Nowhere did I say that the radio station did not have the right to fire Graham or Grandy, and nowhere did I argue that they have any sort of constitutionally-protected right to an open microphone on WMAL's channel. I recognize WMAL's right to control their own broadcast content and curtail the shows of those who speak against the beliefs of station management. However I also assert my right to support other stations that may be more willing to stand up and defend the positions taken by those whom I agree with and that's what I'm doing--taking my listenership elsewhere. And this is no different than my decision not to publish some posts of yours that go counter to my message and beliefs. <br /><br />I have no doubt that both Michael Graham and Fred Grandy will continue to thrive and excel in whatever efforts they choose. You? I'm not so sure yet.

He was also briefly the only conservative columnist at the local Charlotte alternative weekly.

Sorry doesn't work that way.<br /><br />Ironically, you are mad at a private radio station for doing exactly what you do on your blog: censor content you disagree with. <br /><br />Michael Graham and Fred Grandy are free to start their own radio station, just like I am free to start my own blog.<br /><br />But thank you, I'm going to use that JWR article in my class as an example of how people misunderstand the Constitution.NEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359866004589529509noreply@blogger.com
