October 15, 2008 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Today, KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh, PA, the oldest radio station in the country, and a CBS affiliate, censored Kevin Miller, one of its conservative talk show hosts while he was on the air.

I didn't actually hear it. My mom did, and told me about it, but her account was nearly identical to misspittsburgh's.

My mom is no political junkie. To the average listener, it seems to be no stunt.

That's all I can give you.

Here comes the fairness doctrine and Big Brother Obama.

[Hones]

I was listening but I'm not buying its real. Kevin Miller is a Republican but he is always respectful of callers and people with different views. Honsberger who is on after him has been on the offensive against Libs for years @ KDKA. No one has tried to shut him down.

[Braak]

Jeez...at this rate, Mr. Miller should be thankful an Obama Campaign “equity counselor” didn’t administer some 9mm “social justice” to the back of the head....

I think the Lead Moderator gives instructions to the Sub- Moderator and the Assistant Sub-Moderator.

DUmmies are so pathetic and desperatee to have their marxist agenda padded by having Obama Hussean elected, it’s almost funny. BUT WE — the pro-American people — should call welfare offices and have them follow up on their welgfare claims - ask why these bottom-feeders are still on welfare and NOT looking for full time employment, as they should. All they do is live online while taking from our taxes (welfare) They are milking the system and opening brag about it. ******These DU RAT trolls are easily talking about trolling FreeRepublic and preparing to massively RIG ALL online polls tonight, as they have flooded them in the past two debates. Just check in on these clowns and read how proud they are for manipulating these national and local polls...they have lists of polls organizing as we speak.....again, their sense of false hope. LOL!!!!!! Bottomline: These leeches on society are sad, pathetic libs have no where else to gain their false sense of hope...a very insecure group of nobody’s. Truly disgraceful bottom-feeders of our society. (Wait a minute, I think I need to puke now!) ********Take a look at the Dummies POLLS

I'm not sure exactly what happened. I caught the last 2 minutes of his show. He said management offered Obama to host his time slot for a day without Kevin Miller being present. Fred Honsberger came on after and confirmed the story and said it was management picking on the new guy. Fred said they would never try anything like that with him.

Still waiting for the text of the on air statement. This is a real story from the radio and I'm doubtful it's a staged event. Time will tell.

[WayneS]

But where does the 2nd Deputy Executive Assistant sub-Admin-Moderator fit into all this?

[fanfan]

Bump for later.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

He/she gets the coffee.

The answer to KDKA should be “It’s your radio station and you can do and say whatever you want. But they are OUR radios and WE can tune them to whatever channel WE want. Good luck with your Air America programming. Ciao.”

[weegee]

Think of how many quotes and gaffes Obama could make talking for THREE HOURS!

[mlocher]

I could not find the article at the provided link. Is this really credible?

[SECURE AMERICA]

Welcome to the Socialist Republic of ObamaNation. Coming soon to your neighborhood as the new Brown Shirts round up dissenters and send them off the the re-education camps..

[roughman]

THIS IS A TRUE STORY. I heard it today on KDKA. The KDKA management came on air @ 2pm and made a statement concerning their new policy for Kevin Millers’ show. KDKA has never done this before. So I do not believe this is a stunt. KDKA management is showing its cowardice in the face of obamas brownshirts intimidation tactics. This situation , in this country is eerily similar to the weirmark preceding the rise of Nazism.Germanies economy was in shambles, an astute, charismatic figure rose and promised change. Hitler then used his brown shirts to enforce his dogma and blunt any dissent.
This country needs to wake up!! Maybe this attempt at censure of Kevin Miller will open some eyes. Lets pray it does.

I was off today...and I listen to Rush (not local shows) when I am doing things at home.

All I can say is 'what the h#ll?' Has the management at KD lost its mind? I went to the Political Junkies linky...and I agree w/Jennifer (a poster there). This is some kind of stunt (maybe an idea was given to them by an Obama protester or two...I remember a few from when I used to listen to Mike Pintek...but hes gone, and I digress I really don't know who their regulars are anymore). Again...some kind of stunt...would Obama 'waste' three hours on AM talk radio in (as Jennifer said) a 'secondary' city/market? No. Would KD like to 'drum up some conservative vibe' by admonishing their noobie host...maybe.

And now maybe...just maybe...this is a little response to the John Murtha 'western PA is troglodite (my phrasing) racists...yada yada yada' commentary of today. Maybe some enterprising KDite decided to play their own 'race card.' Hmmmmmmm...

[Domandred]

This has got to be a stunt. Please tell me this was a stunt.

[GCC Catholic]

Not a stunt. Fred Honsberger, the drive-time host was discussing it further during his show. Since he’s a conservative, his show following Obama would be the only silver lining on the whole shameful ordeal.
