Was he ever relevant? He seems to give himself a lot of credit for WEEI's success but I'm not sure it's deserved.
I can’t imagine he’s making much, Kirk through some “oh yeah when you’ll work for $40k” at him today during the nonsense.
Yeah, you really can't dispute that the ratings surge (for better or worse) for the AM show -- particularly with younger audience -- started during his tenure as a permanent host of "Kirk and Callahan".
He's such a tough guy though. Reminds me of the time he challenged Fred to a SPORTZ DEBATE.
Is there some kind history between them? I'l be honest I don't think I'd even heard her name before but I also don't read the Globe. I'm not sure why anyone would waste their time debating Kirk Minihane - there's an infinitesimal chance he would have an honest debate and not devolve into just shouting at someone.
She called aloof their sponsors and asked if they were going to continue.
The topic is "Why do some men think that criticism of their work by a woman is a threat to their sperm count"?
So you're ok with people with public platforms putting out whatever they want without having to be questioned on it. That's scary, and in line with what the Red Sox/ Globe relationship is doing right now.Ya, not responding to every asshole who challenges you to a fight is cowardice.
Because tough guy Kirk reached out to all the people he shat on every day.
People "question" other people's writing and public speaking all the time without some fake tough guy "debate."
There’s grades and barriers here. Hot takes, ass holery and belligerence do not deserve response, especially when it won’t be an honest exchange. Why should someone calling him out on it afford him an opportunity he never would, especially when it’s almost certainly in bad faith?
I didn’t see the article and don’t know the back story, but I’d ask why on earth anyone would agree to have a ‘debate’ with KM? Does one not see where that ends up? How is she being awful exactly? And when does he answer for any attacks he makes on anyone else? Because they’re daily and much more direct.
As to her actions, so what? I called many of Michael savage's tv advertisers hoping to get him cancelled.
End what?
I dont think that's necessarily true. One can certainly form an opinion about things through the accounts of others.
Does one express that opinion while writing op-eds for the Boston Globe?
I think op-ed writers have been forming opinions based on things other than first hand accounts throughout history. You are right, though. She could have confirmed her opinion by listening. But then the reaction is "well, that was one day (or one week or one month)." It would never be enough. Or she could read a well-chronicled history and form an opinion.
I think that this is the one that has Minihane all a twitter. Or he could be talking about this one, but I think it's the former because that one was published recently. And TBH, I don't think either column is that bad. You don't have to listen to the entirety of the Kirk and Callahan show to know that they're both complete assholes.
It really it is.
I hear Father Coughlin was quite a guy. But I never heard his program, so whatevs.
