I just found this on Atrios, and well, it made my day:
Melanie Morgan — the conservative radio talk show host who chairs Move America Forward, the group which has led efforts to shame and boycott Berkeley for its anti-U.S. Marine Corps recruiting stand — has lost her job at KSFO 560 AM.
Morgan, 51, delivered her final broadcast there today after 14 years at the microphone, she says in a news release. KSFO owner Citadel Broadcasting decided not to renew her contract as part of the company’s announced across-the-board financial cost cutting.
More....
Atrios links to this article:
Among Morgan’s more incendiary moments:
# Of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, she said, "We’ve got a bull’s-eye painted on her big, wide laughing eyes."
# Of New York Times editor Bill Keller, after the Times published a story on U.S. government tracking of terrorist funding, she said, "If he were to be tried and convicted of treason, yes, I would have no problem with him being sent to the gas chamber."
# Of billionaire financier and political contributor George Soros, after her co-host said Soros had "cheerfully and willingly went to work for the Nazis," she said he’d done so "in order to further his own career."
I remember her when she was a reporter at KGO, and she was a good reporter, not biased, then her KSFO days came, she turned into something I can't even describe, and now? Now she is gone, thank GOD!
She said that her ratings were still good, however one has to wonder how good her ratings were, and how much she was pulling in on ads. The bottom line is that if advertisers take flack for people like Morgan, meaning those advertisers lose money if they advertise on her show, they decide to take their ad dollars somewhere else.
First Morgan, one can only hope that a few others are close behind her. : )
