Let me get this straight, you think that Taylor Swift, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world, with legions of loyal fans, is not going to retaliate against your public lies?
Except with far more integrity. And much better politics.
The article I linked called him trailblazing, and I agree.
Some bits from the Wikipedia page on his show:
He focused on one guest or topic for the entire hour and invited the audience to ask questions. On November 6, 1967, Donahue hosted his first guest, atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair.[2][3] Though he would later call her message of atheism “very important”, he also stated she was rather unpleasant and that, off-camera, she mocked him for being Roman Catholic.[4] On May 19, 1973, Donahue’s guest was Dr. Cody Sweet who brought the subject of body language to the US nationally syndicated television audience for the first time.
In 1984, Donahue introduced many viewers to hip-hop culture, as a program featured breakdancing for the first time on national television, accompanied by a performance from the hip hop group UTFO.
The talk show field became increasingly saturated as the 1990s progressed. Many of these shows took an increasingly tabloid bent. Donahue shied away from this trend, continuing to take a “high-road” approach. These factors led to a marked decline in ratings. The show’s ratings also began to plummet after Donahue expressed his feelings regarding the first Gulf War.
In the 1980s, during the Cold War period of openness by the USSR, Donahue and Soviet journalist Vladimir Posner co-hosted a series of televised discussions, known as the U.S.–Soviet Space Bridge, among everyday citizens of the Soviet Union and the United States.[14] It was the first event of its kind in broadcasting history: Donahue hosted an audience in an American city while Posner hosted an audience in a Soviet city, all on one television program. Members of both audiences asked each other questions about both nations. While the governments of both nations were preparing for the possibility of nuclear war, Donahue said: “We reached out instead of lashed out”.
In 2024, Donahue was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Joe Biden.[29]
He really was a terrific person in so many ways. The only criticism I will make of him is that he campaigned for Nader in 2000, but he and Nader were also good friends- Nader was one of the most frequent guests on his show back when he was all about advocating for consumers.
Not intentionally. I was trying to say the difference between a convenient lie for his own MAGA people and one which might actually come back to bite him in the ass.
All they had to do was crop the fingers off and it was a pretty good image. I wonder if the kid whose dad asked him to make it kept them in the frame 😅
“Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy,” Vance told host Shannon Bream

Those footnotes link to the bill numbers and details of what they fucked up.
Red State Peeps: Your Legislatures Have Fucked Us - We mentioned it at the time, but frankly everyone was pretty busy so we kind of waited UNTIL NOW to start yapping about it again. Please make the neccessary calls, stink, fuss, what-have-yous, to inform your red state representatives how this is totally not cool.
I’m not sure if I’m misremembering this but I feel like he was relatively reasonable for the majority of his career until the likes of Springer and came along. My immediate reaction upon seeing this was that he was a huge dick. But I don’t recall if he was always that way or if it was more of an act in the later years of his show.
No, he was definitely a decent guy, at least when he had his show. I didn’t really pay much attention to him after it was canceled. But I pasted a bunch of info in a reply to someone else if you want to check it out.
Just like those shitty houses they couldn’t flip. Grab your toolbelt millennials, this unsustainable company has been in the red for the last decade. What an amazing DIY opportunity for your YouTube channel
