Just lovely.

Dennis Malloy and Judi Franco, the 101.5 hosts best known for being suspended after calling then-Attorney General Gurbir Grewal “Turban Man,” have some other opinions they’d like to share.

It's one thing if it was an off-the-cuff quip on their radio show, like their "turban man" joke. But publishing it in two written opinion pieces on the station's web site? Wow.

I bet they wouldn't be accepting the excuse "but she was almost 18!" if it was their daughter.

"We advocate teachers giving sex ed lessons on a one-to-one basis."

Maybe people shouldn't put so much trust in radio personalities as they probably aren't equipped to have mature, intelligent conversations. Most of the people behind a microphone are generally speaking, idiots. Dennis and Judy are clearly no exception. Going for the lowest common denominator in terms of what they say. The listeners who agree are the same who same "wish it were me!" whenever a news story breaks about a teacher raping a student. Because that's what it is. It's not consenual sex.

As some contributors to this forum routinely point out, those who run commercial radio stations are only concerned with maximizing audience levels so that they can maximize their profit with no concern for the content they use to do it, or the consequences it causes.

Targeting the lowest common denominator is what radio does. People do trust media personalities regardless of how horrible and misleading they are but the station owners don't want to talk about that, and the absolute nature of the First Amendment ensures they don't have to.
