Melanie Morgan let go from KSFO: with audio & video
By John Amato Sunday Mar 02, 2008 10:35pm
This kind of news makes Mondays feel pretty good. (h/t Scarce)
Melanie Morgan---the conservative radio talk show host who chairs Move America Forward, the group which has led efforts to shame and boycott Berkeley for its anti-U.S. Marine Corps recruiting stand — has lost her job at KSFO 560 AM.
Morgan, 51, delivered her final broadcast there today after 14 years at the microphone, she says in a news release. KSFO owner Citadel Broadcasting decided not to renew her contract as part of the company’s announced across-the-board financial cost cutting...read on
Talk radio took a big step forward after today. I guess it's just a matter of time before some wingnut operation picks up this MAFer. You know, it probably had nothing to do with this episode with Spocko.
Media Matters explained it all... Stalking TRex didn't help either. Or getting banned from Newshour on PBS.
"The yelling, interrupting and repeated rudeness by the talk show woman is exactly the kind of thing that keeps me from watching other news/talk shows." ..."We finally pushed the mute button on our remote." The show's producer promises "you will never see that person on our program again." (Morgan once said that Times executive editor Bill Keller should be jailed for treason.)...Read on

Good Riddance.
Whenever a right wing pundit loses it's job, an angel gets it's wings!
Melanie Morgan.. one way ticket to Iraq,
no body armor.... hope she wears her
American flag lapel pin
Good riddance!
there's a spot for her at Bill O's.
Her audience was so large the company lost 848 million.
Spin baby spin.
This is the only way libs can get there propaganda out, fire someone, how are those rating for Air America?
You know, I rarely come on blogs just to say, "cool," but, wow....COOL!
w00t!
:D
Don't let the door hit ya on the arse on the way out!!!
Stiffler's Mom gets the axe, eh?
God, I love it when right-wing heads explode!--like Chris's comment above.
One down, oh so many to go!
She'll get work elsewhere. The right wing needs all the bobbleheads it can get right now.
Stiffler's Mom?
That harpy does not look the least bit milf-a-licious!
Hmmm....Does this mean that Jack Swanson's also lost his gig? He's one of the senior honchos at KSFO (and Melanie's husband).
Frankly, Melanie accomplished a number of her career advances through that sort of nepotism. She was considered something of a joke among the local newsfolks when she was a "reporter" for KGO radio back in the 1980s.
Anyone surprised? Didn't think so.
Let go for 'cost cutting....'
Yo! MM how it be you git de boot 'cause yer shit cost too much...
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Yo!
How dat feel beeotch?
'Nother eleben years an yo kin get on de SS!
Eat dat cat food!
Like my momma!
Ain't foolin'...
Ain't nobody goan wan yer skanky ass!
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Cost too much!
Yo!
Chris, it's ratings not rating. You give the libs the ammo they need to argue that conservatives tain't all that bright.
Melanie is going to sound much better off the air. Great, in fact.
Always amusing when a capitalist feels the negative effects of capitalism. lol
Here is Melanie playing fashion critic.
One less shrieking harpy.
All I gotta say is, "Who is Melanie Morgan?" Oh, that must explain why she's off the air.
Classic David & Goliath.
Spocko fought a brilliant fight by targeting KSFO’s advertisers. CBS fired back by waiving their loud & angry stick (ineffective) and it back-fired. Now Spocko is famous, KSFO is shaken up, their advertisers are jumping off, and Morgan is history.
Like someone said at Media-Matters, one mosquito can sure bother a massive beast.
You win Spocko – great job!
She is a caricature of herself, a fat white Mailkin. She can always panhandle.
What kind of person listens to this and thinks it's entertaining? It's like listening to a couple of junior high schoolers seeing who can be the most offensive. The fewer of these "entertainers," the better in my estimation.
I'm confused. Did we just witness poetic justice?
I haven't seen it in so long, I almost forgot what it looked like.
Gotugye @ 16:
Pardon me, thanks for the correction, now try to look at the big picture for once.......
Without her we have a great chance of Mr. & Mrs. Socialist getting into office, don't want that do you..
Just look at that picture - that face -- she's bat-sh** crazy -- she's gone round the bend.
You can almost see her eyeballs spinning like the crazy 'Toon in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" ~~

