It is being reported that Howard Stern will be off the air soon. That SiriusXM is cancelling his show after the end of this year.
Not that many will notice.
Stern has become the Bruce Springsteen of radio; more finely, he (like Springsteen) revealed himself to be another Fake Rebel, who played his audience for decades. Both of these men pretended to be outsiders who championed the ordinary guy, when in fact they used the ordinary guy to amass riches and celebrity while laughing – behind the ordinary man’s back – all the way to the bank.
Stern’s case is especially egregious. He became famous – back in the ’80s – by pretending to be politically incorrect. Especially interesting was the way he deftly avoided the trap that snared the Greaseman, who was for a time the most popular, listened-to “shock jock” in Washington, DC. The Greaseman’s career was destroyed when he made the mistake of apologizing for making “insensitive” jokes about Martin Luther King and a rap singer named Lauren Hill. He ought to have told The Offended to turn off the radio and (to be blunt) Fuck Off.
Instead he went on an embarrassing apology tour that did to his credibility what Trump’s statements about nothing-to-see-here have done to his.
Howard Stern was just as obnoxious – but far less stupid. He immunized himself against accusations that he trafficked in “racist” humor – such as his Old Black OJ song parody (which is hilarious) and regular guest interviews with a former KKK Wizard named Daniel Carver (also hilarious) – by keeping a black female sidekick at his side and by never apologizing.
That as much as his off-color humor – which was often brilliant in the opinion of many – is arguably what led him to become the most popular, widely listened-to “shock jock” in the entire country. He went from regional – New York, then DC – to national. SiriusXM hired him 20 years ago when satellite radio was the new hot thing and rapidly eclipsing terrestrial radio as the medium of talk radio choice. His satellite show did well, in part because he was now free of the FCC and able to really be obnoxious in ways he was not able to be when he was on FM radio.
Then along came COVID.
Stern – like Springsteen and so many others who represented themselves as countercultural avatars who rejected Authority suddenly embraced authoritarianism. He not only publicly amen’d the forced wearing of Face Diapers, he viciously mocked those who questioned any aspect of the authoritarian “guidelines” imposed on Americans. “Freedom doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want,” he said. Except when it came to him being free ot say whatever he wanted to on the air.
Like “screw your freedoms” – as Arnold (another “anti-establishment” fraud exposed by COVID) said.
He made videos mocking people who stood up to the illegitimate Authority that oppressed an entire country for years. 
He went on to characterize people who would not bend to the pressure to get “vaccinated” as basically criminals who deserved to be treated as such. He kibbutzed with others of his ilk such as Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, the unfunny late night hosts who ruined late night TV.
He manifested his previously kept-in-check contempt for the ordinary man, in other words. COVID (and Trump) brought it all to the surface, for everyone to see and – in his case – to hear. Millions did not like what they heard. More deeply, they did not like what they began to understand about Stern. Which is that he is and probably always has been a fraud. His act was just that. A means to and end – his becoming rich and famous. He wheedled the dupes into believing he was basically just like them; i.e., an ordinary guy who mistrusted Authority and mocked its control freak tendencies and orthodoxies. Then the ordinary people discovered he was an authoritarian who pretended not to be. The worst sort of hypocrite, in other words.
“When are we going to stop putting up with the idiots in this country,” he mused?
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
It’s a shame, slightly. In the same way that it’s a shame we know the truth about Springsteen and Arnold and so many other Fallen Idols we once (many of us) thought were like us.
They aren’t. They never have been.
And now we know they aren’t.

Pushing your insane views on your fellow sheep is pathetic when you pretend to be a “rebel”. Being a spineless asskissing kike is not that virtuous.
“I have never wished a mans demise, but I have read a few obituaries that were not that upsetting “ Mark Twain
It’s Saturday, so the Jews have been fasting all day. Sunset was 8:02 PM in New York City today, the Jews have to eat, can’t escape the need, you’ll die if you don’t eat.
One has to wonder if Kikes roast a pig all day long on the Sabbath and have a feast after the sun has set, anyhow, you can think about it.
When Bibi pigs down, he eats like a pig.
Greenblatt orders bacon on line so nobody suspects he eats like a pig too.
Jews have to realize that when they are called Kikes, Hymies, Chosen (yeah, right), that those nouns are to be endearing to them, praising their greed and avarice, which is downright stupid, but nobody really cares.
What really gets their goat, they’re on their own now.
The Jews need to keep on living so everybody can mock and make fun of them. Especially the shithead Howard Stern.
It’s a lot of fun!
