Joe Walsh, Republican candidate challenging Trump, says he lost his radio show
CBS ^ | Aug 27 2019 | EMILY TILLETT, STEPHANIE RAMIREZ

oe Walsh, the former congressman who's challenging President Trump in the Republican Party's presidential primary, said in a Monday night CNN interview that he lost his popular radio show and had just received notice before arriving to the studio for the sit-down. Walsh told CNN's John Berman that he expected the move because nearly "80 to 90%" of his audience supports the president. "I am running for president. I oppose this president. Most of my listeners support the president," said Walsh. "It's not an easy thing to do to be in conservative talk radio and oppose this president."

The conservative had broadcast his show through Salem Radio Network.

Lost his radio show?

Seems to me he just turned his pretty head and walked away.

That’s because as a candidate for political office the network would have to provide equal time to the competitor(s). He should have known/expected that.

RE: Joe Walsh, Republican candidate challenging Trump, says he lost his radio show

Well DUH !! You are not supposed to use a commercial station as a platform for your campaign. That would be a campaign contribution subject to regulation.

Heck, Rush Limbaugh would lose his radio show should he ran for President.

Is it legal to have a show and run for president at the same time. Equal time laws?

He lost his show because conservative don’t likes his show or his ideas ... Guess he’s gonna move on to CNN or MSNBC where ‘conservative’ traitors and backstabbers are revered.

He’s trying to make out like he lost his show because he opposes the president as away to gain support for the Never Trumpers. In reality, he lost the show because he is a candidate for president - no media outlet will allow a candidate for public office continue to host a show during the campaign. otherwise you can run into all kinds of election finance law problems. For example, does allowing him to host constitute an “in-kind” contribution to his campaign?

With a 95 out the top 100 it’s hardly a surprise, and he could not be a candidate and keep it anyway.

Feel bad for his kids, he’s a deadbeat dad.

The surest way to get national publicity and take campaign donations from suckers which can later be converted to personal use.

Jepstein Walsh wants to get a Democrat elected to the presidency.

That means he wants Democrat Federal judges appointed to the bench.

That means he's a Democrat.
