Bad stuff has been happening to talkshow host Art Bell. None of these trial replacement hosts have the intelligence or showmanship that Art has. They aren't even in the same league. Then they had that kiss-ass Witley Strieber on who acts like everyone on Earth has been abducted and horked by aliens. Nobody knows why the network might be gearing up to replace Art.
Nobody seems to know what that's all about either.
Art claims that he repeatedly warned Oates not to talk about any metaphors that impugned Major Dames' credibility, but Oates refused to shut up, so he was banned from Art's program forever, and all signs that Oates had ever been a guest were removed from Art's web site. That's when Oates went on a rampage , teaming up with another arch foe of Art's, the mysterious Robert A.M. Stevens , who was also a former Coast to Coast guest permanently booted from the show because his interview was so sideways that Art abruptly terminated it after only 12 minutes of air time. Meanwhile, Oates took over the Saturday night slot of the Art Bell knockoff show, Sightings On The Radio , normally hosted by Jeff Rense . Besides boring the universe to death with speech reversals, and hawking his reverse tape recorders, Oates has been providing Stevens a platform to smear the hell out of Art. He came out of nowhere six months ago, and his claims about his background, such as that he is a former Navy SEAL and a NASA contractor, either cannot be verified, or have been thoroughly debunked .
