Conservatives have long argued that they don’t want politics mixed in with their sports. However, the Trump Administration has recently started an all-out anti-immigration ad blitz on TV and radio stations nationwide, including sports talk stations.
In the Bay Area, local sports talk titan KNBR’s hosts and listeners have voiced their strong distaste for the ads for a few weeks.
President Trump has a clear message for those that are in our country illegally: Leave now,” Noem says in the ad. “If you don’t, we will find you and we will deport you. You will never return.”
According to The Associated Press, DHS invested $200 million in the media blitz, which has been ongoing since the second week of March. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, $30,000 of that went towards the Bay Area’s four biggest broadcast television stations
"This is absolutely insane that we are airing these spots."
“President Trump has a clear message for those that are in our country illegally: Leave now,” Noem says in the ad. “If you don’t, we will find you and we will deport you. You will never return.”
“I’m pissed about that ad,” Copeland said, via SFGate. “Everybody should know that that stupid-ass racist Homeland Security ad that’s airing on KNBR has nothing to do with KNBR. It’s all from corporate. I’ve sent an email. We’re on top of it. If you’ve got stuff to say, call the ‘Whine Line.’ Email [program director Mike] Hohler. We’re on top of it. Nobody wants this on the air. This is an absolute load of B. Nobody wants any of this, dude.”
Copeland also threatened to speak over the commercials and told producer Tim Webb to alert listeners when the ads were coming so they could turn their radios off or change the channel.

Take it up with the station management (I.e. your employers!), d*ckwads!
Advertising pays your wages boys, so...
National security isn’t a political issue.
Stop trying to make it one.
It is what we have had to endure.
Nobody? He apparently thinks he speaks for everyone. Of course, it IS California...
It takes a leftist to think you get to tell your media boss what ads to run!
The late Ralph Barbieri was that way but wasn’t that far out there. KNBR had a big layoff recently. Nobody listening. anymore. Just as well. Maybe this guy wants to get fired. This gig couldn’t pay that much. I remember Larry Kruger referring to ‘brain dead Caribbean hitters’. Real smart.
Actually it’s not the same. We’ve had to endure more vile, anti-God, anti-american, anti-reality and anti-common sense. I’m sure there are more to add, but these are the first that come to mind.
I absolutely stand corrected.
Well, to people who think money is there for the taking, this isn't hard to imagine the stupid douchecanoe would think keeping his job after saying or even doing something like that is unrelated to advertising income for the station.
This happened on March 12. He’s still there.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Wait a minute...
Give em a couple of financial cycles at that station before we see some heat!
It sure as hell is better than:
DON’T
Oh, but dumbass Democrats call it ‘racist’
Sport geeks are annoying and bad enough, but hogjawed leftist sport geeks are much worse.
Always cracks you up when two Lilly white liberals talk about who is racist
Welcome to the lives of conservatives for the past 40 years.
It is what we have had to endure.
