This will be mostly of interest to local folks, but I know there are some out there. Mark Madden, who was fired from ESPN AM radio several months ago after making some crude comments about Ted Kennedy upon word of his brain tumor, was hired by WXDX for a 3-6pm show. In his debut on the air yesterday, instead of the usual metal and hard rock we got Mark Madden telling us Obama is a secret terrorist.
I'll have to paraphrase since I wasn't recording it, but basically he said he thought Obama wouldn't say where he was born (he was born in Hawaii), and so he might have been born in Libya and therefore be a terrorist, "something everyone who rides in a plane should be concerned about". In context the part about terrorism was hyperbole (although we all know some people have a poor filter for that sort of thing), but the part about not knowing where he was born was presented as fact and I'm sure we won't be getting an on-air correction.
WXDX should stick to the music.
