First CBS and now WHYY-FM. Will it never end?
Rachel Buchman, a 25-year-old ace reporter who has been with the public radio facility for about three years, has quit her job.
The move came after she "lost her temper" and left a voice-mail message to Laptoplobbyist.com, a conservative Internet site.
Her message said, "Hi, my name is Rachel, and my telephone number is... I wanted to tell you that you're evil, horrible people. You're awful people. You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and he wants to kill your children. You should all burn in hell. Bye."
Chris Carmouche, Laptoplobbyist executive director who had never heard of Ms. Buchman, discovered her WHYY (90.9) connection when he returned her call. During their conversation, he questioned her journalistic objectivity.
Then Carmouche e-mailed his 150,000 members a transcript of the message and a link to an audio clip of it. He said he did that "to put some perspective on the term 'media bias.'"
Ms. Buchman resigned or turned in her press card or whatever those public radio folks do and offered apologies "to anyone who I may have personally offended" for what she called a "mistake."
We all make mistakes, Ms. Buchman.
Winston Churchill once said, "any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brain."
You have a long five years to cultivate your gray matter.
I will share an embarrassing secret with you. I once voted for Jimmy Carter.

On another happy note..what's up with Marion Merry?
Your favorite station loses another left y. (LOL)
Ah yes! Rachel is oozing the typical left-wing liberal love she and her ilk are so good at.

”You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being”
She was forced out because she used the word "God" in her phone message.
it was on the front page of laptoplobbyist.com

Good heavens, It seems that Rachel went off her meds....
What's crazy about this message is that it isn't enough just to say that you don't agree with your politics, that you COnservatives are crazy...etc. She wished physical harm on those she disagreed with. That's the difference between us and them.
Another lefty giving peace a chance. Love that tolerance.
How does someone barely out of diapers get to be an ace reporter?
She said this vile stuff so calmly - she clearly is mentally unbalanced.
Not that it was any great loss.
All liberal journalists are "ace" reporters. LOL
The really need to remove the kool-aid dispensers at
NPR/PBS stations. Some people just can't control their
drinking, and start thinking that the "liberal buzz"
they get from overexposure to liberal BS, is real.
