Michael Savage is a radio talk show host on the Talk Radio Network. He's in the news for saying some controversial, naw, stupid, things about autistic children. Our government says that an average of one in 150 children suffers from autism. Last Wednesday on his syndicated talk show, Savage said that greedy doctors and drug companies are over diagnosing autism and creating a national panic. So far, some of what he says may be partially correct, until he goes off the deep end. His words: "In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out." He continues: "What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, `Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, you idiot.'"
The guy is very popular for his anti gay and anti immigration and anti etc. opinions.
My opinion? Talk Radio is more than information, it's entertainment, too. To be successful, you need to be different. Some people choose to be more and more shocking. More and more shocking is easier than being more and more intelligent.
