Morton downey came on opposite nightline in the late 80s where i lived...i watched it every night...totally entertained and informed...and loved the way MDJ had his beliefs and stuck by them come hell or high water

Morton’s opinions are more relative today than they were in 1989.
@nagmastergeneral557 күн бұрын
I was young and single the first time I watched and hated MDJ. I wasn't prepared for the rude awakening. For daytime television, he was shocking. Then I respected his right to have an opinion. As his TV show expanded to nationwide, he also had a change of heart about some issues and mature enough to say as much. He'd been scolded and warned from censorship and sponsors. He was an honest guy who spoke from his heart. RIP Mr. Downey.

When did Morton pass? I used to watch his show, religiously, with my sister when we lived in Florida in the late ‘80’s.
@nagmastergeneral556 күн бұрын
I think he passed in the mid 90s from cancer. Before passing, he expressed many regrets with a soft heart and voice. He's the guy who taught me tolerance and forgiveness, because I first disdained him; then I became more accepting of people's differences. Then I treasured him.

His death was around March of 2001 if I remember correctly. A number of years ago, I was in contact with a man who was personal friends with Morton. He mentioned the exact same things about Morton that you did.

Donahue is hugely responsible for the types of politicians we have today and the idiots who vote for them. He was a classier version of Joy Behar. Mort invented the talk show circuses like Geraldo and Springer that followed. It's hard to say which was worse for society, but I'd propose it was Donahue, because people took his show more seriously, which is more effective for indoctrinating people. Donahue pushed the Leftist agenda by demonizing the opposition and celebrating liberals who adopted the Leftist ideology. It pushed the narrative that you were a "good person" if you accepted/celebrated homosexuality, abortion, and veiled communism as moral and if you slightly opposed any of it, you were a "bad person". In those days, most liberals opposed those issues until the brainwashing took hold. Donahue was the perfect tool for infecting the masses and it's likely that he had government handlers rewarding him for it. Morton Downey Jr. and the types after him helped to cement the Leftist ideology into our society by painting a picture of anti-Leftists as dumb hillbillies and psychos. I think Morton Downey Jr.'s show did a better job at poking fun at ignorance from all sides, but Geraldo and Springer took his effective platform and used it as a tool to create a false image of morality, making it 'cool' to buy into Leftist nonsense and if you didn't, you were the villain on their shows.
