A media company that employs right wing talk-radio hosts, including Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, and Ben Shapiro, circulated a memo after the pro-Trump riots on Capitol Hill telling hosts to dial down allegations of election fraud, or else face termination.
Cumulus Media sent the internal memo to employees on Wednesday, according to Inside Music Media. The Atlanta-based company owns 416 radio stations throughout the country, many using a talk-radio format with local and national right-wing personalities.
“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Cumulus’s executive vice president of content Brian Philips wrote in the memo. The company “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’”
Philips added, “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

Yah ... watch his eyes ... he’s reading
While driving last night I heard Shapiro. He sure was following the rule. I switched the channel.
Not having a HAM radio license doesn’t remove your ability to use the radio. It may remove your ability to use the radio LEGALLY, but they can’t stop you from using it.
Sounds like Gary Evans in our area needs to buy some more radio stations. Local radio station owner. Strong conservative. 99.1 FM KKFT Reno/Carson City.
Cum-ulus Media is a Left Wing Homo owned corp............................
Past time for conservatives to use the power of the purse to let corporations know we are ready to employ boycott measures to make them feel some pain.
Enough is enough of this crap.
Have they canceled the March for Life yet? I believe it is in a week or two?
Sidney Powell and Lin Wood sent us on a wild goose chase while the Dems were sealing up the holes in the fraud. Once the paper ballots were recounted, the machine problems were out of the picture.
How much energy was wasted on the supposed overseas server fairy-tale, when focusing on demanding signatures be checked would have revealed where the fraud was? The signature checks that did occur were a farce.
We’ve been misled and lied to for years by those supposedly on our side, but who were really just causing chaos and confusion. You’ll notice that Twitter didn’t censor Lin Wood until after the electoral college votes were counted. That guy turned out to be the lefties best friend.
Tick tock, we were fed disinformation promising “soon” for four years on the Hillary crimes, the Comey abuses, the Hunter bribes... and nothing happened.
We not only were treated like suckers, we acted like suckers, too.
And I believe that’s why Clyde Lewis moved over to aftermath when he was tossed out of his flagship station over Thanksgiving weekend.
It's a hard thing to walk away from a job with no safety net, but...
I hope that EVERY SINGLE Cumulus host starts his segment with a diatribe on election fraud and a call for a reexamination and reversal of the Electoral Collage vote.
The absolute worst thing any radio station can broadcast is dead air.
What would a whole day of dead air punctuated by a few opening words from each host cut off in mid-sentence do to the Cumulus brand?
F me? EFF YOU!!!
And it's not going to happen with the left hysterically pushing for a stalinesque crackdown on all dissent.
Two words: Direction Finders.
Figured they’d be coming after Conservative talk radio next! We are at war!
Are all of these companies who are pulling this crap willingly showing that they are as corrupt as the leftist criminals?
That's enemydia newspeak for riots from Antifa/BLM infiltrators of pro-Trump supporters.
I can foresee a number of stations going for cheap. No hosts, no listeners, no revenue.
Say, isn't KKOH a Cumulus station?...
You’re assuming the FCC is going to deploy ground units to find people illegally using radios. I’ve been a HAM long enough to know how radio works.
In case anybody doubted that “controlled dissent” or “authorized dissent” was a thing.
There is US style “free speech,” and there is China style “free speech.” They are differnt to be sure, but neither one is “free” in the usual meaning of the word.
Many people have known the US is “Fake freedom” for years. It is a tightly regulated sham. Elected pols are puppet actors. Good talkers, fancy and lofty rhetoric, and that is all they do. It’s all they CAN do. They lack ability, and most of them are anti-freedom anyway. They are all in on the power of government. They need to get to work “for the people,” who apparantly depend on the government for freedom.
It’s ludicrous. The founders knew that governments are anti-freedom, and must be limited in power. Governments, on the other hand, will never assent to limited power.
I have an alternative point of view, Arrest the executives and top managers of Amazon, Twitter, Google, and Facebook. Let’s stop this revolution dead in its tracks. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
