FIRED OVER IRAQ SUPPORT?

FIRED OVER IRAQ SUPPORT?

Groups, SF Host Call Attention To Possible Sacto Funny Business

Has ongoing support for America's involvement in Iraq cost a Sacramento talker his job?

After the termination of longtime conservative KFBK / Sacramento host Mark Williams (top right photo), that's what several political groups, as well as a prominent San Francisco talker, seem to be suggesting.

Though "budget cuts" were originally cited as the reason for his departure, Williams was quickly replaced by an outspoken liberal, sparking suspicions about the real motivations behind the move.

Because his replacement is said to be adamantly opposed to American actions in Iraq, groups such as Move America Forward, led by KSFO/ San Francisco morning host Melanie Morgan, have sprung into action.

With some early success already claimed, an advertiser boycott is underway.

In addition, after reports that Rush Limbaugh may soon be removed from Armed Forces Radio, the talk titan is fighting back against recommendations made by Lund Media Research.

The company was recently hired by the military to "modernize" the network's programming schedule.

In my latest Inside Radio column, "Battleground: Rush", we cover both of these issues in-depth. Read it here.

Yes indeed. They made some progress in their mission when they got the Air America programming picked up on Armed Forces radio.

Can you imagine int he 1940's our service members hearing crap like that from their OWN SIDE? And now it's being subsidized and promoted by American tax dollars.

Uggh.

I'm a long way from California so the first time I saw Mark Williams was this morning on Fox where he referred to Hildabeast. Coffee through the nose. He is a very energetic guy. Really nice. I am guessing he is going to do well. I certainly hope so. It appears the radio station lied about the budget cuts.

"I emailed KFBK (Holden) last night and called his office this morning. I wonder if Alex Spanos, who co-sponsored two Freedom Flights of WWII veterans to the WWII Memorial in DC, supports the KFBK shift to anti-war Liberalism??? I would think not."

It's good to hear you've done your duty.

About Alex Spanos, hmmm... that's an interesting point. I know Deborah Johns went on one of those trips. I wonder if she can talk to him???

Ahhhh come on now, be fair. :)

They said they were cutting the budget for CONSERVATIVE programming. They never denied or admitted that they'd then take the money and hire a Bush-bashing, anti-war liberal instead!

Oh, I totally agree, and did my level best while I was still a Californian to get more people to the sane side of the argument.

But, the media overwhelmed my efforts. I heard more concentrated stupidity from people with serious academic credentials there than even on CNN. I gave up.

I do wish you the best in picking up where I left off.

God speed, I98!
