Topic: George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[MV]

Yeah, he comes out complaining about how the media is blowing 2012 out of proportion, as if he isn't leading the pack.

god, this reminds me...
here in cape girardeau, missouri, the local AM talk station is 960 KZIM.  it's a typical cookie-cutter, small town, shit-bag news/talk station that pulls EVERYTHING from the satellite and tops it all off with an atrocious morning "news" show hosted by some fevered ego named faune riggin who thinks she's a gifted radio pro and a pleasure to listen to.  i'll have to pull some audio of this broad for you guys some time.  you won't believe how insufferable it is.  i can't stand to hear her useless, banal editorializing, "observations," and attempts at humor when i'm driving to school in the morning.  bleh.  why do i keep the radio tuned to this station during the morning commute?  because i can't stand to listen to music on the radio, it's hard to look away from an accident, and i don't drive long enough to bother trying to find something else.  i hope she finds this post as i'm sure she googles her own name.  anyway, the above isn't really relevant to the purpose of this post.

kzim is INCESSANTLY running this :30 coast to coast promotion in which george says something to the effect of:

Sure, on Coast to Coast AM we talk about the supernatural and conspiracy... but did you know we also talk about things like science, technology, alternative health... will we get to 2012? (unbelievable.)  Find the answers to these and many other questions on Coast to Coast AM.

we are an undeserving society for whom mediocrity is apparently "good enough."

[valdez]

     George was in total hog heaven with survivalism guy, Jim Rawles, talking about the coming financial collapse of everthing, riots in the streets, power grid meltdowns, and the importance of stocking up on such things as flashlights, batteries, and, oh yeah, lots and lots of great tasting, emergency food supplies.
     Here's a "head shaker" from the night hawk himself:
     "It's important to be prepared in case of a disaster that destroys part of the planet, or even all of it."
     Yeah.  After the planet has been destroyed, and I'm floating in the vacuum of space, I'm gonna be really needing that flashlight.

I actually think that a good percentage of the C2C listening audience recognize that Noory sucks really bad and would prefer a change, but feel powerless to pursue it.  Shit, I can't even find an e-mail address at the corporate parent to send off a complaint.

It is worse--really worse, right now!  Glynnis McNutly is blabbing away about her F***ing numbers.  I can't get signed on to stream Art's old shows.  That woman is at the top of my HATE LIST.

Maybe I will have to hunt for a danged old movie!

i'm proud to say i've heard this glynnis mccants only one time.  it was probably five or six years ago.  after listening to her prattle on and on about the number eight, i'd had enough.  never heard her again.  then again, i havn't actively listened to a noory broadcast since those days, either.

what do you mean when you say:

I can't get signed on to stream Art's old shows.

Thanks for the link.  It appears the addresses are for parties interested in advertising with a Premier station.  I'll give it a try nonetheless.  Unfortunately they don't provide an e-mail address for listener feedback -- they probably know they would get a deluge of nasty e-mails regarding Noory, so why provide one.

Thanks for the warm welcome, MV -- and merge away.

Again, I apologize if this is ground already trodden, but isntead of contacting the direct producers of C2C, what about contacting Clearchannel?

If you can get around the loud background music this video is hilarious.  Noory at his best - "Shroud of Urine", etc.

Laughed so hard at this one, my sides hurt.

  I outgrew that dolt Snoory about a year ago, but I like reading these posts, where he is dissed up one side and down the other.As for Ian, well with me its personal.I don't like his style one bit.He seems to be prepared for his shows, he just rubs me the wrong way.I bet he talks for 75% of the time and other people the rest.

[valdez]

     The obvious question occurred to me after listening to Hoagland for the umpteenth time talk about some NASA conspiracy to keep us in the dark about alien structures in space:  Why doesn't George get somebody from NASA to come on the show and answer for their scandalous behavior?  A debate with RCH would be very cool.  Heck, even just a straight interview with whoever the chief honcho is would make for a decent c2c evening.
     Tricia McCannon seemed like a very nice lady, discussing the lost years of Jesus, and giving her phone number out on the air.  Yeah.  I've never seen a phone melt either.

Ummm...because it would not actually be a debate and NASA knows that (at least according to the two guys at Nasa that I know).  It would be an extended Post Hoc ergo Propter Hoc mutual masturbation session with the Gilded Turd & The Hoaxland wallowing in their own foetid crapulence and accusing the NASA rep of "Conspiracy" & "Coverup" because the rep doesn't automatically buy in to Hoaxland's crack-pottery.  A prime example of which would be the Stanton Friedman approach: "All my evidence is proof, and since it is proof, it must, logically, be valid evidence."  Rather than any actual valid discussion or debate, by default it would become a preposterous mudslinging nightmare for whoever NASA tasked with such a fool's errand.  Seth Shostak has run up against this absurdity time and again dealing with Hoaxland & Friedman, notice he doesn't do it anymore?

NOW

If it were NOT on COAST, and with an intelligent, neutral arbiter I would be all in favor of such an exchange.

this is true, and it was the first thought i had when reading valdez's question. 

however, truth usually rises to the top, and it's why i wouldn't think a nasa sanctioned debate with hoagland would be such a bad idea under appropriate circumstances.  i've heard hoagland debate a real scientist before, and he had his ass handed to him.  the example i'm thinking of at the moment is his debate with edgar mitchell.  art was the host, which could account for a significant portion of the balance and sanity associated with this debate.  hoagland's crackpot theories and harebrained suppositions came across as woefully unprepared, paranoia driven bilge.  i'd like to see that happen again.

