Electrocute Bill Keller! No, hang him!


The moronic hosts of GOP-connected radio station KSFO get big yuks calling for "traitors" in the press to be killed -- all brought to you by Disney.

By Joe Conason


July 14, 2006 | While Melanie Morgan debates with Ann Coulter about whether the executive editor of the New York Times should be killed by gas chamber or firing squad, the institutional forces behind the San Francisco radio host deserve to share in the national spotlight now focused on her. Morgan's brand of authoritarian extremism is brought to her radio listeners every day courtesy of the Disney Corp., which owns KSFO-AM -- a station that functions as a mouthpiece and fundraising mechanism for the Republican Party.

Through KSFO and Move America Forward, a right-wing nonprofit (and "nonpartisan") organization that she co-chairs, Morgan enjoys an extensive network of connections in the Californian Republican Party. The founder and "chief strategist" of Move America Forward is noted Republican consultant Sal Russo, whose firm has represented a broad spectrum of GOP candidates around the country over the past three decades.


And Disney fricking allows this? :eyes:

1. Disney aren't that nice a company.
Apparently, several years ago, disgruntled staff took to calling the company 'Mousewitz' in honor of the slavelike working conditions imposed on rank-and-file employees by the highly authoritarian senior management. When management heard about this, they threatened dire consequences against any employee caught using the term. Within a few hours, the employees started referring to their employer as 'Duckau.'

You just have to look at the Disney view of the world as typified by 'Epcot' and their Stepford town 'Celebration' to know that they're fully paid up members of BushCo.

2. Disney does a fine job of hiding the corporate address to write to
about this outrage as well. I spent quite a while with no luck at all. If I find somewhere to send a letter to complaining about this, I will post it.

5. And you're surprised???
Read up a bit on Walt Disney himself.

It will all make sense then.
