Talk Radio Owner to On-Air Bloviators: STFU

"Talk-radio owner orders conservative hosts to temper election fraud rhetoric"

— https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

Self-censorship at work😊😊

"Cumulus Media, which employs some of the most popular right-leaning talk-radio hosts in the United States, has told its on-air personalities to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Trump — or else face termination.

...

“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Brian Philips, executive vice president of content for Cumulus, wrote in an internal memo, which was first reported by Inside Music Media. Cumulus and its program syndication arm, Westwood One, “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’?”

The memo adds: “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

...

Since the election, Cumulus has remained silent while some of its most popular hosts — which include Mark Levin and Dan Bongino — have amplified Trump’s lies that the vote was “rigged” or in some way fraudulent."

IOW STFU