I concur! As previously stated, a "legitimate debate" would be a tremendous thing to hear, but C2C under the shaky, sweaty, nervous, malaprop guiding-hand of the Gilded Turd would most assuredly NOT be that venue but rather, in reference to your truth comment, a place where "shit floats" rather than truth rising, phoenix-like from the ashes of a once great forum of fringe.

I listened last night (March 16/17) for the last two hours or so:

1) Noory interviewed some dude who tied together music, spirituality, and 2012, but I'm not exactly sure how or what he was trying to say. Noory got several interesting callers and was unable to understand what they were saying: One caller was the father of the main designer of Sony Acid (formerly Sonic Foundry Acid) who was responding to a point the guest had made about music composition. The second caller was mentioning a strange feature of Cool Edit Pro (aka Adobe Audition) that simulates some sort of brain-wave stimulating pattern.

Noory hadn't heard of either of those programs, didn't understand the points the callers were trying to make, and yessed them to death before throwing more stupid questions at his guest. How 2012 ties into music is still beyond me.

2) There was some sort of female "shaman" on in the last hour (or was it a rebroadcast hour?). She claimed "shamanism is at least 100,000 years old."

I found that interesting because recorded history doesn't begin until 5,000 years ago and we generally have no idea what the fuck happened before that. So I wonder if she has any concept of ancient history or if she just thought up a number that sounded cool and decided to go with it. I listened for about 15 more minutes and turned it off.

not only that, but to my knowledge, the modern human in our current physical form has only been around for about 20,000 years.  c2c really is a joke.

[Pseudonaut]

Dude what the fuck are these two morons talking about -- Snoory and Alex Jones. I just got my census form the other day and it doesn't ask any of the invasive questions they're referring to. It doesn't ask how much your mortgage is.. What page is that supposed to be on?

There's a question that asks if you rent or own. What's wrong with that?

F these two idiots. They're going to look like asses when a million listeners get their census forms this week and think "What the hell were they talking about?"

[valdez]

     Yeah, mine doesn't have it either.  But when I worked for the census in 2000, we did have a long form (that had way too many crazy questions), as well as a short form.  A certain percentage of people got the long form.  Still, I wouldn't put it past Mr. blowhard Alex Jones to exaggerate, obfuscate, and twist the truth into whatever pretzel he happens to be eating at the time.

same here.  mine asked nothing of the sort.  funny how many people who listen to c2c think they're actually at the cutting edge of news or something.  and alex jones is an arse log, no doubt about it.  sad thing about him is he's the perfect guy to trot out there if you want to discredit the tea-party movement or any other anti-government movement.  in other words, he's a complete tool.

[mikemcc]

We got the long form and it does ask that -- and just about everything short of what color my latest bowel... well, nevermind -- I just went and checked and it asked that too! What a pain in the ass that was. I started to fill it out and then asked my wife if she'd just finish it; it was like 28 pages long. Plus on the front cover it said something like, "This fucking form is REQUIRED, numbnuts, so don't even THINK about not returning it. If you don't fill it out, we are going to come to your house and dip you in hot oil and THEN we'll make you fill it out before we kill you." Or something like that... I forgot the exact wording, but this is the gist of it.

     Interesting.  Rahm Emanuel must have personally taken charge of this himself.

How did you get that version? Were you just one out of many unlucky people who were chosen at random?

The unopened census letter is sitting on a table in my apartment and I dread opening it.

[mikemcc]

I have no idea how we became so lucky to get this big book to fill out. But it did come before most others got the shorter form -- like a month-and-a-half ago. It took forever to fill out. We had to gather up a bunch of documents like our tax return from last year and stuff like that. I remember my wife asking me for our mortgage docs and insurance statements. It arrived at a time when I was swamped with work so I was fortunate that my wife wasn't quite as busy and could do the bulk of it.

That's really strange. The Census has specifically said over and over that (for the first time in decades) there will be no long form this time around. Check out this wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_United_States_Census#Major_changes

The Census Bureau website states it will no longer use a long form for the 2010 Census.[3] In several previous censuses, one in six households received this long form, which asked for detailed social and economic information. The 2010 Census will use only a short form asking ten basic questions, including name, sex, age, date of birth, race, and homeownership status.[3]

Detailed socioeconomic information collected during past censuses will continue to be collected through the American Community Survey.[4] The survey provides data about communities in the United States on a yearly basis rather than once every 10 years. A small percentage of the population on a rotating basis will receive the survey each year, and no household will receive it more than once every five years

Even the 2010 Census website says that the Census is only 10 questions. It has no mention of any long form. Here's another link that backs that up: http://www.prb.org/Articles/2009/changesin2010.aspx

Did you maybe get the American Community Survey? I'm thinking that must be the case.

[valdez]

     I had a feeling George was going to boot out early and leave us with a replay of something in the last hour, because he really sounded bored, and his questions were, even by his low standards, dumb.  He never really connected with Rita Louise, who was on to talk about dark entities, and, at times, there were moments of unease, and awkwardness.  It's never a good sign when George decides to do two hours of callers questions.  At that point he has basically given up trying, and hopes that his audience can carry the interview.
     Very sloppy.

Yep -- that's what we got. It is administered by the U.S. Census Bureau so my wife and I just assumed we had somehow "lucked" into the long form since it had all the warnings that we MUST fill the thing out and mail it in to the Census Bureau. Apparently we STILL have to fill out the normal form in addition to this mammoth book because we just got that one in the mail.
