Comments on: Michael Graham Fired http://sodsbrood.com/pilgrim/2005/08/23/michael_graham_fired Comeday morm and, O, you're vine! Sendday's eve and, ah, you're vinegar!

Of course, in the article he mostly whines about the double standard Conservatives are always crying about. Liberals can slander Christianity til they're blue in the face, but slander Islam and you get fired. The only double standard in talk radio is between those who can make money for their employers, and those who can't. If Graham had been more popular, the station would have considered him too valuable to fire. Obviously, the station managers figured they stood to lose very little by letting him go. Neal Boortz is reporting Graham has already found another job at a station in Los Angeles, which doesn't surprise me really. The guy has moved around quite a bit, mostly because he ends up saying or doing soemthing inflammatory that gets him fired. If he were a school principal or teacher shuffling around from job to job after being fired, eventually no one would employ him and he'd have to find some other profession. In talk radio, the more "controversial" you are, the better, though. For some reason, I can't get the link to that Graham article to work, so here it is for you to copy and paste. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GuestColumns/20050823.shtml Graham has published an article over at TownHall.com. attacking those who sacked him.
