CBS, WBZ-FM and standards

A real flap brewing with WBZ-FM. Seems the Sports Hub has been featuring guests from a smutty Web site that is raising quite a few eyebrows among sponsors.

The Sports Hub frequently features on air appearances by one of the barstool sports site's bloggers who regularly publishes a piece on teachers involved in sex scandals involving students. These pieces basically applaud sexual molestation of male students by female teachers, even when the child is underage, and "grade" the teachers on looks and lack of judgment. This blogger has been appearing regularly on the station's air.

Some of the highlights of his postings on teachers molesting students:

A teacher, 37 years old, having sex with a student, 11 years old, applauded as "a nice effort."

A 24-year-old teacher who "nailed" a 14 year old student is applauded as one "has all the tools: looks, nymphomania and an utter lack of morals"

A teacher was 28 when she seduced a 13 year old is applauded as having "beauty and the complete absence of good judgement, a terrific combination"

A 22 year old has sex with a boy of 14: " t he kind of fearless recklessness I like at the top of the order. Someone who won't be intimidated by a little think like the fact that her boyfriend isn't through puberty yet"

The teacher who took advantage of a "troubled" 16 year old "the kind of wanton recklessness you look for"

It's not satire or an attempt to shine the spotlight on crime or anything of the sort; it is a clear celebration of sex crimes. The blogger grades the teachers on looks and says, in defending his salute to sexual abuse by female teachers, "I'm a strong supporter of the Double Standard and think grown men have no business seducing underage girls,"

I'm guessing CBS pulls the plug on this guy.
 
And this is different from a Toucher and Rich bit how?
 
Lighten up. Find me a radio show in America who hasn't joked about the 14 year old boy getting lucky with some strange hot teacher. Wacky morning zoo type shows and shock jocks have been saying that stuff for years. I'm sick of people being "outraged" by stupid shhhhhhtuff. Ooops I almost cursed. Find something better to do with your time.
 
Well people have every right to feel outraged about this. This is a sports talk station. And as I do understand guy talk, let's keep children out of the discussion. Because if you have no issue with talking about a 14 year old boy with a 28 year old female teacher, then I guess you won't be outraged if the discussion is about a 28 year old male teacher getting it on with a 14 year old girl. This double standard in our society has GOT TO END.
 
Still haven't learned if the teacher bit was heard on
the air. I'm trying to figure out if the person who
started this thread wants this guy off the air based
only on the website he writes for (a real flap is brewing).
Kind of a stretch for me.

Plus, I find it amusing that Thirdendorsed is so shocked
by the content of the blog, that he thoroughly examined
it, then re-capped it for us here.
 
Whew, judging from the thread title, I thought 98.5 was either going to flip to the big band/standards format, or add it to one of their HD2 channels...
 
1) The writer referenced here is Jerry Thornton. He is without a doubt the best Patriots writer in the city, and is also a great stand-up comedian and nice guy.

2) Men are predators. Period. The double standard does not need to stop for any reason.

My only question is: where the hell were these teachers when I was in high school in need of "education"?

Given the 98.5's target demo, that seems to be a good move to have that guy on. If it was NPR, then maybe not.
 
To Will and Big Tom 101:

Let's see if your story changes when it's your daughter is the one being hit on by the 28 year old teacher.

You two are pathetic.
 
Seltzer, there must be too much gin in your seltzer, because it's inhibiting your reading comprehension.

Of course I'd be upset by my DAUGHTER being hit on by a 28-year old MALE teacher. Males are bred to pursue sex aggressively. Sometimes that doesn't happen in league with social norms, and that's not cool. On the other hand, I'd have no problem with my teenage boy dating the teacher. It's her body. I can't make it any simpler than that.

Eh, I don't plan on having kids - and if I did, I hope I would have raised a smart enough daughter to not get involved in something like that (unless she's 18 - then all bets are off with that being the age of consent and everything). But since I'm pathetic, I doubt I'll get married in the first place. :)

Back to the topic....keeping a guy off of 98.5 for his non sports commentary/opinion wouldn't seem too bright. Unless he was a child toucher or Michael Vick, then I could see barring him.
 
they're featuring a guy on the radio station based on his status as a blogger -- and as a blogger he publishes frequent articles celebrating molestation of children. It's a clear decision, you don't use that kind of person on your air, whether he talks about how wonderful it is that a female teacher abuses a boy of 11, 13 or 14 on your air or whether he talks about it on the blog that provides the pretext for featuring him on the broadcast in the first place.

When you put a guy on the air because of a blog he writes, you cannot ignore his condoning, perhaps even celebrating, child abuse just because he talks football. He's on the air because of the blog and the blog features some stuff that CBS ought not be associated with.
