Sports radio has traditionally been an apolitical venue for fans to get away from the news and talk about their favorite teams. But in recent weeks, Bay Area titan KNBR-AM/FM has been flooded with anti-immigration propaganda from the Trump administration, angering listeners and KNBR hosts alike.

“President Trump has a clear message for those that are in our country illegally: Leave now,” Noem said. “If you don’t, we will find you and we will deport you. You will never return.”


How is this racist. Is KNBR stating that all illegal aliens are of one race.

That hasn't been true for twenty years. First line of the story is BS.

The Powers That Be noticed sports programming, and thought, "hey, there are thousands of hours every year of programming going out, and none of it is being used to push the agenda. That's got to change."

Illegal alien Invaders are not immigrants and their incursion to our country is not immigration.

I think rather than allowing the left to call it anti immigration we should force them to call it anti-invasion which is more accurate.

I would assume that those who are in favor of this invasion of third world Scum have never had a daughter raped by an illegal alien or another member of their family killed or crippled by a drunk driving illegal alien. But with the woke you never know.

Even if the majority were white, they would claim racism. It has worked so well for so long, after all.

Exactly. And I’m sure that’s all the more so for a radio station in the Bay Area. And regardless of what actual radio hosts may or may not be talking about, sports itself has been infused with politics for years with one of the most recent examples being players kneeling during the national anthem.

This if from the SF Chronicle. It isn’t worth the paper it is written on or the airwaves it goes over. Nothing but propaganda from the Left, the SF Chronicle’s only product.

The owners of KNBR are selling air time to Homeland Security to employ "hosts" that otherwise might not have a cushy job with benefits. The ungrateful hosts don't like it.

Defund KNBR.

Our local sports station in Atlanta was bombarded their listeners with Harris ads for over 6 months last year.

The late Ralph Barbieri was a leftist and a thin-skinned one.

I suppose they'd consider this short film about President Trump's border wall to be racist.

(from his first campaign's time but even funnier now)

I like seeing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in those video ads. Much better than the BS stuff KNBR would air. And she is pleasant to look at!
