Under a search of The Walt Disney Company

shows that Disney indeed owns KGO and KSFO in the San Francisco media market, scroll down about halfway and see:

"KGO – San Francisco
KSFO – San Francisco"

With KSFO's Melanie Morgan on an attack Cindy Sheehan bus tour we see that KSFO is indeed paying Ms. Morgan's salary

"OWNERSHIP

KSFO Hot Talk 560, is an ABC owned and locally operated radio station."

http://www.ksfo560.com/advertisinginfo.asp

This means that ABC/Disney is in collusion to not only 'report' on Cindy but to attempt to create a counter demonstration against her civil right to peacefully protest the actions of this government.

Someone should SAY something about this when Ms Morgan and her entourage arrive in Crawford. Also, someone should begin a boycott of Disney and it's stock and other assets until things change...quickly.

The only thing the "Move America Forward" group is promoting is an Islamic Republic of Iraq. That is what the neocons are busy creating in Iraq right now. Pat Lang of the DIA said Chalabi and company had done good work duping our administration into doing their dirty work and with idiots like Morgan and Malkin that will continue.

1. Nice family values there, Mickey

2. I saw the woman on Tweety the other night...

She has a position at Ksfo because idiots are cheaper to pay than sane people. She actually believes this is a war on terror; she believes that Saddam had connections to al Qaida and all of this has been proven over and over, again and again, not to be true or proven false. Why can't these over zealous freeper types get that through their little pointed heads???:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

3. Walt would be turning over

in his grave. Disney hasn't given a shit about family values in years. It's all about the money now.

4. I say we all nom this post and start an a letter wrtiing and protest

campaign.

This is utter bullshit, they need to fire her so she can do this on her own or disavow the entire endeavor.

5. Bernie Ward works for Disney

In the interest of balance, I mention that Bernie Ward is on KGO which is also owned by Disney and you won't find a more supportive voice for Cindy. Also Ray Taliaferro, Mr. Super Liberal. So Disney has both sides on the radio, with KGO and KSFO.

Stranger still, Clear Channel owns The Quake, that hosts Air America in the Bay Area. And The Quake just started a Queer Channel. Here's from their website:

QUEER CHANNEL™ HITS THE QUAKE!

Formed by Clear Channel employees here in San Francisco, it's a show dedicated to educating and entertaining the world at large about issues concerning the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered community. Listen Sundays from 10pm to 12am only on 960 The Quake!

Just saying, ya never know.

6. But aren't they crossing the line

if they're sponsoring her bus tour?

[NancyG]

8. Yes. But

would a host station corporation be crossing the line if they sponsored Randi or another AAR personality going to Crawford? Ed Schultz moved his show down there for 2 days. I don't imagine he paid for it.

Just saying different stations have their 'take' on politics and corporations own different stations that take opposite views.

For the big picture, I find that healthy. We just need a whole lot more stations taking the progressive stand.

7. I've been boycotting Disney for years. We don't own anything

Disney and my kids have never gone to see a Disney movie. Guess I'll just stay the course!

9. I couldn't give up Bernie Ward,

the most progressive voice in the Bay Area, who works for Disney.

10. Not forgetting that Disney owns News-Talk Radio WABC in NYC.

Featuring Rush, Sean, and whatsisname Levine.

Disney also bought WEVD, a progressive independent radio station from The Forward (Jewish weekly newspaper) and turned it into an ESPN franchise. Unforgiveable.

11. Gotta send this Ray Taliaferro and Bernie Ward of KGO ...

Disney owns ABC, which owns KSFO and KGO, San Francisco sister stations.

Bernie's show kicks off in approximately one hour, 25 minutes.
