KSFO - Flagship of the Right Wing Noise Machine

Over at the Daily Kos, WinSmith writes about the need to take away the cartoon reality that insulates so many Republicans from the real world.

The voices in the dark that reassure them that the falseness is okay are their one ritual protection from the painful truth of awareness. If they lose talk radio, they collapse.

Thus the danger when we expose KFSO in San Francisco, isn't simply the removal of a few hate spewing Z-list celebrities from their 75K a year job.

It is the removal of the curtain of false reality.

When you've spent years building a false reality, when you live in a bubble network of fact-free amplification and continual reassurance by like-minded cultists, this danger is as real as if a gun was pointed at your child.

That is why they shriek.

That is why they scream.

That is why they are terrified.

We are not threatening a radio station. We are threatening the fabric of reality that holds together their lives.

Without constant reassurance from right wing talk radio, people hanging onto the lies of the Republican Party and their corporate and religious fringe masters will have to begin to question things on their own.

Republican Corruption

The Bush Administration has sent a chilling message to federal law enforcement officers this week. United States Attorney Carole Lam was told to resign and that demand by the Bush Administration was leaked to the press. It is virtually unprecedented for a chief law enforcement officer like Lam to be kicked out of such a post.

Speculation that the Bush administration allegedly has asked San Diego-based U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, the region's chief federal prosecutor, to step down was met with disbelief and dropped jaws by legal community members with ties to federal court.

"I was in a state of shock," said Peter Nunez, who served as the U.S. attorney in charge of the San Diego offices from 1982 to 1988. "It's just like nothing I've ever seen before in 35-plus years. To be asked to resign and to be publicly humiliated by leaking this to the press is beyond any bounds of decency and behavior. It shocks me. It really is outrageous."

Unprecedented unless the Bush Administration and Republican Party leaders are upset that Lam had made white collar crime and government corruption a priority for the San Diego region. Lam was responsible for the investigation and conviction of Republican congressman, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, and she is responsible for conducting the on-going investigation into Brent Wilkes, the San Diego business man in the middle of the Cunningham probe, who also has close ties to the Bush Administration and the CIA.

KSFO DISNEY HATE FEST

Before it drops off the radar, read through KSFO's lame attempt to convince the world that all its racial slurs, advocacy of torture and desire to kill anyone who disagrees with its on air personalities is just good clean fun.

Now is the time to push right wing hate radio back into the hole it crawled out of in the early 1990's. Part of the Republican Revolution.

KSFO Still Spewing Hate

KSFO will attempt to boost it ratings with a blogger bashing tomorrow. KSFO's host and management will control the content of the discussion in a special three hour "town hall
meeting" where they will get the last word on every subject. You can get the details here as KSFO twist and turns to try and convince advertisers that their brand of hate radio isn't as bad as, well, their brand of hate radio sounds to reasonable people.

It might be that the fact that the MSM has picked up this story. It might also be the fact that no matter how the MSM coverage is pitched, KSFO and Disney come out smelling rotten. Here is coverage from the SF Chronicle.

KSFO, Disney and Hate Radio (Spocko, too)

Over at Zen Cabin, Ripley tells us way the Spocko, KSFO, Disney dust up matters.

Ripley also tells us more about KSFO's Melanie Morgan's other right wing haunt, Move America Forward. Move America Forward is nothing more than an astroturf front for a right wing Republican PR firm, Russo, Marsh and Rogers (RM+R) and Morgan bangs the drum over there in the same way she does at KSFO.

After all, RM&R has a vested interest in maintaining Melanie’s image. And ‘Move America Forward’ spends a lot of time and text trying to move the conversation away from Melanie and back to ‘liberals hate America and love terror!!’. Plus, they ‘send cookies and Gatorade to the troops’. Hell’s bells! That’s practically taking on a dirty fucking terrorist with your bare hands!

RM&R is also responsible for promoting several ‘pro-troop’ videos, some of which can be seen on the YouTube. I’ll leave it to you to find them. (It turns out that Saddam Hussein was some kind of bad man. Oh, if only the Evil Liberal Media had reported such revelations!)

Hate pays the bills for lot of the Republican right.

CBS Confirms KSFO's Lost Advertisers

Here is the video of CBS5's story on KSFO and Spocko. It is an excellent piece.

MSM, Spocko, KSFO and Disney

Here is a link to the story that will run on the 11PM news in San Francisco.

