An Atlanta-area radio DJ was fired after he was caught recycling a year-old interview earlier this week from Republican president candidate Donald Trump, according to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The radio station’s program director Greg Tantum gave this statement to AJC.com on Friday about Steve McCoy:
For obvious reasons Steve McCoy no longer works at the station. Cheryl White, Drew Nelson and Randy Wyles will continue to provide Atlanta with a high energy news product that accentuates breaking news as well as in depth coverage on the top stories.
McCoy told BuzzFeed on Tuesday that in order to get an interview with the Republican frontrunner, he had to agree to not ask any policy questions. Trump’s lawyer said the interview was actually a year old.
I was wondering how long it would take to have a thread on the Drumpf campaign. Coverage has been sorely lacking.
People still listen to or watch local news personalities? In 30 minutes Chip breaks in to tell you 6 times the weather for the next 24 hours, interspersed with a garage fire, a car wreck, Walgreen robbery and finally capped off by the obligatory water skiing squirrel. Just shoot me…
Pfft.
Meerkat keeper attacking monkey trainer over llama handler. Now THAT"S news!!
“For obvious reasons Steve McCoy no longer works at the station.”
Yeah…lying to fuck with Dems and librulz = ok, but lying to fuck with GOP/Teatroll nominee-in-waiting = bad mojo.
Also too: “Trump would sue Ivanka for not sleeping with him if he could, and we just can’t afford the kind fo bottomless pit of attorney’s fees he could cause us.”
I agree with the DJ. I think most of Trump’s ideas should be placed in the recycling bin.
