'Censored' talk-radio scolding a stunt? - Invokes CBS Management

[RamboLiberal]

Several days after a news-talk radio host was reprimanded on air for his coverage of Obama, station executives are now calling the incident a publicity stunt.

KDKA-AM 1020 host Kevin Miller was silenced when executive producer P.J. Kumanchik read a statement that was allegedly from CBS accusing Miller of being unfairly biased against Obama.

"We want to apologize to listeners who have found your show offensive," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Kumanchik said to Miller on the air.

Kumanchik referenced alleged phone calls and e-mails from listeners who criticized Miller for his statements about Obama. He also offered Obama a three-hour spot on the Pittsburgh station in place of Miller's regularly scheduled noon to 3 p.m. program.

The executive producer of the CBS affiliate said Miller, a Marconi Award nominee and former Army Reserve journalist, had featured guests who were not objective when reporting information about Obama, according to reports. Miller had recently conducted an Oct. 9 interview with "The Obama Nation" author and WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi about his investigation of Obama's connections to opposition leader Raila Odinga in Kenya. He called Corsi "a true patriot" upon his return from detention by Kenyan immigration authorities.

For the station that brags they were the first radio station in the country they sure have sunk to a new low level. If I was CBS I'd be reprimanding KDKA and be demanding the firing of Kumanchik and Miller.


The round mound of slob!
