John Depetro says he WILL be back on his website. To anyone that works in radio,
from Geoff Charles to Dan Yorke; it will happen to you.
If we don't stop the Politically Correct censorship , we may as well give up the Bill of Rights.
I e mailed John to show my support. You can do it from Depetro.com.
Johns firing for saying fat lesbian is beyond insane.
It is the weakest most dangerous reason I've EVER seen to take a persons job away from them!!
 
No tears are being shed in Boston for DePetro's firing. It's actually what the audience wants. Those words were not the reason he was fired. It was his condescending sneer, his failure to connect with a Boston audience, his pushing the envelope at inappropriate times. From day 1 he did not fit into this (meaning the Boston) market.

DePetro can whine, moan and complain all he wants. He is one person while millions in the city of Boston don't like him. Listeners have rights too, and we're tired of not having decent talk radio on from 9 AM to Noon if
Stephanie Miller on Boston's Progressive Talk is cramming her show with jokes and going off-topic.
http://www.bostonsprogressivetalk.com To Stephanie's credit she is witty and entertaining. When she decides to do a dozen jokes in a row and it gets tedious, we'd like to have something different to turn to, and not just 90.9 WBUR FM, the NPR station. Scott Allen Miller would be a good candidate for 9-noon to replace DePetro. Grace Ross, the woman DePetro slurred, would be excellent. WRKO needs a new morning show, send your applications in.

PLAYING POLITICS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BACKYARD:
DePetro unfairly gave a platform to Kerry Healey, a very weak candidate. A fellow who probably wasn't even voting in our election was trying to use his platform to influence an election the wrong way. The candidate he chose (chosen by RKO across the board) would be a horrific Governess. There are a LOT of reasons why
John DePetro should've been fired a lot sooner. If he wants to take this to court we'll get a petition with a
"Friend Of The Court" brief to demand DePetro give all the money back because he never earned it.

He's awful. You can HAVE him. Let him whine and complain ...boo hoo...why he was let go for being inappropriate on Providence airwaves.
 
Varulven,
We get the point, YOU HATE DEPETRO.
You can go back to the Michael Moore school of Secular Progressives.
Happy Kawnnza
Ion. ;D ;D ::)
 
I don't "hate" anyone;

Wrong voice, wrong city, wrong station. RKO needs a complete overhaul. DePetro is a symptom, the
problem goes beyond just some uneducated loudmouth from a tiny state trying to sway voters in a larger
state. Don't blame me because the little leaguer tried to pitch for the Red Sox.
 
Could you please go back to the Boston board Varulvwn, WHAT THE HELL DOES YOUR NAME MEAN ANYWAY?
Let me get this straight, Depetro was fired from WRKO for saying 'Fat Lesbo"?
I guess thats some kind of crime?
I wonder were the A.C.L.U is to protect freedom of speech?
I went to WRKOs website and sent them email about firing Depetro. I'm sure they threw it in the garbage.
 
We are trying to get Depetro back on WRKO. We have a petition (petitiononline.com/hv3apbt/petition.html).
If you like , give it a shot. :)
 
Boston never seemed to accept him. It's OK. We didn't accept Howie Carr either. So I guess it all evens out in the end. Send Depetro back on the next bus. We'll be glad to take him back.

depetro and his attorney held a weak-kneed news conference, calling on Entercom to rehire him, saying other hosts get away with much worse. Entercom issued a brief but definitive statement: the answer is no.

This like what you'd say to your kids when they say"he did it first".I am not sure he should have been fired or that WHJJ shouldn't pick him up again but when a person says he'll go through sensitivity training himself chances are it won't work.
