Dan Bongino Ends Radio Program in Vaccine Mandate Battle With Employer Cumulus Media
Epoch Times ^ | 10/29/2021 | Christopher Burroughs

Posted on 10/29/2021 8:11:26 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Conservative radio host Dan Bongino announced his daily show will only air replays while he deals with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate with his show’s parent company Cumulus Media.

Bongino shared the news during his Wednesday online podcast.

“They didn’t consult with us content providers. I strongly object to the mandate,” Bongino said.

“The fight with them is having a real impact. Behind the scenes, it’s getting a little ugly here. I wasn’t on the radio today. I don’t know what they did, played the ‘best of’ or whatever. You don’t treat people this way. You don’t let people go because they insist their body is theirs,” he added.

During Wednesday’s podcast, Bongino also urged listeners to join the Locals platform. Video platforms Rumble and Locals merged on Tuesday after Rumble recently acquired the tech company.

“It is unfortunately an ugly fight. I wish it weren’t,” Bongino said as he reviewed the controversy with Cumulus during his Wednesday episode.

“Some of the people who were fired by Cumulus whose stories are piling in, they are really disturbing. I hear you … I read one of the emails yesterday and I’m going to get to more of them as time goes on.”

Though Bongino is personally fully vaccinated against COVID-19, he opposes the company’s vaccine mandate.

The former New York police officer and Secret Service agent’s message first pushed back on the media group’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate requirement last week.

“You can have me or you can have the [vaccine] mandate. But you can’t have both of us,” Bongino said during his nationwide radio program on Oct. 18.

“I’m not letting this go,” Bongino publicly declared in another post.

“I’m not even considering letting it go. I’m announcing it publicly so you know I’m not letting it go,” he added.

No one can accuse Bongino of being a supplicant. A true freedom loving American.

His podcast is much better than the radio show and is easily available on Rumble and Youtube. It’s an hour long and free-flowing. No outside commercial interruptions!

I have never listened to him on the radio, but have been listening to his podcast for quite a while now. People need to show support, subscribe to his podcast & tune in. Dan’s words are powerful .... his actions, even more so.

Apparently Fox doesn't have a vaccine mandate.

I'd be more impressed if he would come clean on the 2020 Fox News election fraud.

Or at least show some support for Trump.

Til then he's just another Fox News stooge lying to himself and his followers to keep his job.

Once a very respected Dan Bongino is now dead to me.

What do you think of Bill Barr?

I think he was a major component of the globalist left to make sure nobody paid any price for any crimes committed leading up to Trump’s election and thru his presidency. IOW, a complete scumbag and enemy to liberty.

But Dan Bongino speaks very highly of Bill Barr. Needless to say, I wouldn’t trust Dan Bongino as far as I could throw him. I’m guessing this is a stunt because Bongino’s ratings were in the toilet. Either way I’m glad he’s gone. And yes I know this runs very contrary to the opinions of conservatives about Bongino. Apparently I was the only one to hear bongino play the apologist role for Bill Barr one day on his radio station. Up to that point I thought he was fantastic. But again now I don’t trust him worth a damn.

I hope his contract forces them to pay him, but good for him for taking a stand.

Rush had a far bigger audience, and most of that audience stopped listing to Bongino and Clay and Buck. When Rush died, thats when the rating shares dropped off. Bongino was a hack who talked more about his podcast than his radio show. Honestly no loss!