At least two major corporations have pulled their advertisements from radio station KSFO-AM after bloggers publicized clips of broadcasts in which hosts took aim at politicians and a listener believed to be Muslim.

A series of remarks that aired on KSFO over the past year has sparked fury in the blogosphere. In recordings made by one blogger and posted online, talk show host Brian Sussman, who is a former CBS 5 weathercaster, grills a listener over whether the man is Muslim.

More advertisers will follow if you just give them a chance. Ask them why they support hate when there are other alternatives.

Disney, ABC, KSFO and HATE

Great summary from Media Matters.

Main Stream Media Finds A Story

The 11 PM report on San Francisco television CBS5 will include a discussion as to why hate radio KSFO is losing advertisers.

Check it out. Then write, call or email on of KSFO's unknowing advertisers.

KSFO's Melanie Morgan Hates The Weather

When KSFO hate talk personality, Melanie Morgan, smells a liberal rat, she immediately goes in for the kill. Her latest target, The Weather Channel! Apparently, the Weather Channel has bought into the myth of global warming and Morgan wants concerned citizens to get the Weather Channel out of the business of education and back into the business of reporting record high temperatures and other assorted, but non-global warming related phenomena.

Morgan encourages the readers of her World Net Daily column to contact the Weather Channel and tell them to stop liberalizing the weather.

There's a con job going on at The Weather Channel, and it's time that viewers let the network know it's time to stop the liberal politicization of weather reporting.

I kid you not.

KSFO Down Another Advertiser

According to Spocko's Brain, KSFO hate radio has lost another advertiser. After being made aware of what the ABC/Disney outlet considered entertainment, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation decided to not run any additional ads on the station.

Here is part of the exchange between MEDC executives and bluestatedon as reported on Daily Kos.

After I read last week that the Michigan Economic Development Corporation had advertised on KSFO, I sent emails to James Epolito, MEDC President and CEO, and Lisa Dancsok, MEDC VP for Marketing, Communications and Legislative Affairs, to inform them of the situation. I received a personal response via email that evening from Ms. Dancsok, informing me that they were investigating the situation immediately.

Yesterday, I received a phone call from Jim Epolito himself. He'd already met with with Governor Granholm about the situation, and needless to say she was horrified that money had been spent on advertising on that station.

Pick a company from the list of KSFO advertisers and see if that organizations management isn't just as "horrified" by being associated with the extreme hate and violence filled rhetoric that constitutes "entertainment" on KSFO.

KSFO, Spocko, Disney and the Extreme Right

OnLine Media Daily has an excellent summary of Disney's attempt to stifle free speech in support of its hate speech talk radio station, KSFO. In his article Tom Siebert describes a typical day for anyone in the western states who might tune into KSFO:

What they heard was drive-time hosts endorse torture, insult Muslims and enact the execution of journalists. When some advertisers fled, the Disney legal department briefly killed the messenger with a cease-and-desist order, alleging copyright violation.

Siebert points out that Disney is struggling with a great deal of baggage from the last six years of what appears to be a corporate love affair with the values of right wing extremism.

During the Bush administration, Disney has repeatedly shown a willingness to put right-wing allegiance over profit. It disassociated itself from Michael Moore's extremely profitable agitprop documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." More recently, it aired the controversial "Path to 9/11" docudrama miniseries on ABC television without commercial support when advertisers balked. The program contradicted the U.S. government's bipartisan "9/11 Report" in order to fictionally cast actions of the Clinton Administration in a poor light.

See below on this blog for a list of KSFO's advertisers or you can contact ABC and Disney directly. Zenia Mucha is the Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications for the Walt Disney Company, phone number is (818) 560-5300. Or email, Heather Rim the Vice President of Communications for ABC at heather.rim@abc.com.

Ask them why the value hate speech so much more than free speech?

Disney Has No Comment

Torture, racism, assassination.... All apparently good as far as the folks at ABC/Disney are concerned.

Mike Stark called them to ask about their support for hate radio. The courageous folks at Disney apparently have "no comment" regarding KSFO's continued spewing of hate.

Not much of a surprise here.

KSFO, ABC , Disney - Make Them Pay For Their Own Hate Speech

Mike Stark keeps the ABC/Disney "right to spew hate" story alive over at Huffpo.