I'm glad to see that fucking lunatic go away.
But these wingnuts are like hemorrhoids, they always come back. ..she'll be next to KKKarl Rove on FoxNews in no time. FoxNews is like a half-way house for rightwing hacks.
chris @ 26:
I sure would like to see a Socialist get a shot at the White House. In the meantime, Chris, i think you would feel a lot better after a nap.
Big E @ 3:
Is it true she had her pair pierced? That she wears a flag lapel pin in each one?

Trittydi @ 30:
No, i think it was her hood.
xoites defends Constitution @ 29:
We'll see if your singing the same tune after your taxes go up 10% and the economy goes down the drain...
PS. Defends the constitution? ummm no with those policies...
Trittydi @ 30:
Yep, to go along with Prince Albert lapel pin.
She lies, smears, yells, act crazy, etc.
And she is now getting ... what's it called?
Oh yeah, KARMA!
oh_please @ 14:
Some things just don't change.
She's still a joke.

Oh and by the way, I only heard about her ONCE and it was here at C&L.
Buh bye, thank goodness I never knew you!
I never thought I would see the day!
Hallelujah
This is as good as when KGO took off DOCTOR Laura
Maybe now we can all just get along.
And I promise to listen to KSFO
chris @ 32:
Our economy has gone down the drain.
Give me Mass Transit on a grand scale, quality education with well paid teachers, Universal Health Care and you can double my taxes. Then i could afford to live.
Taarak @ 22:
tho i agree, in point of fact it was abc, not cbs, that was the parent of ksfo and made such a fuss.
chris @ 26:
You just know that Chris ran the above through a spell checker like 20 times before posting.
And about Morgan..to quote BBD.
"That girl is poooiiiisssoooonnnnn."
chris @ 7:
Oh, don't sell us short! Wee have plenty uv ways uv getting hour propaganda out their!
Karen @ 41:
I think you mean "ove."
Imus, Melanie Morgan... if we just took out one a month... hey, why dosn't somebody start a website to do just that?
I'm especially happy to see Morgan gone. She wasn't the worst, but there was something especially awful about her. I saw her that one time on PBS and it was like watching someone beating a child. You just wanted to reach in an tear her head off.
If Obama becomes president, we can expect a major realignment in the media, in general. I imagine Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs will be thinking about retirement, about now.
Trash will always find it's way to another dumpster like Knew.
chris @ 7:
That's right. In November we'll fire the Shrub, too. Eat you heart out, loser. Oh, and by the way' it 's "their" not "there". Home schooled?
Spell check is your friend. If you're a Republic, maybe your only friend.
Bwahahaha
skippy @ 39:
ABC - thanks for the correction.
The uneducated and misinformed are the best friends a Republican politician could ever have.
xoites defends Constitution @ 38:
Interesting, isn't it? How so many conservatives would rather pay more on a substandard health care system that's private than a decent public health care system through taxes? I tell ya, I do ok out there, but so much of my income goes to my health care. Insurance, co-payments, battles with the insurance company, covering when they simply decide it doesn't feel like paying (which it does regularly), dealing with creditors when that happens. I'd pay less under Universal Health Care -- less money, less stress, and I'd get better care.
But since they're so concerned about keeping taxes low, I'm happy to make trade offs. Stop paying for the war on drugs, and use that money for health care. Stop paying for wars, and use that money for education. Stop paying to bail out oil companies and use that money for Social Security. I'll betcha under our way, taxes would be lower than the way they have in mind.
Hi ya'll! Is there any college pube left, or did you eat him all up already? Oh well, maybe we'll just have a peaceful easy feeling instead...that would be nice.
chris @ 32:
Do you mean 'NOT with those policies'?
This really is like shooting dumb fish in a barrel.
chris @ 26:
After the Shrub, the Devil himself would be an improvement. By the way, the question mark on your keyboard is on the lower left hand side.
Loser.
xoites defends Constitution @ 38:
The government has been involved in education for what, 50 years, look at the state of education now, but you think more government will work? Ditto for health care, who's going to invest in the medicines and technology, government? " It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. " Not Karl Marx I know but try and think about it okay??
Come on woodguy, you know he's trying hard now too :)
Ding Dong the witch is gone
chris @ 7:
The "rating" of much of the right wing media, especially print media, is questionable at best. Many of these publications would not exist if they weren't propped up by Murdoch, Scaife, etc. William The Bloody" Kristol's Weakly Standard, The National Review, American Spectator, and Murdoch's New York comPost are all loss leaders. They cannot and could not survive in the right wing's beloved, so-called free market without subsidies. Faux News lost approximately 500 million dollars of Sir Rupert's bankroll before they started turning a profit. Ratings certainly cannot explain the continuing careers of insipid righty hacks like Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson. And in many areas in the country, Limpballs is on several stations in one area, essentially competing against himself. That is a strange business model to say the least. It's subsidized propaganda to say more.
Karen @ 48:
How do you know you would get better Health Care, just because Michael Moore says it on the picture box does not make it true....
Oh yea, bail out, you mean like bailing out idiot home owers, that kind of bail out?
Quoted from Chris
” It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. ”
Adam Smith has been quoted out of context more times than the bible. Neocons should read the entire "Wealth of Nations", not just the few sentences you usually hear.

