Another infringement on free speech by the left. First the book bannings, now politically correct radio.

Did you say Seattle? You mean the place that has Lenin's statue?

the so called liberal people, the ones all for freedoms of expression and all the other b.s. they lie about shows its true colors ad infinitum. The radio host mentions Rather retiring or terminated but instead he gets canned.
Modern liberalisms = rule by iron fist and opression

That's not it.
This order came down from corporate, I'd say.
These people really are stupid.
If CBS NEWS survives this, or the CBS network at all, with the way they've been going, this will be their most shameful time in their history. The coverup and denial will become a thing of legend.
The only thing that is going to end this nonsense is a shareholders' revolt at this point.

I went to Border's this evening. I could not believe the multitude of anti-Bush books. Even in the History section, the anti-Bush books were turned so that the whole face of the book was showing. I was disturbed by it, but wanted to just yell "See everyone on November 3. Laughing my butt off!!"

As Seattle is so close to the Canadian border you would think that they were aware of the threat to their way of life!
But I guess all that rain has soaked their brains to point of denial!
Nice job CBS, with a preponderance of evidence you just may have woken up some of the sheep that live in WA state.

Time to call the top 10-20 advertisers. Perhaps then KIRO will understand.

You know, I don't listen to KIRO, they tend to be more liberal, and not one of the two conservative talk radio stations here (KVI and KTTH). I don't know this host - I've no idea if he was liberal or conservative, but it's an interesting action either way.
Actually more interesting if he's liberal...they are eating their young over this.

A statue of Lenin is in Seattle?
How appalling. I'd like to see some pigeons freep that monstrosity.

"What they have expressed is essentially that my show went in a direction they're not comfortable with," Maloney said.Yet, they are comfortable with trying to destroy the President with forged documents.
