CBS Sunday Morning Paints Unfair Picture of Conservative Radio
Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing multiple stories that unfolded over the weekend, first telling of a CBS Sunday Morning story on the ‘divisive nature’ of conservative radio, which he was interviewed for. Dom sat down with Jim Axelrod for about an hour and a half telling about the positivity of talk radio in a very rational discussion.
Dom explains how much he enjoyed the conversation, but explains how it must’ve not painted the divisive picture that CBS was trying to paint in their expose. Then, Dom offers his thoughts on the weekend of fantastic Philadelphia sports, with the Phillies winning the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves, and the Eagles sustaining an early lead to take a win against heated rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Dom tells that Jill Biden was booed at the game, but the NBC broadcast showed the crowd cheering, and expresses his frustration with the continued support that Philadelphia shows rapper Meek Mill.

Best-Selling Author Nelson DeMille Checks In To Discuss Newest Installment in John Corey Series
In today’s second hour, Dom welcomes in one of his favorite fiction authors Nelson DeMille onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his newest installment in the John Corey Series, The Maze, where a former NYPD detective finds himself involved in a dangerous hunt for a Long Island serial killer from the early 2000s. DeMille, a widely-renowned author, has been facing some negative criticism for the lack of political correctness in Detective John Corey, his main character, and tells why he doesn’t mind the negative pushback because with it comes underlying positivity. In addition to telling us about his newest book, DeMille suggests who he’d like to see play the main character if the series were turned into a television series.
Councilman David Oh Speaks Out Against Roving Packs of Dirt Bikes and ATVs
Then, Dom welcomes in Philadelphia Councilman David Oh back onto the Dom Giordano Program after the Councilman faced some pushback on Twitter for suggesting that these roving gangs of dirt bikes and ATVs are regularly armed. Later, after getting blasted for his thoughts, news broke of two ridiculous situations that played out in Philadelphia, with a pack of off-roaders first shooting a security guard after the South Street Festival, then the next day surrounding a police cruiser, smashing the windows with rocks. Oh expresses his disappointment with the situation, telling of his frustration with the disingenuous nature of those who say that by enforcing certain laws is racist, explaining that no matter your skin color, everybody wants and expects safety in their City.
Talkers Magazine’s Michael Harrison Taken Out of Context by CBS Sunday Morning
In today’s third hour, Dom welcomes in Michael Harrison, Founder and Publisher of Talkers Magazine, back onto Dom Giordano Program to discuss the unfair expose that CBS Sunday Morning ran on conservative radio, trying to paint a picture that conservatives hosts are arbiters of hate. While both Harrison and Giordano sat for long interviews with host Jim Axelrod, unlike Dom, Harrison made the cut as the producers took his words out of context to help further their divisive point about talk radio and conservatives. Harrison takes us inside his interview, and tells the points he was trying to make in painting a very fair picture of the positives produced by talk radio. Harrison explains that he doesn’t consider himself a conservative, rather an ally to the moderate sects of both the Democratic and Republican Party, and tells why he was so frustrated to be taken out of context in a segment which portrayed itself as promoting unity while exuding divisiveness.