Our taxes pay for all the research the pharamceutical companies get.
Apparently everyone who disagrees with you is either a Socialist or a Marxist. (In my case i am both, it seems.)

xoites defends Constitution @ 61:
Miss Chris has a point besides the one on the hat he wears. Any money spent on his education has been wasted.
chris @ 56:
Of course just because Michael Moore says it on the picture box does not make it false either…
Disney>ABC>KSFO>Melanie Morgan. This is indeed the dark side of Disney. I didn't realize they supported such hate. Wait... there's Mickey.
chris @ 52:
Competent, principled government. Public schools that are well-funded do very well. Those that are ignored do not. Public schools under George W. Bush have foundered.
Actually, government does a ton of investing in medicines and technology all the time. Government scientists are often our best. All too often, though, breakthroughs made on the taxpayer's dime have their patents sold as welfare to large corporations who then receive protection, and artificially inflate their prices.
As a libertarian-progressive, I have no problem with principled, regulated capitalism. In fact, we need it, in my opinion.
But government is not necessarily the incompetent behemoth orthodox libertarians or conservatives say it is. Take the post office, for instance. Often the butt of jokes, in actuality, you really can have a parcel delivered from Bumblefuck1, USA to Bumblefuck2, USA for a measly 39 cents. And the vast majority of time, it will get precisely from one point to the other, just as you requested. No private company could make a profit doing it that way. 39 cents? You couldn't get a five-year-old to lick your stamp for you for 39 cents. Ever dealt with the competition? FedEx? UPS? They are bastions of inefficiency, despite the profit incentive.
Capitalism is not per se bad. Neither is government. Insisting that one or the other is the only solution to life's woes in a purist fashion, however, is.
After a shitty day at work I learn that Melanie of the injected lips has been "offed."
Suddenly my feet aren't as sore and my leftovers for dinner are five-star delicious.
God does love me. Yes, he has given me this moment.
To me this a major step in the right direction. People are tired of right wing hate radio. I just hope that it is only the 1st step in making a correction in the way the media operates.
good-bye and don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out!!!

Maybe higher taxes would have supported an education sufficient for you to have learned the difference between "your" and "you're", pinhead. You get what you pay for.

