This kind of news makes Mondays feel pretty good. (h/t Scarce)
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…read on
Talk radio took a big step forward after today. I guess it’s just a matter of time before some wingnut operation picks up this MAFer. You know, it probably had nothing to do with this episode with Spocko.

Media Matters explained it all… Stalking TRex didn’t help either. Or getting banned from Newshour on PBS.
“The yelling, interrupting and repeated rudeness by the talk show woman is exactly the kind of thing that keeps me from watching other news/talk shows.” …”We finally pushed the mute button on our remote.” The show’s producer promises “you will never see that person on our program again.” (Morgan once said that Times executive editor Bill Keller should be jailed for treason.)…Read on

Good Riddance.
Whenever a right wing pundit loses it’s job, an angel gets it’s wings!
Melanie Morgan.. one way ticket to Iraq,
no body armor…. hope she wears her
American flag lapel pin
Good riddance!
there’s a spot for her at Bill O’s.
Her audience was so large the company lost 848 million.
Spin baby spin.
This is the only way libs can get there propaganda out, fire someone, how are those rating for Air America?
You know, I rarely come on blogs just to say, “cool,” but, wow….COOL!
w00t!
:D
Don’t let the door hit ya on the arse on the way out!!!
Stiffler’s Mom gets the axe, eh?
God, I love it when right-wing heads explode!–like Chris’s comment above.
One down, oh so many to go!
She’ll get work elsewhere. The right wing needs all the bobbleheads it can get right now.
Stiffler’s Mom?
That harpy does not look the least bit milf-a-licious!
Hmmm….Does this mean that Jack Swanson’s also lost his gig? He’s one of the senior honchos at KSFO (and Melanie’s husband).
Frankly, Melanie accomplished a number of her career advances through that sort of nepotism. She was considered something of a joke among the local newsfolks when she was a “reporter” for KGO radio back in the 1980s.
Anyone surprised? Didn’t think so.
Let go for ‘cost cutting….’
Yo! MM how it be you git de boot ’cause yer shit cost too much…
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Yo!
How dat feel beeotch?
‘Nother eleben years an yo kin get on de SS!
Eat dat cat food!
Like my momma!
Ain’t foolin’…
Ain’t nobody goan wan yer skanky ass!
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Yo!
Chris, it’s ratings not rating. You give the libs the ammo they need to argue that conservatives tain’t all that bright.
Melanie is going to sound much better off the air. Great, in fact.
Always amusing when a capitalist feels the negative effects of capitalism. lol
Here is Melanie playing fashion critic.
One less shrieking harpy.
All I gotta say is, “Who is Melanie Morgan?” Oh, that must explain why she’s off the air.
Classic David & Goliath.
Spocko fought a brilliant fight by targeting KSFO’s advertisers. CBS fired back by waiving their loud & angry stick (ineffective) and it back-fired. Now Spocko is famous, KSFO is shaken up, their advertisers are jumping off, and Morgan is history.
Like someone said at Media-Matters, one mosquito can sure bother a massive beast.
You win Spocko – great job!
She is a caricature of herself, a fat white Mailkin. She can always panhandle.
What kind of person listens to this and thinks it’s entertaining? It’s like listening to a couple of junior high schoolers seeing who can be the most offensive. The fewer of these “entertainers,” the better in my estimation.
I’m confused. Did we just witness poetic justice?
I haven’t seen it in so long, I almost forgot what it looked like.
Gotugye @ 16:
Pardon me, thanks for the correction, now try to look at the big picture for once…….
Without her we have a great chance of Mr. & Mrs. Socialist getting into office, don’t want that do you..
Just look at that picture - that face — she’s bat-sh** crazy — she’s gone round the bend.
You can almost see her eyeballs spinning like the crazy ‘Toon in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” ~~

I’m glad to see that fucking lunatic go away.
But these wingnuts are like hemorrhoids, they always come back. ..she’ll be next to KKKarl Rove on FoxNews in no time. FoxNews is like a half-way house for rightwing hacks.
chris @ 26:
I sure would like to see a Socialist get a shot at the White House. In the meantime, Chris, i think you would feel a lot better after a nap.
Big E @ 3:
Is it true she had her pair pierced? That she wears a flag lapel pin in each one?

Trittydi @ 30:
No, i think it was her hood.
xoites defends Constitution @ 29:
We’ll see if your singing the same tune after your taxes go up 10% and the economy goes down the drain…
PS. Defends the constitution? ummm no with those policies…
Trittydi @ 30:
Yep, to go along with Prince Albert lapel pin.
She lies, smears, yells, act crazy, etc.
And she is now getting … what’s it called?
Oh yeah, KARMA!
oh_please @ 14:
Some things just don’t change.
She’s still a joke.

Oh and by the way, I only heard about her ONCE and it was here at C&L.
Buh bye, thank goodness I never knew you!
I never thought I would see the day!
Hallelujah
This is as good as when KGO took off DOCTOR Laura
Maybe now we can all just get along.
And I promise to listen to KSFO
chris @ 32:
Our economy has gone down the drain.
Give me Mass Transit on a grand scale, quality education with well paid teachers, Universal Health Care and you can double my taxes. Then i could afford to live.
Taarak @ 22:
tho i agree, in point of fact it was abc, not cbs, that was the parent of ksfo and made such a fuss.
chris @ 26:
You just know that Chris ran the above through a spell checker like 20 times before posting.
And about Morgan..to quote BBD.
“That girl is poooiiiisssoooonnnnn.”
chris @ 7:
Oh, don’t sell us short! Wee have plenty uv ways uv getting hour propaganda out their!
Karen @ 41:
I think you mean “ove.”
Imus, Melanie Morgan… if we just took out one a month… hey, why dosn’t somebody start a website to do just that?
I’m especially happy to see Morgan gone. She wasn’t the worst, but there was something especially awful about her. I saw her that one time on PBS and it was like watching someone beating a child. You just wanted to reach in an tear her head off.
If Obama becomes president, we can expect a major realignment in the media, in general. I imagine Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs will be thinking about retirement, about now.
Trash will always find it’s way to another dumpster like Knew.
chris @ 7:
That’s right. In November we’ll fire the Shrub, too. Eat you heart out, loser. Oh, and by the way’ it ’s “their” not “there”. Home schooled?
Spell check is your friend. If you’re a Republic, maybe your only friend.
Bwahahaha
skippy @ 39:
ABC - thanks for the correction.
The uneducated and misinformed are the best friends a Republican politician could ever have.
xoites defends Constitution @ 38:
Interesting, isn’t it? How so many conservatives would rather pay more on a substandard health care system that’s private than a decent public health care system through taxes? I tell ya, I do ok out there, but so much of my income goes to my health care. Insurance, co-payments, battles with the insurance company, covering when they simply decide it doesn’t feel like paying (which it does regularly), dealing with creditors when that happens. I’d pay less under Universal Health Care — less money, less stress, and I’d get better care.
But since they’re so concerned about keeping taxes low, I’m happy to make trade offs. Stop paying for the war on drugs, and use that money for health care. Stop paying for wars, and use that money for education. Stop paying to bail out oil companies and use that money for Social Security. I’ll betcha under our way, taxes would be lower than the way they have in mind.
Hi ya’ll! Is there any college pube left, or did you eat him all up already? Oh well, maybe we’ll just have a peaceful easy feeling instead…that would be nice.
chris @ 32:
Do you mean ‘NOT with those policies’?
This really is like shooting dumb fish in a barrel.
