1. Yup. It did a lot of damage to liberal talk radio in SF. In fact shortly after Kgo radio was

Destroyed by Cumulus

One of the most progressive cities in the country has very little progressive radio programs, which only demonstrate just how much the right wing have taken over our air waves

I just thought he fell off the face of the earth on purpose. Thanks for the info.

4. I used to listen to Duane Garrett and Bernie Ward back-to-back on KGO

when I lived in Sacramento for a few years in the 1990's. Duane Garrett jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and then Bernie Ward went to prison. I was on lunch break listening to KGO when they announced the suicide of Duane Garrett.

There is nothing like that on the radio any more. We do have the internet now, which is much better.

6. Sick bastard.

"Ward admitted to a single felony charge of distributing child pornography and signed an admission of distributing between 15 and 150 images via email."

Isn't there some sort of federal law that allows victims of child pornography (if they can be found and identified) to sue people who distribute their images?