Most of you know that Disney owns ABC. ABC, of course, owns the ABC Radio Network. Finally, ABCRN owns KSFO, a hate-radio talker in San Francisco. Common to every level of the corporate chain is an abiding affinity for Republican rule and a willingness to use hate and deceit in furtherance of their political objectives. Most recently, ABC set themselves up as the arrogant peddlers of the propaganda hit piece, "Path to 9/11" that blatantly lied about the path to 9/11 in ways that glorified Bush while smearing Clinton's role. The ABC Radio Network is home to Sean Hannity. KSFO? Well, you'll see (and hear).

Hate is all they have and they are going to play that card down to the wire. What we need to do right now is make them show how much hate means to them. Make them pay for their own hate talk and not pass those costs on to the consumers.

KSFO Meet The General

Jesus General weighs in with some good programming advice for Disney. Expand on the hate, don't back down. If a little hate sells, a lot of hate will sell even more.

Here are a few of the Generals suggestions to Disney President and CEO Robert Iger:

What could be more entertaining that a show about castrating brown people hosted by Brian Sussman? I can almost see Donald Duck emasculating the seven dwarfs with big cartoon scissors after he catches a very swarthy Doc reading the Koran.

Certainly, Melanie Morgan's show about assassinating Speaker Pelosi would be a big hit as well. It might even be funnier than castration if Goofy were called in to the animated demonstration.

And what a Wonderful World of Disney it would be to have Lee Rogers host the show where Mickey Mouse turns the valves on a "delousing shower" for Indonesians.

You can add your endorsement to the General's ideas and pass it on to KSFO's advertisers. Here is the list.

KSFO's Featured Advertisers

Here are some KSFO advertisers whose support is touted directly on the KSFO website. Give them a call and ask them if they make their customers or employees proclain that "Allah is a whore" before they will do business with or employ them? Ask them if they feel that being associated with such hateful comments is good for their business?

Why Does Disney Hate Free Speech?

Why does ABC/Disney want to you to hear rabid hate filled radio "free speech," but threaten a lawsuit when someone asks ABC/Disney's advertisers if they actually endorse that "free speech?"

Apparently, ABC/Disney has a different view of "free speech." It is not a problem for Disney to have its KSFO radio station advocate torture, murder and religious cleansing, but it is a problem if anyone calls them on that behavior.

According to A.J. Kandy at King Marketing, ABC/Disney may be on the wrong side in this argument.

ABC/Disney are tarnishing their own brand by lending their legal muscle to rabidly right-wing San Francisco talk affiliate KSFO. In doing so, they’ve also enraged the blogosphere with their shut-down of a critical blog that was hosting clips of their shows under Fair Use educational purposes.

The list is here. Contact KSFO's advertisers and ask them on which side of the torture, murder and extermination equation they come down?

KSFO - Disney Selling Hate

Here is the message that KSFO broadcasts daily. Remember KSFO is part of ABC and ABC is owned by Disney.

For more details check in with Ripley here.

If KSFO's "personalities" believe in what they say and if ABC and Disney stand behind them, then losing their sponsers won't stop them. And, that's fine with me. I don't want to stand in the way of free speech, but I just don't want to see it sponsored by my purchases.

KSFO can continue in its current format and continue to advocate the violent death of journalist, Muslims, liberals, etc. Promote torture and the mass extermination of religious groups. As long as I don't pay for it with a trip to Disneyland.

Let's see how long Disney will support hate speech if there is no money in it.

KSFO Advertisers - Contacts

Hate radio's San Francisco outpost is becoming an uncomfortable place for those who hide behind "free speech" to advocate torture, murder and religious cleansing.

If you have a few minutes and can afford a stamp or two, drop some of these folks a note today. Here is the format that Spocko used in his communications with AT&T to ask them to stop advertising on hate radio.

Here is contact and other information regarding some of KSFO's advertisers. Contact them and include some of the specific things that are being said on a daily basis on KSFO. Ask them how they feel about having their organizations image directly associated with hate speech? Be polite.

KSFO, ABC and Disney In Their Own Words

Listen to what passes for political commentary on KSFO in San Francisco. Call, email or write KSFO's sponsors and ask them why they advocate murder and torture.

KSFO Hate Radio

More and more blogs are joining in to focus on the hateful behavior of radio station KSFO in San Francisco. KSFO is an ABC owned broadcast enterprise. And, of course, ABC is owned by Disney.

KSFO has been at the cutting edge of right wing radio for several years, but as the fortunes of the Republican Party and the right wing in general have begun to fall on hard times, KSFO's on the air "personalities" have been advocating violence toward anyone with whom they disagree. And, they disagree with almost everyone in the United States. Women, minorities, liberals, Democrats, gays, union members, the list is endless.

