Meet Threatened Talk Show Host Stephanie Miller
Yesterday we did a post (see post chain link below) on progressive talker Stephanie Miller getting a death threat. Since some readers noted that they haven’t heard her, we found this GREAT You Tube clip (before she got her threat) where she talks about Air America’s bankruptcy and talk radio in general.
If you haven’t heard Miller (you can listen to some of her show via her website) she essentially does a fast-paced radio political comedy show that is a cross between Laugh In, a night at a comedy club and Don Imus. She makes no bones about where she’s coming from but you find yourself laughing out loud at her zingers, one-liners and sound effects. She’s picking up stations and is handled by the same network that handles the country’s top progressive talker, Ed Schultz.
But, most of all, she doesn’t have a mean or rant tone to her show (many talkers are perpetually outraged) but an ironic and satirical streak.
In this clip you’ll note that she PRAISES conservative talkers Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity as good broadcasters. She explains to Howard Kurtz why some talkers thrive and others will not and what would happen to Air America shows if the network folds:

I can’t believe she called herself “progressive” and then said that “capitalism is not a bad thing.”
What a hypocrite.
progressive = communism?
even socialist governments use capitalism to their advantage.
Stephanie is great. I listened to her a lot this summer on sat radio.
Anybody inspired to hate on her is a nut.
Yes, it’s really too bad that she doesn’t fit into your stereotypical world views.
satire people, satire
no worries Chris, I was trying to be snarky.
You do hear where she says she doesn’t get much hate mail right?
Mark my words, one of these days one of these pundits will be killed, there are nut jobs on both sides and plenty of opportunities. If you think the left/right rhetoric is bad now just wait.
OK, I’ve been reading a history of progressivism and I take my satire comment back – I meant it all.
I know for a fact she despises Ed Schultz and his evil twin Al Franken. That is a good thing.
MSNBC just announced that they are putting Stephanie Miller on next week in the time spot formerly held by Imus.
Oh, Oh, MSNBC just announced Stephanie Miller used three banned words today and as a result she has been fired from the spot she was hired to replace Imus on.
Further, Hillary Clinton has picked Alex Baldwin as her VP running mate and several more hip hop artists are sending her another $2,000,000 for her campaign.