One can call a jew a kike, ambulance chaser, shyster, shylock, bankster or other derogatory term and it will “roll off his back like water off a duck”,
BUT…
Call a jew a “jew” and he will recoil in horror, having been “found out”…
That being said…
The key to beating jews at their own game is to use their own words against them.
I have successfully quoted judaic passages that endorse child rape, jewish supremacy, and genocide of gentiles to jews who have no answer. They are silent when these passages are brought up. Jews claim that these talmudic passages are either false or misinterpreted.
I wear a Palestinian keffiyeh in public.
This one act draws jews like moths to a flame.
When I am accosted by jews for displaying my support for Palestine, I tell them to f#ck off and go to occupied Palestine where hopefully they will get their heads blown off by a Palestinian or Gazan.
The incredulous, confused looks on their faces is priceless. You see, jews are not used to pushback, only acquiescence and deference from their opponents as jews claim to be “victims”, being opposed just because they are jews. We know better.
Since the jews are attempting to outlaw the First Amendment to the Constitution by weaponizing the government (seems I heard that before), silent protests at colleges and universities by thousands of keffiyeh wearers would send a silent but strong message.
Just another degenerate jew, dime a dozen. Fuck him.
Stern wasn’t the only hypocrite to be revealed by the COVID psy-op. He had lots of company. Ever hear people saying that if they had been alive in Europe in the early 1940s, they would have opposed the Nazis, they would have joined the Resistance? COVID showed that most of them would have supported the Nazis.
Yes, especially upon hearing and belieeeeeeeeeeeeving the narrative that the unvaxxed were a danger to public health and prolonging the COVID pandemic.
Seeing where Europe is today, especially the UK, I think many of us would have supported Adolph & Co.
Much of that could be said about Rush Limbaugh. He always presented himself as an entertainer. But…
Sept. 11 revealed his true Neo-Con soul.
He was noting more than an authoritarian at heart.
I liked him way more before & after the Bush administration, not so much during.
You know it! In fact ALL of the “conservative” talk radio guys are neocons. The jenno-cide in Gaza also has shown them to be Zionists. Mark Levin is the worst, and both type in spades. I think Michael Knowles and Candace Owens are the best we’ve got for now, but they are not Libertarian.
I really miss Charley Reese of the Orlando Sentinel, and Ron Smith of WBAL radio. Followed them for years. Those two have basically set my political belief system: which is old line (i.e. pre New Deal) conservatism.
Hi Tom,
Yup. I sometimes listen to Buck and Clay, but their shilling for Israel is just nauseating.
Some of Sterns material was funny but mostly cringy. Today I listen to an assortment of podcasts (including the ones mentioned on this site and others). Some of them make he laugh and other don’t but what they have in common is they don’t insult me.
Music is mostly in a range from mid 60’s to the mid 70’s, usually from bands no one remembers but still good music all the same. Think of The Seeds, The Electric Prunes, Rainy Daze and others.
For me it was worth a couple bucks a month for ad free Pandora.
Mamas and Papas channel, lots of old stuff.
Strawberry Alarm Clock the other night. Buffalo Springfield ‘For What It’s Worth’ –
“Singin songs and carryin signs, mostly say hooray for our side”. Released 1966, how appropriate for today.
My daughters best friend from jr high (30 years on and we’ve agreed she’s semi official second daughter for me) was with us and some one asked “what’s your favorite group?” She and I in unison “The Doors”. 30 years, I never knew. She’s 45 I’m 70.
Amazing this music is so well preserved now. It’s like our parents in 1970 somehow enjoying music from 1910 instead of crooners from the 50s.
I was actually at a Stern book signing in the early ’90s in Philly when I was in college there. It was crazy. Got to talk to him for a few seconds. He was pretty cool. Around the time he left his first wife though is when he started to change. He became everything he used to complain about. He basically became Imus. These guys start making crazy money and they change. They can’t relate to the real world anymore.
Looking back, Stern wasn’t nearly as funny as he tried to make himself out to be. His movie was mediocre at best, and he never followed through on any of his supposed other projects. I think because he wouldn’t be able to handle any criticism. Fartman is the perfect example. Totally unfunny but for years he acted like it was comic genius and that it would be a hit movie. This is a smart move by Sirius if it’s true.
Some will claim that he caused Dana Plato, the Different Strokes girl to kill her self. I disagree. It was well known that Stern was an unremitting asshole by then. It’s a shame, but she should have known better. Who knows what he told her to get onto the show.
