A popular radio talk show host and his wife, who appears on his shows, have disappeared from the airwaves after criticising radical Muslims.
Washington DC radio station WMAL is accused of firing morning host Fred Grandy and his wife Catherine, known as Mrs Fred, according to Accuracy in Media (AIM).

The station says Mr Grandy resigned, but he is saying he was effectively forced to leave.

He should have made his comments about Christianity, both he and his wife would have gotten a huge raise then. When you make comments about the darling religion of the leftist wackos, expect retaliation. That is just the way they operate, completely without honor.

What do I think?
I think it's sad that "freedom of speech" only applies to liberals.
(I'm a moderate, for the record)

Is anyone shocked? I'm not. There is not really such a thing of freedom of speech, if you are a right winger talking about the left, or those who the left cowers to.

What do you all think of this?
Could you be bothered to research what his wife actually said?


Here is the conservative media source that the conservative Mail newspaper cited.

Accuracy in Media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AIM tells us Vince Foster was murdered. It also takes funds from Richard Scaife, a huge scumbag.

Accuracy in Media has received a substantial amount of funding from Scaife who paid Christopher W. Ruddy to investigate allegations that President Bill Clinton was connected to the suicide of Vincent Foster.[9] AIM contends that "Foster was murdered",[10] which is contrary to three independent reports including one by Kenneth Starr.[11] AIM faults the media for not picking up on the conspiracy.[12] The organization has even gone to court for documents and recordings linked to the case.

Interesting. Here's what the radio station says:

Quote:
WMAL did not terminate Fred Grandy’s employment, and never had any intention to do so. Fred informed us on March 2 of his intention to resign from the station. To be clear, at no time has WMAL told Fred that he was not allowed to discuss his views on Islam over the air. In fact, he has done so on numerous occasions. Further, WMAL has not been contacted by any organization seeking to restrict his broadcasts.
Makes you wonder what the real story is.
