Curtis Wright talks about termination from BIG Talker

I hope this is the beginning of the Murdoch empire cleaning up its act.

This is the guy. The one that lent his radio program to organizing a political party called The Tea Party.

The ethical and potentially legal issues surrounding his actions along with that of the entire 'infortainers' of Murdoch and Rush networks is far more than worrisome. It is more than interesting that his boss actually ran for Mayor.

There is a lot "W"rong here. Conflict of interest is only the beginning. They are also influence peddling. I wouldn't be surprised that it can be viewed as racketeering.



...Knight says Curtis lived (click title to entry - thank you) and breathed that radio show, which brought in ratings and revenue for the media company. He says the termination was a long time coming and has to do with issues that take place behind the scenes, off air.

"Everybody is allowed to have a bad day, but don't have 2,3,4,5 and don't go stirring up a bunch of mess with my staff because that's the quickest way to be asked to leave," said Knight.

Curtis said his relationship with Knight changed after his boss ran for mayor, but Knight says he gave Curtis a letter of immunity allowing him to speak freely on air about the race....
