For several weeks during 2005, Severin was a contributor to the MSNBC program The Situation with Tucker Carlson, though he was originally billed as a permanent cast member.[3][4] There are conflicting reports concerning the reason for his abrupt departure.

Controversies
Radio Program His radio program Extreme Games (on WTKK-FM Boston) has been criticized by Boston-area media, especially The Boston Globe, on numerous occasions for his harsh comments towards minorities and liberals. However, his choice of topics and on-air persona of libertine sportsman and blues enthusiast has made "Extreme Games" the most popular political radio talk show in New England. WTKK is a New England commercial talk radio station, first broadcast out of Boston on 96. ...

No Pulitzer Prize On 9 September 2005 during an on-air discussion of journalistic standards, Severin described himself as the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for online journalism: "But since journalism began, and up until the time at least that I took my master's degree at Boston University -- and may I add without being obnoxious, up till and including the time that I received a Pulitzer Prize for my columns for excellence in online journalism from the Columbia School of Journalism, the highest possible award for writing on the Web -- right up to and including that in 1998, you still had to practice journalism to be a journalist."[2] The Pulitzer Prize is an American award regarded as the highest national honor in print journalism, literary achievements, and musical composition. ...

Severin has not been a recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, nor does the Pulitzer Prize have a category for online journalism. It was MSNBC.com that won an Online News Association award in 2000, which was administered by Columbia University but completely unrelated to the Pulitzer Prize. Severin had a column that ran in MSNBC.com, but the award was given for the entire site.[2] MSNBC, a combination of MSN and NBC, is a 24-hour cable news channel in the United States and Canada, and a news website. ...
Columbia University is a private research university in the United States. ...
When a caller during his radio show on January 17, 2006 confronted him on this issue, Severin rebutted saying, "I never said that I won the Pulitzer Prize. I never said that ever in my life... If I was in a business of suing people, and if I had a time and money to sue the Boston Globe in particular, I will be a very rich man."[citation needed] January 17 is the 17th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

No Master's Degree Although for a period of 25 years Severin claimed to hold a Master's degree in Journalism from Boston University,[2][7] on 27 September 2005 the Inside Track section of the Boston Herald reported that this is not the case.[8] WTKK's web site advertises that Severin "pursued a masters degree in Journalism at Boston University," yet does not state that he received such a degree.[9] In a brief autobiographical page on his syndicated show's web site, Severin says that he was surprised to learn in 2005 that Boston University had no record of his graduation, stating "...it would appear I have no degree."[7] The Boston Herald is a tabloid newspaper (not to be confused with tabloid press periodicals), the smaller of the two big dailies in Boston, Massachusetts, with a daily circulation of 230,543 in September 2005. ...
Comments on Muslims During the 22 April 2004 broadcast of Extreme Games, as part of his response to a caller suggesting the United States should befriend its Muslim residents, Severin said, "I believe that Muslims in this country are a fifth column.... The vast majority of Muslims in this country are very obviously loyal, not to the United States, but to their religion. And I'm worried that when the time comes for them to stand up and be counted, the reason they are here is to take over our culture and eventually take over our country." Later during the same conversation, Severin asked the caller, "Do you think we should befriend them?" When the caller said yes, Severin responded in part, "I have an alternative viewpoint. It's slightly different than yours. You think we should befriend them; I think we should kill them."[10] A fifth column is a group of people which clandestinely undermines a larger group to which it is expected to be loyal, such as a nation. ...
After these comments were heavily criticized,[11] Severin responded to the criticism during his show on 26 April 2004, "[Someone listening for] any length of time longer than 10 minutes has heard me say that Muslims are not our enemies, that all Muslims are not terrorists," and also offered an apology, "To anyone who may have been offended by misunderstanding or misconstruing my remarks, I want you to know that I regret that. This is never my intention."[10]
Incident with the Boston Globe On April 23, 2004, the day after Severin's controversial comments regarding Muslims, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release which called for the termination of Severin's employment at WTKK. In this press release, Severin was misquoted as saying, "Let's kill all Muslims."[12] The Boston Globe subsequently ran an article on the controversy which included comments by a CAIR spokesperson. From the Globe article: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is an advocacy group which seeks to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding. ...
The Boston Globe is the most widely-circulated daily newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts and in the greater New England region. ...
She [CAIR spokesperson] said he [Severin] then remarked, "I've got an idea, let's kill all Muslims."[13] Two days later, the Globe printed a correction with the actual quote from the radio broadcast: "You think we should befriend them; I think we should kill them."[14] Look up correction in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
Thereafter, Severin has disparagingly referred to the Globe as "the Boston Globe Retractor." However, the Globe never made a retraction since the article in question properly attributed the quote to CAIR. The same article mentions that the general manager of WTKK declined to comment on the alleged remarks by Severin. The Globe's metro editor stated, "There were numerous efforts to get in touch with him [Severin]" about the comments, although Severin claimed, "They made no effort to communicate with me."[11] A retraction is a public statement that confirms that a previously made statement was incorrect, invalid, or morally wrong. ...
The subsequent correction issued by the Globe did not pertain to the article itself; the CAIR spokesperson was wrong, and the Globe corrected the spokesperson. For this reason, the Globe's metro editor said the correction should not have been worded as a reporting error.[11]
