(9,298 posts)Like this one from a person in San Diego:
"It's as simple as this... If I said anything remotely near what he said at work, I'd be fired. No two ways about it. I can say whatever I want in private but not when the public is involved and I'm being paid. That's exactly why Stern left public radio and he seems to be doing just fine."

I am sick and tired of that crap and hate-mongering being spewed all over Los Angeles! I refuse to listen, but many more here do. And they can be adversely influenced if they listen long enough. It's not enough to boycott his sponsors. His reign of hatred needs to come to an END, assuming of course that KFI recognizes its responsibility to serve the public interest, on the public airwaves. How is broadcasting three hours a day of hatred, derision, and division, serving the public interest, here - or ANYWHERE, for that matter? This needs to END. This toxic hatemonger needs to be TAKEN OFF THE AIR PERMANENTLY.

(9,298 posts)Limbaugh has abused the air waves for decades. Yes, he's polluted them, but ABUSE I think is the reality that could get him permanently removed. I believe if KFI does it in L.A., smaller markets might be more inclined to do it, too.

How to fight back at the local radio, with insights from a former radio person. As one of those, myself, I can vouch for the good ideas in it. I have personally personally witnessed how effective these strategies can be.
And here's a link to register a complaint to Armed Forces Radio:

(9,298 posts)Bringing this back because 10,000 signatures are now being asked for. Petition is still very much alive and needs some help.

(1,925 posts)I always refer to the sex tape when signing a petition, because the MSM always leaves that out of the Rush controversy.
