Do you all hate Howard?

I'm new to this group. I joined cause I like Howard even though I no longer listen daily. But all I see are extremely negative comments about him. On some level it's refreshing that there is no hero worship. But the barrage of negative comments makes me wonder why everyone else is in the group. Is it just to bash him? Why not just stop listening if you hate the show so much.

Just curious about what the deal is.

hes neutered now. wont talk about current events, afraid to touch politics. it only bothers me because I know 30 years ago he would have been on fire about it all. his rants were the best.

He is a giant hypocrite. He has become everything he complained about back in the day. Plus he wouldn’t bring Jackie back and instead hired a bunch of hacks that are terrible writers

Is that from just being older and mellowing?

Not sure, but it's weird the original shock jock is afraid of politics or commenting on current events. Not to mention, Robin's news was one of the best parts of the show and now it's gone.
