Panic at KSFO (I Grocko Spocko!)
…from the Mercury News:

“The local hosts of talk radio station KSFO-AM (560) will take phone calls and answer questions today from noon to 3 p.m. in an extraordinary response to a lone blogger who has been recording their at-times offensive and violent diatribes and sending them to advertisers.

Lee Rodgers, Melanie Morgan, Officer Vic and Brian Sussman will participate in the ‘no-holds barred broadcast.’”


KSFO is obviously waxing hysterical now that sponsors are reconsidering their financial support.

Ms. Morgan is whining that “liberals” are trying to “silence” her. (Although it was Spocko whose voice was silenced when his site was suspended!)

<snip>

Ms. Morgan would do well to consider the possible effects of her rantings on her more unhinged and ill-informed listeners.

Recently we’ve seen the psychological hazards of Neo-Crazy media sustained by Chad Castagana.

2. FYI - Morgan was caught sending an email to her supporters
asking them to be sure and call the show yesterday during their "fact finding" endeavor. She was trying to skew the results by having her hate-filled listeners give a false impression of having more supporter than she actually has for her radio show. Just like a reichwing, whiny ass beeotch who can't stand alone on her positions but needs to be propped up. Just like her hero Chucklenuts, all smoke and mirrors and lies.

Nothing like watching these arrogant wingers demask, or should I say dehood, themselves - and see how few people *really* agree with them/support them.

3. I am really enjoying following the Spocko story and its development
I followed the link to the Merc News item - this has broken out into the local media in the Bay Area. Good going blogsphere! Go Spocko!

5. From Crooks and Liars ...
The KSFO show is an obvious PR stunt. If they weren't worried there would be no special at all. 35,000 downloads so far and counting. We know what they're about and no special programming event will change that. Mike Stark catches Morgan engaging in a little astroturfing:

Melanie Morgan has been caught red-handed astro-turfing her own mea culpa show. She sent an email to a list of sycophants asking them to call her show in support. (please click the link. I's have simply posted the text, but it wasn't forwarded to me - the person with the scoop deserves the traffic)… read on

I've just started live streaming the show and it's nauseating. They call us vitriolic, crackpots and kooks and one of the fools said only anonymous bloggers have been attacking them. I think my name is on this post…Search Melanie Morgan on C&L and you'll see how rancid she is on 24/7 as well as on radio. gaelicstarover is following the case also…
