Let’s place bets on the moniker Trump will insult Stern with when he rages after.
I’m going with ‘STUPID STERN’ because it’s simple stuff for a simpleton bully.
Howard the coward 👐
Too advanced for trump
Yeah Ole One Pump Trump
Stern was immediately condemned in Denver. In the Denver Rocky Mountain News, editors said, “Either we are serious about showing respect for the dead and their families or we aren’t. Either we care about the quality of our culture or we don’t."
Well, 25 years of school shootings later would suggest that we do not much for the quality of our culture at all.

He’s in the US, School shootings are a joke.
I’m guessing you are not in the US, then. What country are you in?

Republicans have accepted them. People with actual heads on their shoulders have not. But the NRA has too much fucking power and influence.
The whole accepting deaths from car collisions is also a bit fucked up tbh
I would have never thought I’d have seen the day a Lemmy user unironically cited American Family Association crying about a radio joke in a political thread. But here we are!
Who is the AFA?
AFA is the American Family Association, they’re the ones leading the charge on things like Bud Light and Target boycotts. Seems like that link was part of a similar campaign.
Howard Stern has changed a lot in 25 years.
I haven’t listened in years, but even a decade-plus ago, you could tell he was desperate to be taken seriously as an interviewer.
Now, to be fair, with the right subject he could weave together empty-headed sex and gossip questions he knew would never get a real answer with questions that were probing but felt less invasive by comparison, and then use that to get some interesting answers. Any modestly savvy interviewee would know this was the schtick, though, and reveal exactly as much as they wanted, but even then it made it a safe place to “off brand” a bit.
I don’t know how many of the accoutrements of peak Howard Stern are still around, but I presume this is still a move by Harris to whittle a couple of points off Trump’s lead among white men in Pennsylvania, but with a host who is WAY over any fondness for Donald Trump.
Let’s hope he asks why the US (a superpower) seems to be inept at reigning in their attack dog in the middle east. For a country that is dependent on the US, Israël seems to be getting a better deal in terms of strings attached (or lack thereof) than Ukraine or even US citizens when they get something from the US.

I’m out of touch, what’s off with this?
This would have been unthinkable with Howard Stern from his peak shock jock era.
Yeah. It was a different time, when the general public had the disposition of a myotonic goat. I don’t think any of his stuff would seem shocking by today’s standards.

Guess I was too in touch, then
TBF Joe Biden was on his show before
All I know about Howard Stern is that time he had a serial killer call in to his show
This is big news because Harris doesn’t give interviews
Harris about to drop the fact that she’s been a listener for thirty years. Dirtbag phase incoming.
Yeah that’s on-brand for her.
Ew
