KRXQ Morning Crew Mocks Transgender Children

[DyingMedium]

So glad MsMusicUsed2BeInChildWelfare decided to grace the Sac board with her presence...especially since she didn't actually hear the show, wouldn't listen to the show anyway and is obviously easily offended.

I don't agree with the sentiments of the morning show, but I do agree with their right to say it. It's a morning show, people...YOU have the right to turn it OFF.

Anybody who thinks this behavior is awesome might be a threat themselves to children.

Gen Y translation of awesome: Depending on the way the word is used, awesome now means insane, terrible, lame, awe-inspiring, etc. Perhaps some of you baby boomers can relate to how "bad" came to mean good (cool) in the 80's. Teh (purposely mispelled) context and definitions of our beloved English language can and will change with the times.

I used to be somewhat insensitive to the situation of transgender people, but I ended up producing web content with some of them. It's been eye opening.

Organizations like GLAAD are rightly concerned whenever violence and LGBT people are connected on broadcast outlets, simply because unstable people may mirror the behavior. Responsible broadcasters don't do this. Entercom should recognize it and absolutely correct the behavior.

Here's a link to a page memorializing 375 transgender-identified people worldwide who were victims of murder. There are more...many more...of them.

RAD isn't a REAL morning show. A real morning show is paid by a parent company to entertain and inform a listening audience. RAD or more specifically R, PAYS Entercom to be on the air. Do you really think any intelligent PD would hire these 3 to anchor a station? Yes, they have ratings. And that's because all their listeners have no idea how to change a channel or write down any other call letters than KRXQ. All RAD does is kill brain cells. Good luck to you all. Happy listening. If the off switch on your radio is busted, use part of your stimulus to buy a new one.

RAD makes me SAD!

Not true, SFSAC. If you're going to post "facts," try not to make them up as you go.

RAD is the funniest show I've ever heard. They mock everyone, including themselves. They also raise more money for Children's Hospital than any show in Sacramento. They're huge supporters of animal causes, women's causes, U.S. troops and veterans. Their random acts of kindness for individual listeners are well documented. Their contribution to the community is unparalleled in local radio. Lots of people don't "get" the show, possibly because they lack the intellectual curiosity to hear it through. I would defend their right to comment on the content of the RAD show, as well as their right to change the station. But try to keep your facts straight. Your assertion, SFSAC, that Rob pays Entercom to be on the air is preposterous and dismisses you as the bearer of any semblance of credibility.

 

[John Walker]

RAD are on because they have listeners = ratings and make the station money. Personally, I think for the most part KRXQ is what other radio stations SHOULD be. They have entertaining, funny, intelligent jocks that are definitely local in their focus in almost all dayparts. Few other stations have that any more. They pull it off, and make the station seem like your friend.

Far as RAD, not my cup of tea, Joe and Dog in the mornings, THAT I'd listen to. In the meantime, I'm happy to listen to Mark and Brian instead.

I didn't hear it.
Don't listen to Rock stations or talk radio.
I am extremely concerned with issues of child abuse. I had male teen-age clients living in tool sheds or empty garages because behavior such as wearing clothing perceived as female got them kicked out of the family


Sorry

Mr. "Skinner"
Maybe YOU should check your facts. I speak from first hand knowledge. What YOU say in your post is INCORRECT. You probably should have posted this in Take it Outside but your "semblance of credibility" stopped at the name you use for a login. We are all aliases here, except for a few, but yours just qualifies you as an unintelligent human being. We can all put qualifications at the bottom of our posts to try and make it look like we know what we're talking about, but few do, because we don't need to qualify our accomplishments on a web post. Remember the Golden Rule, Don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
As for as RAD "raise more money for Children's Hospital than any show in Sacramento", that's as long as those children aren't transgender. Remember, any press is good press, and they did a fine job getting it, unfortunately they had to resort to picking on an easy group.

Nah, mock Dick's name all you want, but you're wrong. Rob owns the show, which he sells to Entercom, which then sells advertising and makes a fortune. Rob may get a percentage of that as well, but I don't have your "first hand knowledge" in that particular detail, so I'll just leave it at what I know to be true. RAD are not employees of Entercom, and Entercom is not being paid by Rob to air the show.

And seriously, try to relax.

