Talk show host Michael Savage pulled off air after discussing Hillary’s health

Michael SavageOn Monday, top-rated talk show host Michael Savage was pulled off the air at several stations when he began a segment discussing the health of Democrat Hillary Clinton, Breitbart.com reported.

According to Warner Todd Huston, he “suggested she may have Parkinson’s disease when he was alerted that his show had been pulled from the air on New York’s WABC radio.”

Huston added:

The host discovered that The Savage Nation was pulled off the air and replaced by the “Curtis And Cooby Show,” in the Big Apple.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Not long after discovering he was pulled from WABC, as Savage was telling his audience what happened in New York, his live feed was suddenly cut off to many of his other affiliates and a replay of an earlier episode was substituted for the live feed.

The host, a strong supporter of GOP nominee Donald Trump, took to his Twitter account to warn listeners of what happened, leaving only a single enigmatic Tweet about the incident:

In an email to Aaron Klein, Savage said:

Pure sabotage. No advance notice from me or my producers. Then ‘ISDN problems’ during my discussion of the side effects of Levodopa, used for treating Parkinson’s.  Then the two fill-ins trying to sound informed and clever from WABC who have 40% lower ratings than me, boasting on air during my hours that they conducted a ‘coup’ by taking Savage off the air.

It’s not the first time talk show hosts have been censored for speaking about Hillary’s health.  As Faye Higbee reported back in August, HLN gave Dr. Drew Pinsky the boot after he discussed her health.

As Higbee observed, “HLN, or the Headline News Network is owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a subsidiary of Time Warner and a “spin-off” of the Cable News Network – i.e. CNN.”

Welcome to Obama’s fundamentally-transformed America.
