I’m often asked why I bother to keep an ear on Jay Severin and take the time to point out his lies and distortions. “He’s just an entertainer,” people say. “You can’t take everything he says at face value.” While some members of his audience might indeed see Severin as nothing more than comic relief, I’m afraid that he has far greater impact.
Take a look at this clip of health care reform protesters. These folks are in California, but if they lived in the Boston area, you know who their favorite talk show host would be.
These folks have a right to think and say whatever they want, but the idea that their opinions and behavior are affecting my life is downright scary.
