John DePetro

Anybody catch this hack filling in for Savage week before last? I suppose he's better known on the E. coast.  I googled him and found that he was in trouble for some fake Arbitron diaries in 2008.  Details came out during a messy divorce.  He also had some sexual harrassment problems.  This is funny because Savage still ridicules Bill O'Reilly for his sexual harassment peccadillos. One of the things I'm really starting to hate about talk radio is the hypocrisy and double standards.

Anyway, one of the things that bothered me about DePetro week before last was he spent the better part of three hours talking about a NY Daily News story about overage people in schools in Lynn MA.  This is a worthwhile subject, but not for three hours.  It was also quite creepy the way he fixated on the sexual overtones of overage men in school with minor teenaged girls.  When somebody harps and harps on something like that, it suggests that they're getting off on it.

I didn't hear him but I think you have to treat radio hosts like one does Hollywood actors. They are entertainers but their ideas might be total bs, misguided, or just plain wrong. They could also be right but they are playing a role. I'm sure some believe it but how can you tell they aren't just playing a character? But if it is a good character or good entertainment then ok.
ps: that creepy fascination with the underage girls reminds of a recent Norry C2C show in which the guest mentioned some 14 year old girl being sexually active and George exclaimed, creepily, "that's jailbate" and snickered.

Yes, that's exactly what it reminded me of--can't think of the name of the guest--I think he's a semi-regular.

The creepy exchange happened last time David Wilcock, who is a regular, was on. And it was about a 6th grade girl so even younger than I thought I guess. It was an odd show and several weird/creepy exchanges in it.

Wilcock, yes, thanks.

John Depetro is a complete scumbag, and the main reason talk radio in Rhode Island is in the state it's in. Unlistenable.