This is one of the Greaseman’s best bits!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNG47nRQJwE
I couldn’t stand the way he began glorifying lesbianism in the late 80s early 90’s.
He was mildly funny in my opinion, but no one should miss this bootlicking authoritarian creep. I think his doctors messed up his meds. He needs to detox, go to the gym and work out. He has the money.
Amen, Swamp –
I always thought the Greaseman was funnier and more talented. He ran his own board, wrote his own “bits.” Stern employs a staff of professional writers/comedians to provide most of what you hear on the show. That said, he is a good interviewer and I thought he was funny, once. Lately, he’s been much less so. He’s old, so that may be part of it.
I am with you Eric, the Grease sure made the 80s…..Way better than Howierd ever was.
“He’s old, so that may be part of it.”
My thoughts too. It’s ingrained in us to some extent it seems to be rebellious against authority at a young age and more “conservative” as we age. It makes sense. We need the care of others more and more as we get feeble, physically and mentally.
It’s why I like to go back and watch early Arnold when he was at his prime. The old decrepit Arnold is not the man he once was. Depressingly, we are all heading that way.
Eric: “He’s old, so that may be part of it.”
Not necessarily only in the age sense, either. “Old” in the sense of “stale”, “I’ve heard that Schtick before.” Kind of like The Donald got “old” for me about 20 years ago. “I’m The Greatest!” gets “old” real fast. Whether it’s Stern, Imus, or Trump. (Funny how it never got “old” with Ali, though. Maybe because he was?)
Howard Stern is a Jewish pervert and an asshole with the maturity of a ninth-grader. Years ago when his show was on television, I watched it — ONCE. He and his black woman sidekick and some retard were shaving some girl’s bush and slapping her tits with slices of baloney. (Naturally the graphic parts were blurred because it was broadcast TV).
I’m not a prude, but it wasn’t funny, it wasn’t edgy, it wasn’t titillating, it was just plain stupid and it reminded me why my high school should have burned to the ground with the entire ninth-grade class of obnoxious assholes in it.
Never watched or listened to his Jewish filth ever again. It’s frustrating that the stupid goyim listened to him all these years, though.
Agree 100%.
Is it possible that Stern is being “let go” because it’s not too popular to be a jew these days, especially with the jew-imposed massacre and starvation campaigns going on in Gaza and the West Bank.
I, also never found Stern to be funny; and never understood his typical jewish fascination with feces, urine and other sickening, depraved subjects.
Stern–good riddance..
Maybe he should go to occupied Palestine (israel) where he can entertain the IOF troops…
I asked AI, whatever that is, how many Jews die each day?
AI answered: Not enough.
AI suggests that all Jews invade Gaza to FOAD.
AI knows more than anybody. har
All I did was ask, can’t shoot the messenger!
AI is anti-Semitic!
Not me, all I did was ask.
He was mildly funny on average.
Definitely saw himself as edgy, but in a middle school way.
Like most celebrities, he sought approbation and approval. He/they rarely go against the tide of popular opinion because they don’t have any actual values.
Once upon a time he did things that were on the margin of allowability, but that was long ago.
He lined up along with all the “rock & roll badasses” and “rebels” to fall in line instead of being real rebels against the system.
Fraud
I agree i also detected a meaness in him that could not be hidden and was just detestable.
The Democratic Party, long thought to be the party of “The working class”, was also exposed as a fraud during COVID. How many small businesses were forced to close down during COVID lockdowns never to open back up again because they couldn’t afford to remain “locked down”? And when the experimental mRNA COVID jabs rolled out, the DEMOCRAT Party also advocated COVID vaxx mandates for employees and even severe punishment for people who refused to be guinea pigs for Big Pharma. So much for their supposed advocacy of “bodily autonomy” and “My body, my choice”.
Also, late night “comedians” just aren’t funny anymore. If anything, they’ve effectively become propagandists for the establishment and Big Pharma. A good example is Stephen Colbert, whose show will cease to exist next year. His show also ran numerous skits pushing the COVID jabs to the tune of old songs as if they were sponsored by Pfizer. It’s astounding how many Democrats and liberal special interest groups are demanding CBS reverse their decision to cancel The Late Show and are even fundraising off of it. Some actually think CBS canceled The Late Show because of Trump. It’s far more likely that it was canceled because fewer people watch it compared to a few years ago.
It was literally sponsored by Pfizer.
Bernie Sanders ended up being the number one shill for Big Pharma.
iTunes and podcasts killed radio.
Actually it was Napster and BitTorrent, but we don’t talk about that.