Poor little wingnut :)
Karma comes to the rescue. Finally some good news for a change. I know it's a small victory, but after the last 7 years I am going to enjoy watching each and every wingnut enabler fall by the wayside one by one by one....we all know who they are.
chris @ 56:
I don't put much stock in Michael Moore, myself, though he's a talented filmmaker. Largely my understanding of economy of health care has to do with my own studies into the problem, and from my father, who is a medical doctor who has been practicing since the late 1960s, and who has seen the system fall apart and his ability to treat his patients decimated.
I suffer from myriad health problems I never wish on you, so I'm caught in the system all the time. It forces one to manage money, and read up on the issue.
But you may keep stereotyping me to your heart's delight if you'd like.
No, I mean like bailing out corporations when they go bankrupt because of their own corruption. I'm largely a libertarian-progressive with a penchant for logic, so, your changing the subject to another kind of government action with which I might not agree either does little to convince me of anything.
I need to start crafting a condolence letter for Melanie that starts out all sweet and then kicks her butt right at the end :) I might even start some sort of drive for this.
What if liberal blogs and groups starting boycotting products advertised on wingnut tv and radio? Do you think we could take down O'Reilly? Dare to dream!
In other good news, Conrad Black started his prison term today! Anybody else feel like dancin' a jig?
xoites defends Constitution @ 38:
Dear God Xoites, ain't that the truth? My cousin is a single mom in Germany. She works as a sales clerk in a small boutique. High school grad equivalent. She lives better than I do and we had two incomes and we're college grads. We have less disposable income and never mind the stress now that one of us is ill. She gets vacations, has a good retirement, child care, great health care and works less hours per week. Sounds heavenly doesn't it?

Libertarian Progressive??? WOW, do you think Friedman or Paul would agree with "regulated capitalism"?? I would take UPS and Fed Ex over the PS any day, why do you think they keep raising the price of stamps, because they are operating in the red, because its a government run operation.... Point is, your a lib, a lefty lib, bat shit crazy lib, please do not make true Libertarians look bad by saying your one of them.......
Seems Miss Chris has fled this site. Poor widdle wingnut.
Bwahahahaha
Miss Chris, you didn't learn your lesson. It's "you're", not "your". Try to keep up.
These guys can be baited into being fired if it is done strategically - brilliant campaign here. More of this.
Onward to Lee Rogers! This guy really screams for some spotlight - high profile eliminationist in the SF Bay Area. Melanie is tame by comparison. Lee Rogers is at least as bad or worse than Melanie Morgan and I assume he's still on the air on that same morning show, since I havent heard anything to the contrary. Yet.

You worry about a 2 cent rise in the price of stamps but you're not concerned about over 60% increse in the cost of health care and pharmaceuticals, 30-50% in groceries and 200 or better % in gas prices, wwhat planet are you from?
Maybe if Chris had a better education he would know America is suppose to be “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” If we could get honest people working the government --- never mind, he won't get it anyway!

I'm glad to see that you located your question mark key. Indeed, Americans tend to regard libertarianism and progressivism as antithetical. But a principled synthesis of the two is not as oxymoronic as it might appear on first glance. There are indeed many left-libertarians out there.
Of course not. Which is why I do not affiliate myself with them.
You'll pay more for worse service. It's your money.
They've been able to keep up with costs by raising the price of stamps. The post office is amazingly efficient for the system that it actually is. FedEx and UPS are remarkably inefficient for what they do.
Ahh elevated discourse. **Sigh.**
I would never say I was a Libertarian. I have never said I was. I am a libertarian-progressive. Indeed, that's left wing. I would never pretend otherwise. That synthesizing progressivism and libertarianism exceeds induces typographical apoplexy in you does not surprise me. You still haven't quite grasped basic punctuation.

