Well, that was quick.
The Boston Herald's Dean
Johnson and the Boston
Globe's Mark
Jurkowitz today report what
was obvious last night: WRKO Radio (AM 680) has decided to put
syndicated right-wing garbage-mouth Michael Savage back on the air
after a one-day suspension.
In yesterday's Globe, 'RKO
program director Mike Elder came across as someone who was at least
going to give
it some thought before
deciding whether to keep doing business with the homophobic Savage.
So in today's Phoenix, I've got an open letter to Elder,
documenting his long record of homophobic outbursts on radio and in
print, long before the rant that got him fired from his MSNBC show
last Saturday.
Well, Mike, read
it anyway. Maybe you'll
learn something.
