In an email alert before the news hits the regular news services, Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move American Forward the #1 pro-troop organization, has announced that the show has been cut due to budgeting difficulties of Citadel Broadcasting. The "left leaning" blogosphere has been in a state of relief and giddy celebration but the robust talk show host has vowed to continue the fight against groups such as Code Pink.
What the underworld of the leftist blogs has missed is the root cause of the collapse of Citadel Broadcasting. The Radio Equalizer has the details and it is quite a shame that the broadcasting company may be on its last leg of existence.
Apparently, the CEO, Farid Suleman, has been on a nation-wide campaign to see who he can outrage and bilk of funds. There are many calling for at least his dismissal and at the most, investigation and prosecution.

As another wave of destructive layoffs hit Citadel- ABC Radio today, the man responsible for his company's spectacular collapse still refuses to take responsibility for the extraordinary damage he has done to the nation's largest and most successful talk radio stations.This isn't about left v right in the radio talk show industry. There have been many shows cut and personalities let go due to outright managerial blunders.
Between burned investors, compromised radio stations and a talk format now in poor shape going into a crucial election season, failed CEO Farid Suleman is busy making enemies from coast- to- coast.
There are bad managers and there is Farid Suleman, in a league of his own. We can either keep him fat and happy in his Greenwich estate or save this popular and productive medium from a complete wipeout.The conservative bloggers have not quite caught up to this situation while liberal bloggers have assigned partisan politics to the collapse of the company.
Especially shocking: highly- rated KSFO morning host Melanie Morgan was among those let go. Co- host Lee Rodgers, who had already cut his schedule to just four shows per week, will now be expected to carry on alone. This has sent shockwaves through Bay Area media circles, where even longtime entertainment reporter Brad Kava, a leftist, has expressed his alarm.More updates will follow as the story gets more and more coverage.
