Melanie Morgan let go from KSFO: with audio & video

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

Or this:

“You’re going to look super in a Burka.”

“I think we should have gone in and just blitzed Iraq. We haven’t had a, a serious war, really, since WWII.”

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.

Taarak Says:

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!

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.

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.

We’ll see if your singing the same tune after your taxes go up 10% and the economy goes down the drain…

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.

tho i agree, in point of fact it was abc, not cbs, that was the parent of ksfo and made such a fuss.

craig Says:

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.

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

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.
