The ban of Rudy by his boss didn't happen in a vacuum. In many cases such a ban comes from government coercion and lawfare. Any government coercion limiting free speech is a violation of the First Amendment.

You have NO proof of that. There are plenty of other hosts who talk about it daily not only on local radio, but syndicated shows such as Beck, Hannity, Prager, Charlie Kirk and so forth.

Is it your opinion that there is no evidence that the Biden administration, using the FBI and the CIA have been telling certain platforms to limit certain opinions, because those opinions are Russian disinformation that threaten our security and democracy?

Again, you don’t know that. John Catsimatidis, the billionaire Republican businessman who owns the station, said he had made the decision after Mr. Giuliani refused to avoid the topic despite repeated warnings. “We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election,” Mr. Catsimatidis said in a brief phone interview. “We warned him once. We warned him twice. And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it.” “So,” Mr. Catsimatidis continued, “he left me no option. I suspended him.”

As for Rudy, in a statement, he called WABC’s policies “a clear violation of free speech.” So if Al Sharpton got banned by FR or MSNBC that’s a clear violation of free speech?

Why is it just Rudy who wasn’t terminated in a vacuum? Why not the others I mentioned up thread? They all have as much audience if not more than Rudy.

We’ve grown far too reliant on crutches when bad things happen to our people.