The focus here is not on the right of these wingnuts to say and advocate what they want. The focus is on understanding if these hate mongers are speaking for ABC, Disney and the various sponsors that fund KSFO and pay the salaries of this crew.

That is the simple question that needs to be asked of ABC, Disney and the many companies that pay the bills at KSFO. Do you subscribe to the hate and violence that is being advocated in your name on the radio?

KSFO's advertisers are listed here, here and here. Each list comes with its own attached commentary.

Here is the way KSFO treats religious diversity. KSFO's Brian Sussman demands that a caller with an accent proclaim that "Allah is a whore" before he will allow him to give an opinion on the radio.

Brian Sussman tells caller to say 'Allah is a whore'

Here's how Sussman feels about torture:

Brian Sussman says we should cut off detainee fingers and penises

Melanie Morgan and her more successful wingnut pal, Ann Coulter suggest that liberals should be executed:

Melanie Morgan and Ann Coulter say liberals should be executed

And here is Morgan suggesting that the editorial staff of the New York Times be executed for exercising their (and our) 1st Amendment rights:

Morgan says 'hang the NY Times editors'

KSFO's Lee Rogers seems to be in favor of torturing anyone he doesn't like, for pretty much any reason:

Lee suggests hooking a Sears DieHard battery to someone's testicles, then blowing them away

Lee Rogers says that we need to kill Muslims in Indonesia:

Lee says we need to kill millions of Muslims in Indonesia

Lee says that any news organization that refuses to report nothing but happy news from Iraq needs to be put out of its misery:

Lee says the AP should commit mass suicide

KSFO is one of the nation's premier radio stations. It's call letters signify its status as one of the first radio stations in San Francisco. Today it has become one of the leading voices advocating the torture and murder of American citizens. It has become a voice advocating violence against whole nations and religions.

Contact KSFO's parents - ABC and Disney and then contact KSFO's sponsors. Ask them how they feel being associated with this sort of hate and advocacy of violence. Maybe they just don't understand how their dollars are being used. Time to ask them if they really support KSFO hate radio?

Hate Speak The Right's Right

With no viable political philosophy and no coherent strategy for governance, the right wing nutjobs whose shrill radio broadcasted voices have advocated nothing but hate and contempt are starting to find themselves in the glare of the spotlight.

The right of these "radio personalities" to advocate violence, rape and torture against anyone they dislike or anyone who they define to be a "liberal" is being eroded as people wake up to the fact that hate isn't tool of govenment and that advocating violence against anyone who disagrees with you isn't leadership.

After more than a decade of descent into more and more pathalogical and potentially delusional fantasies about visiting violent indignities on their enemies (any American who disagrees with them) their party is about to be over.

Over at Kos, Spocko vs. Disney is putting the battle for our public airwaves into the public's consciousness. Here in some detail is the type of behavior that passes for public discourse on KSFO, in San Francisco.

Primarily, we want to raise awareness of the hate that is broadcast over our airwaves every single day. To that end, it’s useful to highlight clips like this one, in which the KSFO host ponders, "the day will come when unpleasant things are going to happen to a bunch of stupid liberals. It’s going to be amusing to watch, [cohosts laughter] very amusing to watch." Or this one, in which Melanie Morgan, speaking of Nancy Pelosi, claims to have "a bull’s-eye painted on her big wide laughing eyes." It is our hope that by shining the disinfectant that is sunlight upon these advocators of violence, we will give Congress reason to take a closer look at what has happened to political discourse since the evisceration of the Fairness Doctrine.

A secondary goal is to begin a dialogue with the advertisers that may still be ignorant of the horrible things uttered by the hosts at KSFO. For instance, does it make sense for Match.com to pay for advertisements that run immediately after Melanie Morgan suggests that Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring, should be dug up and so that she could be killed again? How romantic do you feel after that visualization? Does it make sense for Denny’s, a company with a, how shall we say... less than adequate race record to advertise on Brian Sussman’s show when he agrees with a caller that all mosques in Syria should be blown up by cruise missiles when they are most likely to be full of praying Muslims?

Another of our goals is to encourage corporate responsibility. Disney allows their subordinate companies to engage in this kind of hateful behavior because it is profitable to the Disney parent. As long as Brian Sussman makes KSFO money by demanding that a caller prove he’s not a Muslim by saying "Allah is a wh*re," Disney will not intervene. Of course Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, Mickey Mouse and Snow White’s hearts are broken, but no matter...

