"The Lion Lyin' of the Left!"

MARCH 5--The San Francisco radio host facing child pornography charges lied to federal officials about his whereabouts after investigators recently received an alert that he had violated his "electronic monitoring schedule." Bernard Ward's bail violations are mentioned in a February 28 "status memorandum" sent by a pretrial services officer to Judge Maria Elena James (the memo provided James with an account of Ward's first months under electronic monitoring). The document, a copy of which you'll find below, does not describe where Ward, 56, went on December 21, when officials discovered his bail violation. During a subsequent court hearing, Ward admitted the monitoring violation and acknowledged giving "false information to Pretrial Services regarding his whereabouts" when first confronted by federal agents. The government memo notes that Ward was "strongly admonished" by James, who did not revoke his $250,000 bail package, which, among other things, limits his contact with children, imposes a curfew, and confines him to his home (except when he takes his children to and from school or when he goes to work). Following his arrest, Ward was fired from his job at KGO Radio, though last week he told a pretrial services officer that "there is still a chance" that he may be allowed to "return to work in the near future."

Could be, the station was sick enough to hire him in the first place.
Hi and welcome to "Ask a Pedophile Porn Pervert, with Bernie Ward!
Couldn’t happen to a Nicer Person/sarc.
Has Scott Ritter been filling in during the absence?
It makes me smile to see Bernie get his come-up-ance. He’s been so annoying for so many years.
I think Citadel purchased KGO and KSFO at the same time - if they didn’t renew Melanie Morgan’s contract, and she had a pretty good following, I can’t see them giving that POS back his show. He probably thinks he’ll get back the same way Imus did - yeah, good luck with that.

You’re exactly right. He has no chance of being re-hired. Talk radio in general is tanking because of corporate mismanagement. Even in a positive business climate, I’d have doubts about this guy getting his microphone back, but at this point, I’d say that it’ll never happen.
not surprised by this guy....would not be surprised to find that other large arse idiot leftist to be similar in "taste".
Very sorry to hear of Mel’s axing. I enjoyed the banter among the three of those folks, Lee, Mel, and Vic...and while I wondered at some level how a radio show could support the three salaries, I find the show quite a bit “dryer” now. Yes, Lee is I guess far more “profesional” but I liked the balance and I liked her “jawy” voice for some reason. But Citadel is losing boatloads of money. Though I generally agree with him idealogically, I really don’t like Sussman very much.
Not to worry, I’m sure it’s all still just part of his research. Just wait until it’s done. I’m sure that we’re all going to be very impressed. (/sarc)
A left wing talk radio host that lies. That’s news?
The lion of the left - back on the prowl (stalking the lambs).
I almost didn’t recognize him without Princess Leia chained to him.
Ya think the Doc has seen this yet?
Truthfully, I enjoy his evening show where he takes lots of calls more than when he fills in for Lee in the a.m., mostly because we get to listen to a lot of moonbats call up and demonstrate in a few minutes of blubbery speech why the only smart people you know are conservatives.
Bet it’s not on nightly nooz....
Looks like Bernie is in line for a time out. Don’t pass go. Do not collect $200. Forfeit your bail and go straight to jail. I wonder if the cops pulled the security tapes for the Palm Theater.
