As "The Squad" thrills extreme left-wingers, torches traditional liberals, and irks right wingers, a prominent liberal media voice is trying to slow the roll of the Four Horsewomen of Wokeback Mountain.

Matt Jones bounced from TV until he decides whether he’ll run for senate
Lexington's WLEX-TV pulled Ky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones from his nightly TV show called Hey Kentucky. Jones suggested in an interview with me that political foes pushed the TV station to bench Jones or risk the loss of commercial revenue from PACs aiming to support other Democrats in the 2020 senate race. I did an interview with @terrymeiners about the @hey_kentucky situation. Listen if you are so inclined Also does anyone have a good Pike County dinner recommendation? https://t.co/FCpVfRtZwF— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) July 16, 2019 Journalist Al Cross says Matt Jones has an unfair advantage with his multiple media platforms, but that Jones "is not a journalist, he's an entertainer." In the 840WHAS Radio interview, Jones talked of
It’s been one year since John Schnatter’s n-word destroyed his legacy. He has one path to public redemption.
One year ago, "Papa John" Schnatter contacted me to interview him on the radio. Schnatter's glorious life was unraveling after intense blowback from the pizza magnate's use of the n-word on a training call. The interview got national media attention and online snark but Schnatter's freefall was in an unstoppable plunge. Instead of reversing the narrative, our 28 minute chat only solidified the image that Papa John wasn't ready to sincerely apologize. He said that was coerced into saying the n-word by people who were out to get him banished. But it was Schnatter who was at fault. All he needed to do was literally say "n-word" instead of saying the actual word. But he chose to use the nuclear bomb

Mitch McConnell on Bevin’s tight primary win, impeachment value for GOP, Trump vs Pelosi, and vaping teens
After a surprisingly close primary win for Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, I asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell if he would offer support for Bevin's re-election in the November general election. McConnell and Bevin have a complicated relationship stemming back to Bevin's campaign to unseat McConnell in 2014. The McConnell team labeled their opponent Bailout Bevin, calling him a con man and liar. Today on WHAS Radio, Senator McConnell promised to fully support Bevin's re-election. Kentucky's senior senator also touted attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron, a former McConnell staffer. Kentucky has not had a Republican attorney general since the 1940s. 📻 @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell on helping @GovMattBevin win in November, acrimony between @realDonaldTrump & @SpeakerPelosi, value of impeachment for @GOP, and raising cigs
McConnell zings Dems’ Derby pick, eager to run against socialism in 2020
📻 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell jumped on the radio with me to talk about chicken chomping Democrats, why he is proudly called The Grim Reaper, defining socialism in 2019, if investigating the investigators is overkill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling AG William Barr a criminal, Sen. Mazie Hirono lobbing 🔥 at Trump, just WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE!, and Liberals' favorite Kentucky Derby horse 🎙️ 🏇🏽 840WHAS #USpolitics
Jeremy Kappell misspoke and lost his job. This meteorologist refuses to fade into the sunset.
📻 Here's meteorologist Jeremy Kappell on his lawsuit vs Rochester's WHEC, the cruel actions of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren & gutless TV general manager Dick Reingold, support from Al Roker, Don Lemon, Craig Melvin, and Rochester viewers, other weather people mispronouncing MLK without a beatdown, and how public shaming strengthened Jeremy's family & faith 🎙️ #bullies #media DETAILS on the Kappell website. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren demanded Jeremy Kappell's firing without ever speaking to him or communicating with him in any capacity. Mayor Warren understands forgiveness as she is married to a man who drove the getaway car in a jewelry store robbery 20 years ago. She also defended a Rochester council member accused of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars,
