LOL its a " war" now

So much whatever.

[Dateline]

Ah, so the name is Leo ASScraft.  Explains everything.

[AppealPlay]

I'm gonna go make some popcorn.

[LadyFish]

(redacted) would need someone to help collate weird news. But I agree she'd be great at this.

I just went over & checked out Leo's website for the first time. It basically is a compilation of odd news, very similar to what is already on artbell.com - which helps me to understand Keith's point of view that it is " competition".   

Perhaps it would be a win- win situation for Art, if who ever is the new newsreader,  (redacted) would be excellent, collaborated with Keith to utilize the  artbell.com website news stories, rather than a separate site. Maybe instead of dark matter news, rebrand as midnight news or something catchy that relates back to art bell & midnight in the desert.

Now that I think of it, I don't know why Ashcraft was on MITD. I mean, dude's not even a BellGabber. WTF?

Someone invite him here.
This could be fun.

Seriously.  I want to hear about these magical FCC violations that came out of nowhere. :

[popple]

He just turned out to be another chump trying to use Art as a springboard. Is he going to keep the Dark Matter News name for his upcoming 3 hour show? :

Are we sure leo isn't that poster that started talking shit to MV ?

[Kolchak]

What I find puzzling are all the people just blindly showering him with support on his page. Where did this allegiance come from? We obviously don't have the full story.

Also, he's calling one of the people who wrote news copy for him (without pay) a "rat." I wonder who that is.

SOCK PUPPETS

SOCK PUPPETS

IT'S THAT DAMN COASTER AGAIN

[albrecht]

SOCK PUPPETS

They are more properly called para-legals these days, or so I figure.

[Waco Kid]

So in addition to green which mean time and carbon dee oxide, there was also…

Tuten-Coo-Men for Tutankhamun.

And most shockingly of all, Rooters for Reuters.

Seriously, he calls himself a news reader and investigative journalist and he can't pronounce one of the worlds biggest news agencies? Ridiculous. Hard to believe he wasn't just trolling hard.

And last but not least, there was this gem the other night…

"Will it ever be possible to transmit data without a cable?"

Let me know if this is ever possible, Leo. Then we can all finally stop driving around with 30 miles of spooled Cat-5 attached to our cellphones.

Too funny.

Yeah, I was hoping this thread would be a good repository for Ash-crashes, but, personally, it was so hard not to fast-forward through DMN, I became a lousy compiler. 

[Autistic Star Children]

Leo is willing to do the gabcast. I straight up asked him on facebook. After I asked him, he then went into much detail. He said 1000s are by his side. If that is true, I wonder why he dedicated so much time to answering my two questions.  When I told him my stance on "him or me" situations, he understood but said it's not the truth.

Anyways, I'm not associated with bellgab other than being a poster, so it was not my place to invite him to the gabcast, so if there's an audience for it (I'm sure it would do well) the opportunity is out there.

If no takers, hell I'll interview him. I like Art, but not part of his cult. Art chose to air his grievances on live radio, it's only fair Leo gets the same.

[Kolchak]

Quick! Drop Keith a line and get ready to rumble.

[ZomZom]

Does anyone have a pic of what Leo looks like?  I'm having a hard time connecting the voice to these actions and a face might help. Or not.

[BobGrau]

Just a guess, but it sounds like somebody's three-month trial period was up and they tried to hold out for more cash.

[nbirnes]

Too funny.

My favorite was the mangling of Elton John's album title. Leo called it "Don't Shoot Me, I'm the Only Piano Player." Minor, but oh so sloppy.

[Rocky4228]

This reminds my of what happened in January on the Adam Carolla show with his news girl Alison Rosen.  I don't think I'll be boycotting the show over this incident, however.

[Bobbysaltereg0]

I dont have time to read this. Can someone explain this in a nutshell.? One paragraph. I heard the show last night.Just a nutshell of the whole event and the outcome.

[WhiteCrow]

If one person says Keith is a dick, most likely there is just a personality conflict. If two people tell you Keith is a dick, Keith might be having a bad day. If several people tell you Keith is a dick, Keith is a dick.

Late to the party.. But that's a bit harsh. So what if Keith is a bit unsufferable. Got'a consider all the good he has done, when judging him. And Art got'a run with what works for him and he is comfortable with.

Leo Ashcraft is leaving MITD citing differences with Keith Rowland and bringing Dark Matter News to his own "network." After this announcement he melted down on Facebook, claiming to have worked 20 hours a day on DMN without compensation, calling Art and Kieth thieves and claiming Art violated FCC regulations. At the time of this report, the outcome remains in flux. I'm Kolchak, and this has been Bellgab News.

Well what about Art saying he was offered more from Coast and Leo saying he wasnt?

You've got this bass ackwards. It was Leo who FIRST went Public on Facebook with his "Girly-man"Rants, Art merely responded AFTER THAT FACT !

These are the same people who say they enjoy listening to both Art & George and can't even tell what shit George is in comparison. "There is room for both"

I am hoping they are sock puppets though.

Honestly, it just sounded like Art was explaining the situation... he wasn't trashing. If he was trashing anyone it was pointing out Coast was trying to poach from the network again  :

[lamr]

I wonder when people will get a clue about flouncing on the internet? It is neither big, nor clever and it reflects badly when you do it in a professional capacity. (Beloved host of MITD has not done this it appears, thankfully)

Get John B wells to do the dark matter news. He has a better voice anyway...