When Stern was getting fined by the FCC and “yelled at” by Pig Virus it was funny because he was the kid throwing spitballs in the back of the schoolroom. When he went up on satellite and the fines were gone, most of the allure was gone.
In the early days of television broadcasting, Oral Roberts had the stage, his shocking devout words held a captive viewing audience.
“Heal,” Oral would proclaim every Sunday, he did it for a few years.
Howard Stern was on the Late Show with David Letterman early in the show’s broadcast days.
Howard looked up at the audience and said, “Hi, my name’s Madonna and I’m going to pull a great big booger out of my nose.”
Haven’t been able to listen to the immature bonehead ever since.
Don’t have to hear any of it.
A rainstorm hit last night, the leading edge of the system was probably 250 miles tall and swept across a good 350 miles of land area.
At 1/2 inch of precipitation, an acre of land, 43560 square feet times 1/24th of an inch, approximately 14,000 gallons of rainfall on each acre of land.
Times probably 50 million acres, 70,000,000,000 gallons of water fell from the sky after about seven hours of the system moving from west to east.
The summer of 2024 was dry all of July, this year, there has been about 7 inches so far.
Hunga Tunga vaporized ocean water into the atmosphere all the way up to the thermosphere. Six trillion more cc’s of agua caused from one volcanic eruption does do the climate change thingy.
Topics that matter more than Howard the Daft are what is important to me.
You’re far more charitable to Springsteen than you should be. There’s literally no musician who I despise more. His virtue signaling is merely the cherry on top of the sht sundae that is his music.
These people are also stupid. Howard said something to the effect of “if caring about people is woke, then I’m woke.” No, you pubic-hair-headed fool, that’s not what woke means.
Insufferable ass monkeys is what they are.
Cheers everyone! 😁
Musically, Springsteen has always sounded like a bet between two producers wirh one betting the other he couldn’t take an ordinary Joe off the streets and make him a star.
Bet taken, Joe off the streets given an American Anthem called “Born in the USA”. Now let’s do a video with a future Friends star dancing on stage with him to show he is hip.
Finally because the music industry is evil, we will have him do a pedo-ballad about him on fire for a little girl whose father is not home.
As the years rolled on, Springsteen’s shit can’t be polished anymore. He was a turd all along.
Hi J,
I never liked him, either. His singing often sounds like he has a really dry turd hung up in his colon he’s trying to push past his sphincter.
“Born To Run” is one of my top 5 worst songs ever. It is unlistenable. I don’t even know what Springsteen is saying throughout it.
He is an anti-auto buy. In that song he called cars “suicide machines.”
Morning, Swamp!
I ought to have mentioned that – so thanks for mentioning it! Yes, indeed. Stern dislikes cars and those who like them; he has mocked “car people” on a number of occasions. Ordinarily, I’d be saddened by the news that a guy got pushed into retirement. But in his case, it’s deserved as well as delicious in that he’s going the way of Don Imus, who was once his pinata of choice.
Hollywood has always had a certain disdain for automobiles. There are many instances in Hollywood movies when a car is started up, a brief glimpse of an exhaust pipe with a smoky exhaust stream is a part of the movie. This is unlike most vehicles today that have no visible exhaust stream.
I cannot deny your succinct review of someone who should have never been behind a microphone.
Thanks, J!
I fell for Stern’s schtick when I was young; just as I fell for the con that rock start “rebels” such as Springsteen were against the man, man. I am older and wiser now. Or at least I hope!
I wanted to think that this movie is a sign that Hollywood is done with Ahhh-nold, but look whose face is on the money at 0:25.

Oye vey!
Another imagination-free “reboot” … Hollywood can’t die soon enough.
“Imagination-free” usually isn”t Edgar Wright’s (director) style.
Disney fired Wright from “Ant Man”, and Universal cut short their deal with him after he refused studio notes about casting diversity on “Hot Fuzz”.
Who knows. Maybe he sold out too.
Of course we have to have the obligatory mixed-race couple. Ahhhh yes, the great American family.
Stern revealed himself to be the member of the Mockingbird Media that he is. Fuck him and good riddance.
I used to listen to Howard Stern religiously every morning from 6:00 – 10:00am from a radio station in Hartford, Connecticut. I couldn’t get my day started after he entered this market in 1996. He was popular and became number one here because he said and did what he wanted to do regardless of what some people thought. He actually used humor to put out an entertaining morning show. He would use racism and homophobia to show the absurdity of it. And he stood up to the government. He was a total free-speecher. And this only amplified as he gained more exposure. Moving to satellite radio in the mid 2000s helped him initially as he lost the shackles of gov’t regulation. I didn’t follow him there as I couldn’t justify spending money to listen to radio.
