So, can Ted Nugent's career finally die along with Kathy Griffin's?

This weekends On the Media was excellent, digging into media bias and partisanship. One of the best segments was an interview with Thomas Patterson, a government and press researcher at Harvard, who argues that media coverage isn't really guilty of left/right bias so much as a negativity bias. He offers some great examples of what effect this has on public perception. I really encourage you to listen to that segment of the show. It is roughly 10 minutes, with a couple minutes of "please fund us" promos at the front and back end. It helps put a lot of things in context.

The segment in question is Too Much of a Bad Thing.

A thousand times worse, imo.

Yeah, that's not good at all. Some folks just go too far, and he definitely crossed that line.

I will read the reporting afterwards. His statements were released yesterday, so I already have an idea of the content.
