Hi, I've been reading Coastgab for several months, concurring with most of what has been said, never driven (shame on me) to contribute. Well, this Noory ratings issue really got to me.
Noory is a FLAT OUT LIAR, we can't believe anything he says. First, there's the minor issue of his hair color. He lies and states he doesn't color it, even though there is PROOF in the form of old photos that he is almost gray, just like most men who are 60+.
Secondly, he LIES about ratings, etc. Earlier this year, probably March 2011, he had on some guest who knew Glenn Beck. (Doesn't matter if you love or hate Beck, please read on). Noory told this guest to tell Beck that he (Noory) is bigger than Beck. Strange, the guest had no comment. Then at the end of the interview, Noory made it a point to again state that he was bigger than Beck. I knew this to be wrong, but, I rarely listen to C2C, so I forgot out it.
Then, in April 2011, Noory stated that C2C is Number 2; he's just under Rush Limbaugh and he hopes to soon surpass him. Again, whether you like or hate Rush, Beck, etc., Noory was again coming out with a FLAT OUT LIE. I did a little research on Wikipedia on most listened to radio shows. Rush was #1 with 15+ million listeners a week, Hannity #2 with 12+ million, Beck #3 with about 12 million. Where's Noory feeble brain? (I know, where the sun don't shine.) His own website states that he has only 3 million a week, a fraction of the big three. The list stated that the #10 show has 6 million, twice as many as C2C.
Talker's Magazine, an industry publication, puts out a yearly Heavy Hitters listing. This is based not only upon ratings, but on influence. Again, the big three were Rush, Hannity and Beck. Noory was ranked #22, a long way from the #2 he falsely claimed.
On 4/17/11, I emailed Noory and Lisa; no, I knew I wouldn't get a reply, but I just wanted to inform them that this is one woman who is not fooled. I gave them the above stats, asking them to substantiate the #2 claim. No response.
Noory may he feel he's #2 based upon the number of affliliates, but big deal. He could have 1000 stations, but with only 3 million listeners, C2C ads command only a fraction of the cost as it is to advertise on Beck, Hannity, etc.
I guess Noory has absolutely no socially redeeming qualities.
1. He is of marginal intelligence. Definitely, under the average IQ of 100. And as a former teacher, I can tell you, not much cognitive ability with only a 90 IQ.
2. He's a paranoid, fear driven; a grown man afraid of clowns, believes in EVERY conspiracy (they're out to get us). He's afraid of regular tooth fillings, flouride in the water, flu shots; takes 40+ pills a day to fend off God knows what aliment he imagines in his paranoid brain.
3. Most importantly, and this deals with his morality, he's a FLAT OUT LIAR as I've shown above. His problem is that he's not smart enough to be a good liar.
Unfortunately, he appeals to that half of the populace with only a double digit IQ, and I guess statistically, 1/2 of the population has an IQ of under 100.
C2C - a radio show produced and hosted by the cognitively and morally challenged for those who are at least cognitively challenged.
