I would bet many more than 5 tickets remain for an event.  You wouldn’t waste time on a tweet if you’re practically sold out. This comes across like a desperate marketing attempt to create demand by advertising low supply. Hopefully we will get some pics of the large crowd. My guess is that we see them “packed” into a very small hotel conference room.

still good for them if diamond and silk have discovered rubes that will pay to hear them talk and take photos together.

I just went through the motions to buy 20 tickets.  No problem

This is our country now. It is beyond shameful that there are people who will go on TV and say what that coward said. Man up and at least admit you are a racist asshole just like Dotard if you are going to say that.

First off the man was not a coward. He said what he believes and is live on TV doing saying it. There was nothing he said that was racist.

That is the lefts cudgel to bash anyone who disagrees with them. It is over. That little boy who has cried wolf about a million times is about 50 years old by now.

Just stop with this shit. It's enough. This shit will get out of control.

Calling someone a troll is the same weak ass response as calling everyone who disagrees with you a racist. You don't have consider their point of view. They are worthless as human beings and to scorned and ignored.

Yes, I agree, there are real racists and real trolls. I am not either.

People on the right should probably stop supporting an actual racist if they want that to stop.

If you can show me with real data how Trump has hurt any citizens of this country since he has taken office I will be more than willing to listen.

The tariffs and government shutdown hurt millions of citizens.

But he's also the president of non-citizens and he's hurt hundreds of thousands of them just by ending DACA.

But keep apologizing for a racist.

Lol. Do you understand that being employed does not correlate to being employed enough to earn a wage that allows people to live? Folks are putting in 60-70,hour weeks on the low end to make it. I have worked with enough of Dotard's least favorite people to know they are killing themselves with 70-80 hour work weeks just to survive.

You don't understand economic trends?

Really?

Name one thing Donald Trump has done to help the minority unemployment rate go down. Just one.

When did they start the most recent uptick? What year was it?

Why would Trump.. An oblivious racist/ misogynist allow any uptick? I thought he hated these people?

He’s tweeting up another shit storm from the shitter.   Something in the news bugging him.  

Everything Trump does over the next 100 hours should be viewed in the context of the Robert Mueller testimony on Wednesday.

Trump knows Mueller going on live television for five hours is his most significant threat to altering public opinion.  

He will be throwing shit nonstop.

I find airing any full testimony to be a waste.  That's what CSPAN is for.  But I get the big 3 cable news like to create drama but they would be better off reporting on the highlights only. 

The Mueller testimony needs to be on NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS.  This scandal is so much bigger and more consequential than Watergate.

They're going to have a panel of 15 analysts breaking down every answer on the fly. They'll structure in commercial breaks and half-time to give plenty of time to broadcast reactionary tweets by morons as though they're legitimate commentary. It'll be a zoo.

Ughhhh watching “The Loudest Voice” and while it’s a fantastic piece of television but it makes my blood pressure go through the roof every episode.

The seeds of Trumpism and the mess of propaganda and lies that are the right wing is laid bare for all to see.

Every American should be forced to watch this.

The only bit of solace I get watching this horror show is knowing Roger Ailes is rotting in the cold ground.

Not FOX, but dogs from the same kennel

Cumulus Media, one of the largest broadcasting companies in the country, blocked one of its country radio station hosts from airing his interview with 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

Blair Garner, whose self-titled Nash FM radio show is syndicated nationally across more than 150 radio stations, interviewed Buttigieg on Wednesday while the Democratic candidate visited Nashville, Tennessee, as part of his campaign tour.

 
REAL LIFE. REAL NEWS. REAL VOICES.
Help us tell more of the stories that matter from voices that too often remain unheard.

“It’s important to Pete to reach voters everywhere,” Buttigieg campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith told HuffPost in a statement Sunday. “We’ve made it a point on this campaign to go outside the traditional political media bubble ― that’s why we reached out to Blair about an interview.”

“[Blair] has a big audience,” she added. “And it’s an audience that doesn’t typically hear directly from Democratic candidates for president.”

In his roughly 20-minute interview, Buttigieg discussed meeting country music icons Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw and called on the Democratic Party to reach out to more communities traditionally viewed as right-leaning. 

“I think that our base tends to be more conservative,” Garner told Buttigieg of his program’s listeners. “And the fact that you, from the Democratic ticket, are the singular candidate to reach out and to say, ‘May I please be on your show?’ That you are reaching out to our listeners ― I think we all have to embrace that and be appreciative of that.”

But Cumulus Media decided to spike the interview, blocking Garner and affiliate radio stations from airing any part of it, the radio host announced Friday.

“My employer decided I couldn’t air it,” he tweeted with a link to the interview published on his personal Soundcloud account.

 

My interview with @PeteButtigieg. The only candidate who asked to be on my show. My employer decided I couldn't air it - but I did get permission to post it on my personal Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/user-755551091/blair-garner-mayor-pete … @Lis_Smith

Garner had intended to run the interview beginning Monday, a source close to the radio host told HuffPost. 

 

In an email sent to affiliates Friday morning and obtained by HuffPost, Garner said he planned to include two segments of the interview in his show and broadcast the full exchange in a subsequent podcast. 

“It is not, in any way shape or form, my intention for our show to become political,” the host of “The Blair Garner Show” wrote in the email. “But because someone clearly saw the value of our listeners, I felt secure in affording him this opportunity.”

Garner said his show’s producer would provide alternatives to the Buttigieg interview segments should any affiliate prefer not to air them.

But hours later, Garner followed up with another email to affiliates in which he announced he had been prohibited from airing any part of the interview on his show.

“I’ve been told that the interview cannot air,” he wrote in the second email, also obtained by HuffPost. “I was very proud that a presidential candidate of any party valued our show to the degree that they would ask to be a guest.”

Just to be clear, I would have also enthusiastically welcomed the opportunity to have any candidate, including President Trump, as a guest.Blair Garner

“Just to be clear, I would have also enthusiastically welcomed the opportunity to have any candidate, including President Trump, as a guest. It was simply that Mayor Pete showed up, and made the ask,” Garner wrote.

A spokesperson for Cumulus Media told HuffPost that programming managers decided not to air the interview “because of the large number of political candidates currently in this race.”

“The decision was made by local programming management based solely on concerns related to the application of the FCC’s Equal Time Rule,” the spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday, “The effects of the FCC’s Equal Time Rule are widely understood and considered whenever these types of issues arise.”

Buttigieg’s team said they are “obviously disappointed that Blair’s listeners won’t have the opportunity to hear” the interview.

Kurt Bardella, creator and publisher of the country music newsletter “The Morning Hangover,” said he was in the studio during Garner’s interview with Buttigieg. He slammed Cumulus Media for pulling the plug on it.

“It is an incredible act of cowardice for a company who’s slogan is ‘Where Every Voice Matters’ to censor an interview with someone who, for the first time ever, thought it was worthwhile to engage the country music audience in a conversation about the future of our country,” Bardella said in a statement to HuffPost.

“I hope the executives at Cumulus reconsider their directive to censor Blair’s interview with Pete,” he continued. “Country radio should be on the frontlines of breaking stereotypes and promoting diversity of thought.”