It's not like her career's over. She'll probably show up within the next couple weeks hosting some show with another station. Whatever the real reason she was "let go," people with her opinions are still real popular in the US so she'll find a willing broadcaster elsewhere. Y'know, when I listen to the comments of hers you've compiled here, I remember how many times I've heard people from other countries just aghast at how right-wing US media is. Some have wondered to me how such things can be allowed to be said on the air when important news that the rest of the world gets to hear uncensored isn't broadcast here. After hearing Rush Limbaugh once, a French friend even assumed there must be constant attempts on his life because of his incitements to violence and pointed hatemongering. If only it were so, for all of these types.
wait....cost cutting in the midst of a great economy???

She'll bounce back. Expect to see her on Fox opposite KKKarl Rove, or something like that. That kind of right wing batshit crazy doesn't just go away.
I hope they raise the interest rate on her credit cards as well!
Cost cutting measures, huh? Call it what you want, it's time the right started learning the cost of hate speech. If they had a sense of irony, I'm sure they'd be astounded that someone with a brain is actually listening to them.
In her statement to the press, she said she wanted to spend more time yelling insults at her family.
She and Rush Limbug need to team up.
Melanie Morgan got fired despite the fact that her husband, Jack Swanson, is the general manager of KSFO. Jack is gonna have the tough task of explaining to his wife why he allowed that to happen. It's gonna be a long time before Jack gets laid.

However, upon reading your very next post, you seem dismayed at the fact that one of your very own neocon propagandist was terminated due to dissatisfaction shown in a free market economy.

People aren't picking up quickly enough that there is a new universe out there. The Millennials will be 82 million strong in six years.
They are Obama supporters. They have no patience with the Hannity-O'Reilly-Morgan approach to the world.
Radio station owners are waking up, courtesy of their kids.
We Baby Boomers (I am on the extreme tail end) who spout the Baby Boomer values are dead meat. I am happy happy to join the Millennials. A generation of smart kids with the numbers clout to tell shits like the Baby Boomers to shut the fuck up and go away. And that includes fossils like Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz, Abrams, Bush, Cheney, Wurmser, all the neocon elites, and the US press that back them. Watch this happen this year and next. Millennials have no patience with 911 truth - deniers either. I would suggest to any blog that still wants to stay relevant to reconsider that position.
Chris,
Time to lose the totally debunked right wing talking point on taxes. That's why we are in this mess. The repukes have been so successful at denomonizing the "common good" and taxes by calling it "socialism," (as if providing for the citizenry is bad), that the common good has largely been destroyed. All we really need to do is tax the rich repukes like Bush who got 88% of his 2.1 trillion dollar tax cut, and we could be well on our way to recovery.
I don't know if you were in a coma during the 90's, but we raised taxes, and the economy was the best ever. Unlike this tax free. aristocratic producing stinkbomb of an economy the GOPer's have given us. Better get your phone, I think it might be reality calling.
The older I get, the more the thought of a burqah appeals to me. That said, I don't wanna hear about it from this harridan.
How truly sad, crazy got cancelled. While I can't say that I ever heard her show, I have seen enough to know that this woman was a bit touched in the head. AM radios everywhere will surely mourn the loss. I am sure that as with so many of the GOP prostitutes, that she will immediately write a book and try ever means possible to suck every dollar out of each listener with no other identity. If nothing else, hopefully she will now have the time to find a quality plastic surgeon.
Iraq: A Hopeless Cause
It has been far to long and I am sick and tired of our country fighting a war we don't need. With all the problems in our country, why are we concerning ourselves more with others. It has been 4 1/2 years too long and we need to take action NOW!!!! The Bush Administration needs to take a closer look at their Bible, "remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:5) While America has been paying attention to every other country, the U.S. has been experiencing economic problems, unemployment, a stalled housing market, and a growing deficit. Every day we fight this war all of those problems listed worsen, and as they worsen our country fails it's citizens more and more. If we don't end this war now it will never end. The world is moving to fast for us to waste time on meaningless conflicts.

