Well, I have heard VB's show, and I think I know why he's being exiled.  He 
stinks, plain and simple, in my opinion.  He just goes on with long rants 
based on a total misunderstanding of the subject he is trying to discuss.

I am glad that WRKO is putting on someone who is not a far right-winger to 
attempt some semblance of balance, although I'll agree with those who 
sometimes find Colmes to be rather caustic.
