Boston University’s student radio station has canceled a planned benefit concert for the Mass Bail Fund after the fund has come under heavy criticism for bailing out a convicted rapist who’s now charged with striking again.

The student-run BU station WTBU said in a statement Friday afternoon, “Due to recent news about the Massachusetts Bail Fund helping to release defendants with serious charges, we have decided to cancel today’s concert. We apologize for our ignorance about the Mass Bail Fund and for triggering any trauma while recently supporting the fund.”

Liberalism really is a disorder.

WTBU is online and maybe carrier current.
Their big broadcast station is WBUR-FM which is an NPR news and talk station, famed for syndicating Car Talk

Howard Stern was at WTBU early on. At one point I picked it up on 640 AM in Kenmore Sq.

Hmm. Now we see buyer’s remorse setting in. Good.

Wikipedia:
>>Famous WTBU alum include Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed King of All Media. He attended B.U. in the mid-1970s, and WTBU was the first station to fire Stern. As mentioned in his book Private Parts, his show (the King Schmaltz Bagel Hour) once aired a segment called “Making the Bishop Blush” in which they pretended a local Catholic Bishop was in the studio. They proceeded to make lurid statements and asked if the Bishop was blushing yet. Then-Program Director Hank Sennott was listening and fired Stern on the spot.

Many WTBU alumni have gone on to careers in broadcasting and related fields, including:

Pete Gustin, WEEI-FM & Pete’s Bits

Those stupid pigs can’t even say that a serial rapist was released and raped again. They should be reaching out to all the rapists victims and do a fundraiser for them. No excuses...they are supposed to be adults. Would never hire any of these arrested development drones. ‘Bout as useful as a broken leg.

“We apologize for our ignorance...”

A condition, not necessarily solely held only by liberals, but it is a condition all liberals do have in abundance.

Oopsie! Sorry! Bad optics. Now WHO could have foreseen this happening?

Liberals have absolutely no understanding of cause/effect, action/consequences. None! It cracks me up when rhey spout “Science, science!” when they come up with a new arbitrary quarantine rule.
