Joe Messina Radio Show-An Immediate Review

By Timothy Myers SR. — Tim Myers

Due to Joe Messina’s Facebook and email blasts I found myself listening (over the internet) to his inaugaral airing of “The Real Side” on KHTS Radio AM 1120 today. Joe’s inaugaral guests were Scott Wilk and Bruck McFarland representing the Republican and Democratic point of view.

I would give the show a B+ for a first effort. Joe kept the show moving and seemed able to maintain courteous discourse between McFarland and Wilk, though Wilk seemed to be taking special pains not to be argumentative. Joe took two phone calls: One from our own Petz who took the opportunity to haranque Bruce McFarland with a Tea Party Filibuster about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Alan Cameron also called in so we got to to hear the voice of God. Joe quickly dropped off callers and were not let them get into a back and forth with the guests.

Could someone please confirm that I was not the only person listening to the show along with Petz and Alan Cameron?

I listened too Jeff. I thought it was pretty good for a first effort. I called in but was too late to get my question on. It is great to have this forum and Joe Messina’s show for people to air opinions, ask questions, share information,etc.

It was a pretty good show. Bruce has a right to his opinion, but not his own facts. We know him as the Van Jones of the SCV.

Petz was responding to a claim by Bruce that he was a Democrat because they believe in regulation , and Republicans do not. Petz pointed out that Fannie and Freddie were chartered by the Congress who had direct responsibility for oversight. Also , oil companies were regulated right into dwelling in the most difficult places on the Earth. “Regulation” has caused financial and environmental disaster.

That is BS. Republican were the driving force behind The Financial Modernization Act which 2008 financial crisis. We can thank Republicans for “TOO BIG TOO FAIL” and sub prime going through the roof! The Gulf isn’t the most difficult place on earth. The Oil companies were regulated and they found a way around the regulation. Stronger regulations are needed.
