KSFO is a San Francisco based radio station owned by ABC (of Disney-ABC). It hosts some of the most vicious talk show hosts on radio, Melanie Morgan, Brian Sussman, Lee Rodgers among them. It is a shame on the City that Knows How these bilge-mouths are associated with the sweet Saint’s name. Here for example are two Rodgers’ quotes:
* Rodgers on a repeat offender in Lincoln, Nebraska: “Some SOB like this — you know, lock him up, throw away the key. Better yet, put a bullet between his eyes and get it over, because he’s never gonna be worth a damn, never gonna be anything but a criminal anyway. … Now, you start with the Sears DieHard — the battery cables connected to his testicles and you entertain him with that for a while, and then you blow his bleeping head off.” (8/16/06)
* Rodgers’ suggestion of how to punish an arsonist responsible for a forest fire: “I say they catch the person, tie ’em to a post and burn ’em. Set ’em on fire.” Morgan added: “Hog tie ’em first. That would be good.” (10/27/06)
Various bloggers have posted audio clips and portions of transcripts from the hate-filled swill — you know, freedom of speech and all that.
ABC Inc, on December 21st, sent to one of the most prominent bloggers, one Spocko, and to his Internet provider, a Cease and Desist letter claiming that the posted clips infringed copyright. The Internet provider turned tail and Spocko went off the air for a while.
He seems to be back up, here. And still on his campaign to inform advertisers of what they are paying for. Whyn’t you join him?
