Golf Channel Hits New Low

PrintI guess the Golf channel assumes all golfers are Republicans.
But, I admit it; The GolfBookie is a Democrat! As such, it pisses me off to have the Golf Channel hosting Rush Limbaugh on the Hank Haney Show. It’s bad enough that he gets to bloviate on his own show; do we really have to see this bigoted hypocrite on the only channel dedicated to golf? You lost me,and I imagine a few others, Haney!

But...
we get to see Rush for the arrogant, ignorant, fool that he is in real life, without 8 producers in his ear to make his mouth move. You’d think with all that money he could pay someone to swing the club for him. Holy Crap, I was better when I was 10 years old, & had to sneak on the local muni on the 4th tee, because I didn’t have the 75 cents to play.
I've been known to be opinionated.
waaaaaawwwaaaawaaaaaawwwwwwwaaaaaaaaawwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
At least we can be sure that Bookie is telling the truth that he’s a crybaby liberal.
hey Bookie – he’s a 60 year old who took up the game in his 40’s and has very little time to actually practice. Nobody actually cares how good you were at age 10 – things like golf are a lot easier to learn at that age. The idea of this project is to have a well known celebrity who wants to get better at golf. Limbaugh has the largest radio audience in the world. What xxx Golf Channel is trying to do is draw some of that audience to the channel to boost their ratings and maybe get some new regular viewers.
Did you lose this much sleep over a half hour show when Barkley or Romano were on ?
Something else to consider ? Because of guys like Limbaugh, you’re still allowed to watch or not watch any show you want.
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
Facinating reading about Limbaugh
but the worlds largest radio audience belongs to the BBC world service..over 40 million in the English version alone..over 200 million in 32 languages.
yes – public radio here tries to make that claim, too – then they ask for donations (because nobody is listening and nobody wants to advertise there) :-D
Doesn’t BBC World run different channels ? (total audience is huge) They also run 24/7 – not a 3 hour show in one language beamed around the world.
I tune in to BBC Radio during Wimbledon. They have a blast calling the matches.

They have 15 second spot mentions for certain donators

BBC is funded by taxpaers in Britain

Wrong mate
The BBC is a corporation, but it’s funding is government controlled. The BBC occupies an unique position in that it is not owned by anyone. You can’t paint the world with an American brush all the time.
think what you like – just because the government has no reason to publically control what goes on at the BBC at the moment doesn’t mean that if something happens they don’t like, they won’t pull the plug. Taxpayer dollars are still in the hands of the government, no matter what you want to believe.

Court, I have to side with Easing on this one. He’s right…the BBC is fiercely independent and is politically safe from tampering in Parliament.

Each political party in power always accuses
the BBC of slightly leaning towards the other side, mainly because they can’t take criticism or robust (some would say too robust) questioning of politicians who appear on it.
just curious – any idea how many different parties get elected into Parliament ? I know it seems like the PM gets elected from one of three main parties, but aren’t there a lot of parties that get representatives in office ?
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
One of 2 usually.
Labour ( Democrats to you ) or Conservative ( Republicans ) This time there was no majority, so Conservative and the Liberals formed a coalition Government. There are MP’s from other parties, but the party with the majority rule.
But you are still wrong about the BBC.
Over here, we have Dems and Reps, of course – but only once in a while does a different party get someone in office. We’ve seen a few Libertarians in low offices – and Vermont actually elected a guy in a Socialist/Communist party into a major office. (the Tea Party isn’t an official party)
ok ok – I’m wrong about the BBC…until someone gets in government who wants control. (ducking) :-) We’ve had two presidents who have hinted at passing legislation that would put most of our radio broadcasting companies under direct governmental oversight. They called the “Fairness Doctrine” which would force a station that has, for example, three hours of Rush Limbaugh, to do three hours of some liberal talk show….even though the market has proven several times that liberal talk radio doesn’t work. The idea behind the legislation is to shut down conservative talk shows because liberal talk shows don’t make enough money to pay the bills – so you either have to go into debt to fund the liberals to keep the profitable conservative show – or you get rid of the conservative show….which is the goal of the legislation. Thankfully, the Fairness Doctrine has been beaten down every time.