But then something happened to Howard Stern some ten or fifteen years ago. It’s unknown if it was Artie Lange’s attempted suicide, Howard’s wife’s influence, a new psychiatrist, or Hollywood friends, but he changed. He started apologizing to those he was at war with like that fat pig Rosie O’Donnell (his words and mine). He became soft. And he lost the majority of his listeners because he abandoned them. He was no longer funny, just bitter. He even supported Hildabeast Clinton in the 2016 election even after her husband tried to shut him down in the 1990s.
And then, like Eric mentions, the covid farce hit and he went off the deep end. He became a jab fanatic, blaming Trump for the pandemic. No more freedoms for anybody…except him. This was the final nail in the coffin for him.
I am not sad to see him go… hypocrites get what they deserve.
You knew he jumped the shark one he started kissing up to Hollywood celebrities rather than pretending to ridicule them. That might have been even before moving to satellite.
But yeah, he was a fake from the very beginning.
Hi Horst,
There is an aspect of this that fascinates me. Guys like Stern are extremely wealthy; I have always thought that being wealthy gave you freedom, especially as regards not having to toe-the-line in terms of what you say/write potentially being “offensive” to the Boss, who could deprive you of the money you need to eat/keep a roof over your head.
I suppose the deal is you have to sell out to become extremely wealthy. Catch meet 22!
“I suppose the deal is you have to sell out to become extremely wealthy. Catch meet 22!”
No doubt about it. In these days of massive Fed printing and cronyism, I’d go as far to say that no one accumulates $1 billion legitimately.
In 1990, there were 66 US billionaires. In 2023 there were 748. Did the economy grow 11 fold since then? I know I don’t own eleven 67 Chevelle SS’es. I couldn’t afford the one I have if I had to buy it today.
I guess it depends on your definition of extremely wealthy. I consider myself extremely wealthy, even going as far as having FU money. Don’t have hundreds, or even tens of millions, but enough that I can shout a loud and confident Fuck you in anyones face, and never have to worry about doing anything I don’t want.
But more than that, I remember what it was to have nothing. I was even homeless once in my 2Os. The Swarzniggers, and Sternberginstiens of the world are ruled by their fear of exactly this. Of having nothing, or losing it all, and being exposed as nothings. Its pure Jewish guilt.
I always like to go back to Kiplings poem, If. The words and ideas of which my dad tried hard to impress on us.
It seems like Leno is an anomaly to this rule, but he may have been too far under the radar before becoming wealthy. Who knows what powers got to Stern early in his career and became his handlers?
I remember my dad telling me about Stern in the late 80s. A couple years later we would all be listening to him on the way to high school in the early 90s. He was hilarious to us back then, but of course the shtick ran its course over time. I couldn’t believe what he had become w the “pandemic” exposure.
‘[Howard Stern] immunized himself against accusations that he trafficked in “racist” humor – such as his Old Black OJ song parody’ — eric
Funny how only one thin-skinned minority group — one to which Stern himself ‘happens to’ [sic] belong — actually has government ministries dedicated to punishing anyone who would dare mock or criticize it. But that’s changing, comrades:
‘Three cars were torched next to graffiti that read “Death to the IDF” early Tuesday morning in a St. Louis-area incident targeting an American citizen who served in the Israel Defense Forces, according to local police and a Trump administration official.
‘Another message was also spraypainted on the Clayton, Mo., street, but the local outlet that published the footage, First Alert 4, blurred it “because it’s targeted at a specific individual.” According to Leo Terrell, who heads the Trump administration’s anti-Semitism task force, it called the IDF veteran a murderer. He said the three destroyed cars belonged to the vet, his family, and friends.
“I am outraged. Antisemitic violence has no place in America, not in St. Louis and not anywhere,” Terrell wrote in an X post. “We will pursue every avenue to bring the perpetrators to justice. If you commit antisemitic hate crimes, you will be caught. And you will be held accountable.”
https://freebeacon.com/israel/death-to-the-idf-vandals-target-american-idf-vet-with-graffiti-torched-cars/
The African-American shabbos goy Leo Terrell has all the dignity of a monkey rattling a tin cup on an organ grinder’s chain, as he hyperventilates about Auntie Shemitism [whatever that is].
He calls confronting an IDF murderer a haaaaaaaate crime.
I call it … a good start! 🙂