Hats off to Spocko for his effort here!!
So what have we learned here, kids?:
--a blogger gives a Reichwinger a larger audience by replaying their hate-filled broadcasts to a larger audience.
--new audience doesn't like the hate, notifies corporate sponsors of said hate, demands end to support of such.
--corporate sponsors don't want their products associated with such hate, pull advertising dollars.
--radio station, licensed in the PUBLIC interest, cries foul, goes after blogger for replaying its broadcasts verbatim to a larger PUBLIC audience.
Media in the PUBLIC interest? Give me a break...
Couldn't have happened to a more hateful, arrogant, Loud-mouthed wingnut.
Maybe FOX can pick her up for their line up of scary clowns.
Karen @ 48:
May I add something, Karen? How about getting rid of all "faith-based" services and demolishing abstinence only programs? Those two alone would save billions of tax payer dollars.
I'd like to ask any rightwinger who plans on voting for McCain this: When McCain starts a war with Iran, tell me, how do you think we should pay for two wars and an illegal invasion, while keeping the tax cuts for the top 10 percent of the riches people? Anyone?
I'll be labeled as "a pessimist", but ANYBODY who inherits the WH after this mess of an administration that is in there is going to see bad economic times. It's more of being in touch with reality.
Anyone around after Nixon shut off the blood valve in Vietnam? Carter had to deal with double digit inflation for his whole administration. It's rough when all you make are bullets, tanks, helmets, bombs, jet parts, etc. and you have to swing over to actually making constructive goods.
I don't envy Clinton or Obama. Either one is going to be labeled a "loser" by the republiks. It's an insurmountable task to try to turn this screwed up country around in four years...or even eight years. That's why I would like to see Clinton get the nomination, although I'm more for Obama personally.
Inflation is on the way folks...at the best (another great depression at the worst). Gas prices are going to continue to suck us dry until we get off foreign oil and then start to put the screws to the oil companies that pump oil out of our own country. We have no choice but to come up with alternative energy sources.
Taxes will go up. They should, especially on the top 1% who got the windfall from these criminals in the WH. Maybe the middle class will have to deal with higher taxes too, but the offset in health care, better education, a little less death and destruction, an economy built on something besides bomb manufacturing....I'd say it's worth it.
This country has it's head up it's ass....more specifically, the lobbyist and republiks' heads up our asses. It's time to do surgery and get them OUT!
Melanie Moron, goodbye wing-nut evil woman
How many hours will it take for Morgan to get a job on Fox News?
So Princess Clamidia got the heave ho. Those other two gorgons--Coulter and Malkin--must be crapping their bloomers wondering who'll be next.

Don't look now, but the economy is already in the toilet. Read much son?
"We haven’t had a, a serious war, really, since WWII."
What's wrong with this person? Not getting enough would be my guess.
TRex had the best email confrontation with Aunt Gladys (Melanie). He calls her Melanoma. The whole post is about as funny as it gets.
“I think we should have gone in and just blitzed Iraq. We haven’t had a-a serious war, really, since WWII.”
***********************************************************
While Ms. Morgan is right in one sense (the United States hasn't made an official declaration of war as outlined in the Constitution since WWII) that wasn't the point that she was making -- and the point she wanted to make was, of course, totally wrong on more than one point. Firstly, I'd like to see her try making the same claim at a VFW hall filled with people who served in Korea, Vietnam, and Operation Desert Storm -- but if she were imbecilic enough to do such a thing, she'd probably end up fleeing for her life. I'm sure that many of those veterans would be extremely displeased to learn that she considers their service to their country to be of no import. Many of those who served in those conflicts were drafted instead of serving voluntarily -- and even if Congress never officially declared war on North Korea or North Vietnam, that didn't stop people from being injured or killed in those conflicts. Second, Ms. Morgan apparently still refuses to acknowledge the fact that we were not sufficiently justified to go into Iraq -- they were not involved in 9-11, they had not attacked us or any of our allies, and all appearances suggest that they did not have the WMD we accused them of having. "Blitzing" Iraq would simply have compounded our error -- if "error" is even the right word, since there's plenty of room to suspect that going into Iraq was more than simply the result of faulty intelligence and that the Bush administration was determined to use any excuse to go in.