I agree there
Limbaugh can say what he wants, but he shouldn’t be muzzled so others can have as much air time. Plus, people don’t have to agree with him. But a lot are gullable as well. Was he out of order for attacking M J Fox ?
Fix the time line – Michael J Fox started it with his comments – Limbaugh stated his disagreement with Fox’s statement. Then the liberal media jumped all over Limbaugh, accusing him of picking on a guy with a disease. Limbaugh fired back saying that just because a guy has a disease doesn’t mean you get to say whatever you want without disagreement.
He wasn’t attacking Fox. Fox hasn’t complained that Limbaugh was picking on him. It was the media that caused the problem, and Limbaugh fired back at them.
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201101110029
The same thing happened when Limbaugh was on Monday Night Football. He was asked a question about Donovan McNabb (Philadelphia Eagles quarterback at the time – and he is black). Limbaugh said that the media doesn’t give an honest appraisal of his performances of late because they wanted a successful black quarterback. He was immediately attacked as a racist….but he never said anything about McNabb aside from the point that he hadn’t been playing well…which he hadn’t. He was fired because of what the media did to what he said.
Fox is one gutsy guy in my book – he hasn’t let his problem keep him from working in front of the camera.

over here, the FCC (a government agency) held up a merger between Sirius and XM satellite radio. They are private, subscription based services. The FCC held up the merger for almost 2 years demanding that they add liberal talk shows to “balance” the conservative shows, even though they had numbers to prove that their customers didn’t want those channels.
that merger set a new record for government approval by more than 18 months. The previous record was a merger between two major oil companies.
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
I may have some insight on this
The main reason the merger took so long is the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters; the lobbying group for terrestrial stations) pulled every favor they could to derail the merger. By the way, the funniest part of the hearings was hearing anowner of multiple stations in the midwest admit he was a satellite radio subscriber becasue where he lived he couldn’t get a signal from any of his stations.
The reason the government was involved was becasue both companies leased space on the national spectrum to distribte cotnent. And I am sure keeping the two companies apart was part of the original lease agreement.
There wasn’t a decree to add liberal talk shows for balance. There was an agreement to provide space on the dial for, as they say, underserved customers (Native Americans, Latinos, etc.)
LMAO !! I have heard a lot of stories about the terrestrial owners “lobbying” the FCC against the merger – but that could be the best one yet.
The companies were definitely pushed to add liberal shows to balance the conservative shows – that’s where the agreement came from.
The whole thing made no sense because it’s a subscription service – you have to choose to listen to Sirius or XM – terrestrial radio wasn’t threatened in any way – but it was funny to hear them try to make that case.
Howard Stern was at his funniest taking the credit for the terrestrial owners pushing the FCC to stop the merger.

Golfbookie.....Randy......typical liberals!
If someone has something to say that doesn’t fit your liberal bias, they shouldn’t be allowed to speak. Give me a break. The problem for you is that no one wants to listen to your lefty radio hosts. Rush and Hannity and other conservative radio shows have 10’s and 10’s of millions of listeners and you can’t handle it. Rush makes $100mil a year, I’ll bet he would send you 75 cents so you can play another round, shoot, give me your address and I’ll send you a buck…….If you both had just said you didn’t like him and wouldn’t watch, you might of kept some credibility, but your name calling and hatred shows you for what you really are.

LOL I'm not a fan of the Haney project or Big Pants Limbaugh
"pain is only weakness leaving the body" jumpn
fan or not – this has been pretty entertainnig because Limbaugh admits that he doesn’t know a whole lot about the golf swing and that everybody else knows more than he does – so the reactions he gives when he gets something right are classic. Even funnier is when Haney tries to tell him that he’s doing something wrong, then Limbaugh hits it his way first before trying Haney’s way, and he holes out a shot.
I didn’t think it was going to be very entertaining either, thinking he might be like Romano, trying to perform all the time, but he’s giving a pretty honest effort.

Nice ! Looked like a beautiful place.
I know what you mean – I thought Haney was way off with Barkley – a horrible job of coaching. Romano was a headcase who didn’t want to pay attention. Almost nothing that they worked on lasted even 7 months up to Pebble this weekend.

I quit watching Romano after a couple of episodes.....
it grew tiring very quickly. Barkley was a little different, as I actually was hoping he would figure it out. I was cheering for him even though I don’t like him, but……no one should be that bad…..arrgggggh.
It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to go back.
The Saints were the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS for a year...hope I don't have to wait another 44 years for #2....WHO DAT!......:)
I was shocked at how Haney handled Barkley. He laughed at Barkley’s story of how he went from being a 10 handicap to someone who looked like he was having a seizure. Every pro who looked at him said it was between the ears – not physical. The guy can do everything else but swing a golf club – and Haney insisted on swing drills. My first thought was to switch to left handed…and guess what he’s doing a year after he left Haney ? Yep – swinging left handed.