If any morning pile of DeeJaze need to do GLBT jokes, you always have Larry Craig or MarK Foley. These guys are public figures. The child discussed is not a public figure. The fact that somebody reported on this does not put this child on the level of Larry Craig. If I want to say that Rep. Cantor looks lovingly at Rep. Boehner when John is speaking, you could call that homophobic humor-------but they are public figures fair game for satire. I could do jokes getting Lindsay Graham mixed up with Lindsay Lohan. Again----------public figures

Lemme see if I've got this right...you have a problem with my name, but "SF Sac" is OK?

 

[Neanderpaul]

Are you still whining about this?

Does anyone realize that if you ignore a bit...it tends to go away? The more people make of this, the more important the event becomes. And the more potential damage is done. The more people argue over this, the more stress is potentially created for these confused kids?

Oh...I forgot. It's not really about them. It's about agendas. Which is worse; The statement? Or the incessant arguing?

Were I RAD...I'd respond to any discussion re:this issue with:

"We've moved on to another topic"

Just like when a caller wants to talk about last segment. The bigger issue this bit becomes, the more damage it does. It was a trivial goofy segment that some opportunistic group is trying to use to springboard their platform to the forefront.

I'm not saying RAD are correct. I wouldn't ridicule the innocent. But, that's me. I'm saying this thing has become bigger than it is through the false "uproar" that certain groups are manifesting in order to further their agenda. Media manipulation. On both sides. Like watching a game of Stratego. The kids are the flag. They don't move. Nor is their voice heard in any of this.

Someone brought up all the good things RAD have done for charities. There's an old saying amongst bikers that applies:

"Nobody remembers the good...Nobody forgets the bad"

That's how it works

 

[Stage5Clinger]

Ok, I can't resist anymore, so here it is. Ma'am, I understand your concern for the kids, but the bottom line is this: It's radio, it's a tough life being on the air and not knowing what's coming next. You need to keep your name out there, get ratings, and offend who you need to to make that happen (if that's the angle of the show).

When I worked in talk radio, or as we called it tabloid radio, the often hated Ken Kohl would tell the morning show what to say, and what angle to come in at on a particular topic to piss off and polarize the most people. RAD are experts at this, and ok, you may not like it, but that's HOW they get their friggn awesome ratings, stay top 5 in the market, and blah blah blah. And that's how they time and time again get the NATIONAL attention they get. Like NPaul said, if we just looked the other way it would disappear.

Personally, I can't listen to the misogyny, but their marathon show is fun to tune into kuz they get nutty after being on the air all that time, and it's kind cool to hear them loosing it.

98 Rock Gay Comments

I would agree with a poster who said in recent years the 98 Rock morning show reminds him of dueling banjos. I tend to agree with that assesment of the show BUT...

We are in deep trouble if personalities/talk show host are not allowed to excercise creative freedom. The sponsors that are canceling are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill! Do gooders if you will.

We must be able to laugh at each other's differences if we are to continue our current freedoms.

I for one will NOT be shopping at the companies that canceled the 98 Rock morning show and will tell all my friends to do likewise.

Re: 98 Rock Gay Comments

Which is yours to do as you see fit. Which is just what I intend to do whenever I see or hear anyone advocating violence against children over the public airwaves, anyone's children. I've already sent a personal letter to each of the sitting FCC commissioners, and to all of my state and federal represenitatives complaining about this matter. Thanks BossJock1947 I needed to be fired up over this matter all over again! You did the trick! I think some follow up letters are in order, thanks for the reminder that I haven't done enough to protect everyones children in addition to my own!

 

[MsMusicRadio]

I absolutely agree that I I DO NOT WANT THE GUMMINT TO INTERFERE. However, making a joke about beating your own child and making a joke about former Rep. Larry Craig are not the same as far as ethics are concerned. I only want Entercom to do another show in which these announcers are required to interview a child psychologist who can explain why they are wrong on this. Let them admit their mistake on the air and we can move on. I know they can fake an apology as well as some of you think they faked the rage at trans-children. So what. At least someone can dispute them. If this was ONLY a joke, they should assess the humor before they wind up like Imus.

I do wonder if Rob and Arnie are equally upset about any female child wearing pants and playing football or baseball insted of learning to cook, sew, and be deferential to men?

 

[MsMusicRadio]

I just had the opportunity to see the list of major sponsors withdrawing from this show. Good for them. This is not censorship, but the FREE MARKET ECONOMY so beloved by Phil Graham groupies and other such people actually working. If you are stupid and offensive, why should companies pay for you if they feel that way? It's capitalism, dudes.

Like I said before there's more violence in cartoons. You wanna take them off the air? What about all the violent movies. Take em off. Sporting events. IE; Boxing?

You and msmusic are really showing just how irrational you are.
