Now, he's back solo as a local talk radio commentator 10 hours per week:

Raggin' on their asses every day......Some fun.

You must be the only one listening.

Their station is 15th out of 19 in the local market. Even his own station demoted him to the mid-afternoon time slot.

I think he started this thread just so he could promote himself and his show. It looks like a desperate effort to get listeners.

We should ban him for spamming.

Holy crap. That's a big dropoff in listeners. The station went from a 3.2 share to a 2.6 in a matter of months.

And it's getting beat nearly 3-to-1 by KRMG.

Look no doubting we are not getting the sharpest knives in the drawer when it comes to our pols. I know EZ-E is a fan of mine, so it is not easy for me to be critical but no doubt he should have voted no and incurred the wrath of The Machine. This is a bipartisan boondoggle so yeah he sucks now, too.

Okay, wiseacres, why would Eagleton see the wisdom of this? You think he is beholdin' to the oligarchy? Or is he too one of the sheeple? I never saw him as one to wantonly waste the taxpayers money and his past behaviors during the river tax lead one to believe he is not easily influenced by the nobility. Is he tainted too?

Yeah, I noticed this, too. Eagleton's been known as a maverick ever since he came on the council. I'm much less inclined to think the settlement's a bad idea if he supported it.

And he's an attorney. He knows the pluses and minuses behind this thing a lot better than the armchair lawyers on this board.

[tim huntzinger]

So a bunch of attorneys come up with a solution that protects the attorney who - by all accounts - is the one who should have known better.  And because we detractors of the decision do not have JD's, we are stoopid poop heads? Come on!

Where did EZ-E get his degree anyway? Hells bells I do believe the loony left is trying to discredit the ORU/CBN crowd at every opportunity, but now he is possessed by sage-like wisdom?? Get real!

I don't care where he got his JD as long as it wasn't by mail. I criticize Eagleton for a lot and am totally from a different background but he is straight arrow and not easily taken in by anyone or anything. I respect him. But I guess you only support those who agree with you.

By that logic, you should be banned for incessantly spamming the rest of us with your spin on behalf the Taylor administration to try to reverse their sinking approval ratings. It certainly serves your self interest, both personal and professional, to do so considering the numerous conflicts of interests you, wifey,  and the Family LLC have. Hell, you have your own trust with the city, no wonder you would be in favor of a settlement that allows a trust to get off the hook and leave the taxpayers holding the bag. I can't say I blame you for putting your own self interest ahead of the public, as a matter of fact, I'd be shocked if you did otherwise.

You reliable calls to ban the public from this public forum show the contempt and disregard you have for the public, public discourse, and public debate in general. Tulsans have had your  nauseating, trust us we know what's best, golden rule governance(those who have the gold, make the rules) shoved down our throats and force fed to us for too long. We are going to puke our guts out all over the elitist establishment running this city.

Even if it's easy to be free
What's your definition of freedom?
And who the **** are you, anyway?
Who the **** are they?
Who the **** am I to say?
What the **** is really going on?
How did the cat get so fat?
Why does the family die?
Do you care why?
Cause there hasn't been a sign
Of anything gettin' better in the ghetto
People's fed up
But when they get up
You point your ****in' finger
You racist, you bigot
But that's not the problem
Now is it?
It's all about the money
Political power is takin
Protecting the rich, denying the poor
Yeah, they love to watch the war from their Mansions
And I wonder...
How can they sleep at night?
How can they sleep at night?
How did the cat get so fat?
How did the cat get so fat?
How did the cat get so fat?

You would think that losing 20% of your audience would always be bad. But being a station that talks politics all day long losing that much during an election year makes it awful.

I think it is a matter of time before they start playing oldies or Hispanic pop songs.

One of Eagletons ideas he sent the city council before his election:

quote: Allow the Bank of Oklahoma to provide financing on the overrun for
the arena and the building of the bridge (the IVI one), earning a fair market value
in exchange for dismissing their lawsuit against the Tulsa Airport
Authority Trust.

Way to deflect there, big boy.

That is correct.  Especially over public policy issues when the person in question is an elected official.  I am not suggesting any impropriety other than one set of lawyers is giving another lawyer a huge break - he can be straight as an arrow but if he is shooting in the wrong direction it matters not.  We can disagree on Coke vs. Pepsi, Ford vs. Chevy or what not but this is a wee bit different, no?

I think it's best we let CM spam through here. I sure as the devil will not listen to any Foxed News. While we were provided an inside scoop we attempted to make it fair and balanced.

This is a substantive public policy issue and belongs here. An admin for this site should not be making such dismissive comments and threats. Your attitude does not promote public discourse.

Find a better shil or you take the lead MB and then Medlock's conflict of interest won't be so obvious or odorous.

[RecycleMichael]

There is a big difference between discussing the topic and directing people to his radio show and his blog.

His first post says to listen to his show (because you were going to be on it) and his second tries to direct people to leave this forum and go to his blog.

I have no problem with public discussion, but these two posts seem to promote him more than discussing the topic on this forum.

I have posted my website as a response for questions or for information. I think that is different than starting a thread directing people to listen to him.

The conflation, distortion, and whining doesn't do much for the level of discourse either, Michael.  Whatever "substance" there was became impossible to discern once you guys started pumping out the poo.  So climb off your high horse and enjoy the smell down here; you helped make it.
