KFWB Is The Future of XM Radio

KFWB's most popular talk show host was canned when (you guessed it) she said something racist.

The station spent four years trying to re-build the listenership of their former star, but this week they finally said "fuck it" and fired everyone.

In business, they say that "money talks", but it seems like these radio stations do not understand that top talent does not grow on trees. You can't easily replace a radio star; when you fire them you are firing their audience too.

The announcement by the host of the "Dr. Laura" program was a stunning denouement after a week in which Schlessinger was widely criticized for describing an African American caller to her program as "hypersensitive" for taking offense at a neighbor's racial taunting. To illustrate her claim of a racial double standard, she said that black comedians often use the N-word on TV without criticism, but the word is forbidden for white people. She used the racial epithet, unexpurgated, 11 times in five minutes, despite her caller's protests.

I haaaaaaaaate the fucking world. I hate it.
