WMAL in dhimmitude: fires Graham
From Graham's websiteMONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2005 WELL, THEY GOT ME... The First Amendment and I have been evicted from ABC Radio in Washington, DC. [actually the first amendment is not in question - Graham can say what he wants and WMAL can hire who it chooses] On July 25th, the Council on American-Islamic Relations demanded that I be âpunishedâ for my on-air statements regarding Islam and its tragic connections to terrorism. Three days later, 630 WMAL and ABC Radio suspended me without pay for comments deemed âhate radioâ by CAIR. CAIR immediately announced that my punishment was insufficient and demanded I be fired. ABC Radio and 630 WMAL have now complied. I have been fired for making the specific comments CAIR deemed âoffensive,â and for refusing to retract those statements in a management-mandated, on-air apology. ABC Radio further demanded that I agree to perform what they described as âadditional outreach effortsâ to those people or groups who felt offended. I refused. And for that refusal, I have been fired. [I think it is quite possible he will get a new gig and from the gig, the CAIRites will wish they hadn't ever picked on him] Posted by: mhw 2005-08-22 |
