Not that I'm disagreeing, but could you possibly be a wee bit more specific?

Birds of a feather flock together.

Tom lending anyone credibility? I would think appearing on or being mentioned on his show would do quite the opposite.

Because they are available and willing to be on?

I've never heard Roten but my experience with small market talk...oh...flashbacks...no!...

He has a certain person from Putnam County on every so often and this person claims to be a credible journalist. He continually trashes public officials about their personal and professional lives. Yet if the truth were to be known he has some legal skeletons in his own closet. Some of them are very recent and would show that he is almost certifiable. Ask some folks down in the Huntington/Cabell County area about his behavior and harrassment of a few particlar agencies. Tom lets this bozo on the show and has a "normal" conversation, but the people listening have no idea of this guys history.
Harry Doyle: One hit. That's all we got, one Goddamn hit?!
Monte: You can't say "Goddamn" on the air.
Harry Doyle: Don't worry. Nobody's listening anyway.

You talkin' 'bout Hallburn?

Hallburn comes and goes on the show. He'll be on three times in a week then disappear for a month.

It's not like anyone cares what he's talking about, WZZW drew a 0 in the book so no one's listening to Roten up that way.
