Did Bob Kerr make it onto Yorke's show today?

R

Dan Yorke was trying to get Bob Kerr of the Providence Journal on his show today, but I got to where I was going in the car & don't know if it ever happened. Kerr published a scathing column today about Ralph Mollis' appearing on Yorke's show & how he should not have subjected himself to what he called "the broadcast equivalent of a mosh pit". He also made mention of Yorke being WPRO's resident popgun with a need to prove he "don't take no crap from nobody". He mentioned Dan's howling & described his outrage as being portable as a bottle of water. He went on to describe talk radio as being about fashioning an image & promoting the hell out of it.

So while I'm sure we'll get multiple replies to this, none of which actually answer the question: Did Kerr make it onto the show & what transpired if he did?
 
Bob Kerr never came on. Kerr was told by Pro Jo bosses he couldn't.
The rest of the story is:
Yorke knows about 5 times more things on Mollis than he's let out.
Kerr is a fool.
Both of Mollis's blood children have had serious run ins with the law in calender 06.
Mollis and a 'situation' with a female N.P. police woman.
Greater than told involvement with Organized Crime members.
Yorke (who I am not a fan of) is doing some of the best work of his tenure with WPRO.
Wait and see..
 
Dan, and Dave Barber, both requested interviews with Bob Kerr today. Unfortunately Bob was unable to get permission from his bosses at the ProJo.

How nice for Bob, he can write a scathing piece about a talk show and it's host, (incidently, as Bob says he didnt hear all of Dan's shows about Mollis, I havent read Kerr's piece in the ProJo!), yet hide behind his bosses at the newspaper when he is called into account.

Now thats very brave!

Its too bad Bob Kerr didn't make it on. However I was watching the news the other night. And they showed
shots of the ceiling inside the mayors office at Cranston City Hall. The shots that were shown. Indicated that
this was pretty bad. Not something that just started overnight. But something pretty substancial. Yorke was supposed to talk to the new Cranston Mayor Wednesday. Don't know if that happened. But I did hear him mention. He met with former Mayor Laffey. And while in his office. His allergy didn't bother him. Who really knows.............
