PORTLAND - The radio station KNRK at 94.7 FM is issuing an apology to its listeners after talk show hosts Marconi, Tiny and sidekick Nickie J. laughed at and ridiculed the beheading of American Nick Berg. The three were fired Thursday afternoon, after airing the audio recording of Berg's murder repeatedly on Wednesday and laughing at the incident.
"Disgusting… I'm speechless," said one woman.
KNRK and Entercom, the company that owns the station, apparently agreed, playing an apology over the airwaves for their listeners:
The actions of the KNRK News Morning Show were insensitive, inappropriate and repulsive. On behalf of Entercom Portland and KNRK, I apologize to our listeners

After the Air Florida crash into the 14th Street Bridge one of the local radio stations announced that Air Florida was offering special rates, one way, between National Airport to the 14th Street Bridge for only $5.00 or so. They too got fired.

Not one of these guys thought they shouldn't do this? How disconnected from common human decency can one get?

I don't know what the big deal is. Berg's murder is mocked everytime a politician or journalist gets hysterical over the 'abuse' of Iraqi prisoners.

I spent six years as a disc jockey when I was in my twenties.
I said lots of things that now, in my forties, I regret.
Said a few thing I don't regret too.
Local NAACP was doing a fund raiser dinner dance. "Proper dress required" read the announcement.
"Oh, black tie affair," I quipped.
Boy, did I catch hell.
Still like that line though...

abc news used this as a pretext for attacking Hannity for airing the Berg tape. My synopsis

Portland has always been a sewer, hence the old moniker "Little Beirut".
I live right across the river in Washington and we had some of the Portland 6 target shooting not 5 miles from my rural home.

Yeh, it's the old shellgame. Change the issue by redirecting it to something else. The leftists are good at this. Just like Daddy Berg blaming President Bush for his son's murder, when his son was an independent traveler in Iraq.

If I remember correctly, it was none other than Howard Stern who was on the air in DC at the time. A few years later, when the first Post Office shooting happened in Edmond, OK, he tried to get Robin to call and obtain a job application.

Is that fair to baboons? They were probably raised by Democrats.