Yikes it's 2:30 am
I’ve had my share of weight problems EM, no doubt about it. Especially when I left the ring and stopped working out. Just two years ago I was 40 lbs overweight from all my traveling and eating out everyday, plus the parties, drinking and blah blah blah. So rather than keep bitching at myself about it, I did something about it. It took me a year but I did it. Em I know your a stonch Republican and all, but like i said, I’m not a fan of Rush, just like your not a fan of tiger. The world would be a very boring place if everyone liked the same thing. :o)

It's a pendulum court
swings one way, then the other..both have to be held in check…the far left or right have no place if there is to be compromise in society.
Interesting reading about the Clear Channel Communications who pay Limbaugh 50 million a year. Using actors for phone in topics and some censorship on political matters damages it’s integrity in being objective. Using radio to promote political beliefs has to be gaurded against, left unchecked, one would end up with state radio in a dictatorship.
maybe that’s how it is in the UK – and I doubt that it is – as much as you hate to admit it, even the far left and right have to have a place…the trick seems to be to get them to behave themselves. :-D
Not sure where you get the “actors” calling into the Limbaugh show, but yes, Clear Channel puts clamps on all kinds of things and they have lost a lot of good employees because of their company policies. They keep moving closer and cloesr to all automated programming on the music side.
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
Just something I read about them
Apparently they( Clear Channel ) were accused of employing actors for phone ins, etc.
As for compromise, that is a basic human requirement to survive in this world and the far right (Hitler ) and the far left ( Stalin ) only destroy it.
sounds like what you’re talking about are the liberals who pretend not to be liberals, but eventually give themselves away – which is always strange because Limbaugh constantly invites liberals to call in. not that they are actors, they are acting like they are regular listeners – not liberals. funny thing is that he puts liberals at the top of the call list. they go before regular callers.
depends on the compromise. it was compromise that allowed Hitler and Stalin to rise to the level they did.
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
True enough
Nevertheless, it’s fundamental in survival.
You sure they are Liberals ? Or just right wingers painting a picture listeners will fall for ? Not the first time that has happened.
nope – it’s pretty hard to stay in character with some of the nutjobs that call in (lol) When someone is faking, you can usually tell because they exaggerate things too much.

The guy does do a lot of very good analysis, and if you appreciate his humor its an entertaining show – but like you say – it can get to be a bit of an overload after a while.

I can see why he is popular
He seems to say whats on his mind…in these times of PC, thats a good thing, even if I don’t agree with him.
yep – and over here, he really is a pretty fair anchor to have when there are guys like Clinton and Obama getting elected using language that sounds good but doesn’t mean anything – but they hide their actions that give away what they really want to do in office.
If Limbaugh didn’t go so far with the entertainment part of his show, he would be pushed to run for office. He comes from a long line of extremely successful and respected lawyers.
He’s really putting in some work on this Hank Haney Project and showing improvement. He asks a lot of questions and he’s getting Haney to actually teach on camera – something he didn’t do in the other two. It’s funny watching a guy who’s tag line for years is “doing my show with one hand tied behind my back just to make it fair for you liberals” look like a little kid during this show. He’s really excited to be getting these lessons. Wish you could see it.

I’m a registered Democrat and have no problem having Limbaugh or anyone else being interviewed about golf on any channel. It’s a sport that appeals to a broad audience, and why not talk to interesting people from various walks of life about how the game affects them?

Better still - I'm not cooking tonight
He did get me to whip up the Yorkshire pudding mixture though.
Do you eat hot horseradish sauce with roast beef in US?
Not usually – I like the taste of a good roast beast by itself. Horseradish covers too much of the meat taste for me.

well, gb, sometimes an off base, off the wall statement sparks some fun conversation on here – but careful with the self flattery – this is a golf board with a lot of people who like different things. (if you want to get on Stub’s good side – just ask him for a good martini recipe and a cigar to try) :-D
I get a kick out of someone throws a grenade into a crowd, then calls the people in the crowd “reactionary”. Technically, the crowd is reacting, but they certainly didn’t ask for someone to come in out of the blue and start trouble.
And – by the way – the golfbookie site looks pretty cool for a bunch of folks who play regularly. Nice job !

Thanks, Courtgolf
Thanks for the nice comment on the site…….from a good Democrat who loves his President…….ka BOOM!
ENOUGH ALREADY
This is a golf blog…How do we get trapped into making it “political”? I’m done on this topic.
Golf is sacred! No cell phones, No politics!!
I've been known to be opinionated.

Saved a fortune over the last couple of years
buying “virtual” drinks, so can now afford to buy you a real pint or two ;o) Mine’s still a half, though.
Least I can do
even tho’ you’re on shorts! Come to The Golden Lion in Southwick, where Ike and Monty (no, not that one) planned the D-Day Landings, so you know you’d get a warm welcome there.
Reading about HMS Dryad, Wendy
I was based there for a stint in the ’70’s. We went into the room where they planned D day. I didn’t realise it closed in ‘04. I’m almost a fossil :)
Yes, transferred to HMS Collingwood
but not the same atmosphere at all. Probable that the whole Southwick estate will be sold off.
Just an Idea, but why don't
you buy it and put in one of your farm produce sections and some formal gardens ?…STUB