Disney isn’t in it for the morality. It’s all about the benjamins. Why else would they allow Melanie Morgan’s cohost, Lee Rodgers to tell his listeners that good reason exists to "go in and attack the New York Times." Why do they allow express advocacy of violence against innocents to be broadcast from their corporate property? Here – listen to "Officer Vic" call Senator Barak Obama a "halfrican" because his mother is white. Or try this one – Brian Sussman describing how he would torture...

Finally, we’ve got some selfish goals. We are tired of being marginalized by fringe kooks like these guys. This clip here, in which they fantasize about putting NY Times Editor Bill Keller in a malfunctioning electric chair, really says it all. These people have set the tone and defined the discourse for the better part of 5 years – or longer. It is a ridiculous thought that these immature and dysfunctional children are given platforms from which their bile and venom is broadcast to millions. This air pollution is absolutely toxic and damaging to the goal of a reasonably harmonious and peaceful society and it needs to be marginalized. Nothing will marginalize it further that making what they say known. Melanie Morgan, Lee Rodgers, "Officer Vic" and Brian Sussman would be involuntarily confined if they uttered these statements on a street corner. Why should they be given 50,000 watts to do it over the broadcast spectrum that belongs to you and I?

I don't know what Morgan, Sussman and crew really believe. Most of what they do is an act, but it is an act that they get to play out because it garners advertising money for big corporations like Disney. If the money dries up, then this rough and tough talking crew of wingnuts will be out of work.

Here is a list of KSFO advertisers. Contact them and politely ask them to stop funding hate speech on the radio. If KSFO considers what its "personalities" do to be valid political commentary, then the station (ABC and Disney) can continue to fund this political commentary out of their own resources. I wonder how long that exercise in free speech would last.

Be polite in your communications – don’t assume the worst. As a matter of fact, as I understand the situation, ABC markets many of its radio stations as "family-friendly" Disney owned properties. Individual ad buyers never hear or have reason to know how their product is being tied to this filthy hate-pornography. Finally, contact your representatives – especially if you live in the Bay area. Make them aware of the garbage that is being broadcast into their own districts. Demand protection from offensive content. If there are seven words you can’t say on the radio, why should these people be allowed to advocate actions that are so much more dangerous? Obscenity is obscenity. KSFO has earned the right to millions in fines, but unfortunately, nobody has had the political will to hold them accountable. Maybe that time has come.

All these organizations have websites and most have publicly available email contact information. Most also have a mailing address and list the names of their executives. Drop them a note. You might also discover that most of these organizations have mission statements or other statements indicating their commitment to serve their customers and respect their employees. Ask them how they would deal with an employee of their company who advocated the kind of violence and hate that you hear on KSFO against another of the company's employees?

Duke Going to Camp

Convicted Republican felon Randy "Duke" Cunningham, once a decorated war hero and member of the United States Congress, will be moving to an Arizona prison facility. The San Diego Union Tribune reports that Cunningham is being moved to a federal facility near Tucson.

The Tucson camp houses about 120 inmates and is on a sprawling federal complex.

Inmates at the camp work there and at an adjacent medium-security prison with about 700 inmates. A high-security prison is set to open at the complex this year.

After nearly ten months of assessment at other federal facilities, Cunningham's assignment to the Tucson work camp is somewhat unusual, as the camps do not usually house prisoners with sentences as long as the nearly eight years Cunningham has remaining.

Camps are among the lowest-security facilities in the federal prison system and are typically home to prisoners with a short time left in their sentences, said criminologist Jeffrey Ian Ross.

“It just seems kind of odd that (he's going to) a work camp,” Ross said of Cunningham. “It might have a lot to do with how he was assessed in that 10 months.” A federal judge in San Diego had requested the evaluation.

At camp, Cunningham will get to hang with other white collar criminals, much like his days with his fellow Republican members of congress.

“He will be in with other kinds of white-collar criminals,” said Ross, who co-authored “Behind Bars: Surviving Prison” and teaches at the University of Baltimore.

“It's a different class of criminal who is sentenced there,” he said.

Inmates at prison camps typically cook, clean and do groundskeeping, he said.

Only eight years of cooking, cleaning and picking up litter for Duke. I wonder if at the end of that time he will still blame others for his situation?

Boycott Disney

The right of free speech is sacred to most liberals, but the right to spew hate isn't the same as free speech. This is what happens when corporate America sells out to the hate mongers. Boycott Disney.

Duhhh...

SURGE = ESCALATION

ESCALATION = MORE DEATH
