady spends her day trying to care for these creatures and in the night she often receives calls to go and pick up another dog in need of her help.

Can you help this lady in any way?

Can you get a dog.

One can fly to Tel Aviv from the UK for about 250 dollars on a discount flight.

Here is a little more information about her and a link to her facebook page:

At the end of the day are Kelly and Tillerson bigger men than donald trump: The Bill Press Show - October 18, 2017

They made an interesting comment today when they talked about Tillerson and Kelly running very large corporations and being a very esteemed general yet having to take orders and constantly be insulted by an ingrate like donald trump.

Even though one would not agree with the republican policies these folks are pushing does this mean that these individuals are indeed more of a man than the donald and care more about the well-being of the country than their selves that they are willing to stay on and suffer the indiscretions of their post and their boss.

Christina Wilkie from the Huff Po describes the Winter Of Our Discontent on the The Bill Press Show - January 24, 2017

The Winter Of Our Discontent............


Christina Wilkie, White House reporter for the Huffington Post accurately describes the tragedy playing out in real time in the donald trump White House.

She talked about the people around the donald parsing the truth in order to get a few rays of sun from their beloved leader.

The investigative reporting will be our view into reality for the general public.

While we may not get the facts from donald's house and his sycophant staff we still have quality reporting out there and folks like Christina Wilkie that will take time to accurately go through every statement given by this gang of ultra right wing conservatives in order for the general public to know the what is actually happening.



This blogger's thing.......

My Grandmother went to the 8th grade.  She shouted at me every day to get an education.  She was so proud of her driver's license and her job of selling notions at a department store but ultimately she had to give this up to raise children and spend her life with an abusive alcoholic.

Yes, she loved this sometimes loving Jekyll and Hyde anyway but the point is she did not have any choices.


Here we have Bill O'Reilly and the donald running around chasing women then saying they didn't do it but the woman does not have any choices about having children or not, about having a positive future or not.

Readers it is about having the education and the choice and the ability to make a decision not to live under of fist of a controlling individual.

The Bill Press Radio Show: Trump Tweets--Are They News

Should the news outlets be reporting on Donald Trump's Tweets as if they are  breaking news.

NO!!!

This is not news....Folks, this is why we have a carnival barker as president.

This was part of the discussion on the Bill Press Radio Show today.  Are the donald's tweets newsworthy and should they be talking about them the whole time.

Peter Ogburn made the notable point that fiance is involved and this may not stop as long as the networks are making money over this kind of information.

Readers, it is often said that Colonel Tom Parker, the manager of Elvis Presley, who was indeed a carnival barker had the ability to meet someone, a customer, and immediately know what to say in order to sway their opinion favorable to his goal.

This is who our president is--a huckster, a carnival barker, a media genius.  This individual managed to play the media, my beloved CNN to a degree that he ended up controlling everything.

Ronnie has always loved Wolf Blitzer

Let me give an example..........


Always watching the news with the run up to the election and the Belgian Airport crisis happened.  Unfortunately for the listeners and those wanting information this happened at exactly the same time donald and Ted Cruz were in a Twitter war exchanging insults about the "look" of their wives.

CNN had a panel about the elections, it may have been the night of a primary.......

They must have spent at least 30 seconds talking about the Belgian catastrophe, but no, they immediately went back to talking about the tweets of the waring candidates and their wives.

It was annoying and unfair to the watcher.  This was not news by any means but CNN promoted it big time.

Historian Douglas Brinkley commented later.........Hillary Clinton and John Kasich were the only two of the giant group running that made statements that were reassuring to the American public and sounded presidential and had a plan about what to do.

CNN and all of the other news groups made an error and the public is paying for it.  They fore sake actual pertinent information for ratings.

The networks dished the donald up for us but the consumers will be the ones to pay for it.

Shall we start with health care.....Planned Parenthood.

What is news--let the networks take a look now and reevaluate their coverage.

Good Show Bill Press--well done.
