Noory finally stands up to the fraud$

Remember when Art Bell tried to scare us ****less by bringing on guests
who
predicted the end of the world then actively
selecting which guests he would label on his fraud "list" he would never
have on his show again? He continually
ditched guests and "friends" in a lame attempt to bring integrity to the
show yet only interested in saving his own butt. Things
came to a head when he spooked the Heaven's Gate cult members to kill
themselves. Art was never the wildly alarmist
hit-and-runner like his guests, at least apparently. Whitley ****ter and
Ed
Damn-you-all-to-h*ll we all know are on his team.
They write "collaborative" books like bargian trash bin "superstorm" and
call themselves prophets vs. the "mainstream" media.
Then Art tells them to shut up on end of the world ultimatims and even
Dames
relented that his death prophecies could with .00000001%
chance be "averted" with enough "positive" thinking by Coast listeners.

First there was Nigel Cawler or someone who couldn't come up with the UFO
landing specifics, and Art got "impatient" and knocked him
off after the break in 1996. Follow up to the heady days with the Hale
Bopp
"companion" kept people awake with deathwatch pulses. Then
Art dumped the Reverse Speech guy. Courtney Brown was next. Later on it
was
the guy who lit "flares" in the nevada desert where an old lady in
a wheelchair had traveled there spending hundreds of dollars to see a UFO.

Finally, Noory couldn't stand it anymore. Night after night, he had to
have
the frauds sell their books and videos and make excuses for them.
And now he finally broke with "Wayne Greene" and the "vision-1979" man
tonight-morning. What a schmuck the vision man is saying 97% of
the world's population is going to die in Sept. (read 5.9+ billion people
wasted just like that). If vision-man cared so much for humanity
why doesn't he just offer his information free on his website? At least
put
up a pay-pal donation option like Hoaxland does now.

At least Hoaxland is entertaining. And he's quick on his feet especially
with the scientific stuff. Hoaxie should be a NASA administrator instead
of the lazybum desk pushers in charge of NASA now.

But all the other "end of the world" pushers of their video and books, I'd
say Noory continue and throw them all out if Art won't do it.

(10 million listeners. If only .01% scared ****less listeners bought into
the bunk, that's 1000 people who buy $20-$100 books or video tapes
making a hefty $20,000-$100,000 from 1 night of advertising! This must go
through every bull****ters mind who's lucky or glib enough to
get a guest spot on C2C. No wonder Noory has to reign it in finally. C2C
has
become whose the best bull****ter who can come up with the
best spiel and promote books/tapes so listeners can "learn more". C2C has
become the "Who wants to be a millionare" of the airwaves, or
any of thos "reality" shows which always feature a lame $100,000+ prize at
the end of the season.

Gernsback and Green have/had two things in common.
Both sold cleverly veiled bull**** which was *dressed up*
as valid future science to geeks, nerds and fools. Modern day
PT Barnum's who wrap their circus act in 5-point colored
paper. Noorey and Bell do the same thing by giving them
and their ilk an occasional microphone today. If they
were not in print media or broadcasting, they all most certanly
would be selling pre-owned automobiles someplace, or perhaps
partners with shady local politicians.


Aha, you've been reading his editorials, not his magazines.
That is the difference between entertainment and information.
