Opie and Anthony - Front page of Drudge! Public Outrage!

I really think you either miss read it or took it the wrong way. I am not saying it is 100% but the best I have read about the whole thing.

I read it just fine. He made a few decent points, but then framed it with jingoistic tripe that doesn't apply at all.

[J.Clints]

well I guess that is what its all about. You have your opinion and I have mine. Isnt it great. And no one will be fired.

Look, there's not much opinion to it. The First Ammendment has nothing to do with this. The troops have nothing to do with this. It's that kind of stup that serves to accomplish nothing...it trumps people up and makes them feel better about being outraged or complaining and they don't end up actually doing anything.

[IMSlacker]

"A few more details: "Homeless Charlie" was played by a black comedian, or, by a comedian pretending to be black."

She's figured out it was actually Patrice O'Neal, not a bum. They almost got away with that one. I love his non-fresh new material, so vagrant-y.

"Opie and Anthony seemed to delight in having a brother-in-a-box go on and on about his fantasy to rape three of the world's most powerful white women."

Queen powerful? Condi white? I guess by white she means Republican.

She now has a couple of corrections at the bottom of the column:

Update: During my first search, I was unable to find accompanying video or a picture of "Homeless Charlie." Finding out now that "Homeless Charlie" seems to really be a homeless man does not change my opinion of any of the participants' choices. In fact, I'm more troubled than before. Update II: I have learned a major lesson from writing this piece: do not blog while angry! Save the piece, go take a walk, then take a careful read before hitting send. Thank you, stevecarr, for pointing out that I categorized Sec. Rice as a white woman. Clearly, that was a mistake. Nothing Freudian intended.

Good work stevecarr! grrr!

Still, no correction about the fact that the word "rape" was never used in the bit.

Mojo, I love you, but I wish you would take all this energy you spend on these internal semantics arguments and turn that towards trying to help all of our radio buddays. As we talked about before, no it's not a first amendment issue; but it is a free speech issue, and WE need to take ACTION!!!

[Midkiff]

Thanks for your support. O&A seriously appreciate it. And so do we.

Yeah that is hilarious, it took steve carr to tell her to straighten up. Ha. I've noticed at least 2 or 3 other updates/retractions where they allowed comments. One was Neal Boooooortz, and couple others. At least its forcing them to rethink it a bit.

we're getting into a situation where certain rights that are supposed to be guaranteed by the constitution are somehow prohibited by society. this mentality doesn't even hold up in court and yet it's already changing our everyday lives (the only way imus will go to trial is when he sues cbs). in the last 5 weeks look how many shows have been forced off the air by the media and "special-interest" groups. they're not just getting these guys fired, they're telling us what we can and cannot listen to/watch/read....

i think we all see what has started but don't have any idea where it will end it it keeps up...

[Midkiff]

It'll end in a country completely devoid of any humorous entertainment that's not stupid and milquetoast. We'll all be listening to stupid local zoo programs. Life's not really worth living if that's all there is.

looks like it is from the NY Daily news.

[Bay Ridge Tim]

I have a feeling that this whole thing is going to blow over. Al Sharpton could care less about Condi Rice and aren't about to come to her defense.

[Bulldogcakes]

Look, there's not much opinion to it. The First Ammendment has nothing to do with this. The troops have nothing to do with this. It's that kind of stup that serves to accomplish nothing...it trumps people up and makes them feel better about being outraged or complaining and they don't end up actually doing anything.

There's a subtle distinction here that people need to try to get. I think Mojo does now, but some of O&A's defenders dont, and it hurts your arguments. Its not about Free Speech or the 1st Ammendment in any legal sense, none of these cases will make it to the Supreme court. At least not on Free Speech grounds.

Its about people's personal TOLERANCE for the speech of others, and their personal HYPOCRISY when then start calling for people's jobs as they go about exercising their own 1st Ammendment rights.

The answer to speech you dont like is to respond with speech of your own. But when you start targeting sponsors and call for firing someone, then you're not trying to win a debate you're just out for some blood. If you think you're right, you should be able to win the debate in the public arena and not need to SILENCE those who you disagree with.
Its also self defeating since you raise the profile of your target and make them into martyrs, which benefits them in the long run.

[EliSnow]

we're getting into a situation where certain rights that are supposed to be guaranteed by the constitution are somehow prohibited by society. this mentality doesn't even hold up in court ..

I see it holding up in court completely. I don't see anything happening with this situation that would lead to a lawsuit where the court would say the media, the special interest groups or anyone else did something that violated any laws or duties.

That's pretty much it.

[EliSnow]

I had a couple other thoughts about this issue that I think would be helpful.

Some people have said that corrections that the First Amendment is not being violated are semantics and nitpicking. This is not semantics because if you can't identify the problem/issue correctly, the resolution/answer cannot be framed properly.

If we had a First Amendment/Constituional violation, the person whose rights were violated would have legal relief against the violater. That's not the case here. No one has violated any law, or the Constitution.

What we have here is private groups creating/displaying "outrage" against other radio hosts and using commercial leverage against those hosts' employers and/or sponsors (i.e. remove those hosts from the airwaves or we will not buy your companies' services). You're never going to outlaw that, nor should you. So the answer has to be to display public support for the hosts and let the sponsors/employers know that firing the hosts, etc. will cost them more money than if they keep the hosts (i.e., I won't listen to your station or buy your products if you have the host removed).

Another way is to convince people of the social ramifications of these types of incidents, i.e. if entertainers, public speakers are in economic fear, they won't be as free to entertain the public. Their creative output will be stifled and society will suffer for it. In other words, the long term effects of these types of incidents will be more harmful to society than having some people being offended in the short term. Argue that what's going on is akin to people burning books because they are offended by the material in the books. The other side may not think it's a completely accurate analogy, but that's what debate is.

CBS absolutely did violate their duty to honor Imus' contract. I'll bet anything that Imus wins if the case goes to court. Obviously we don't know what the true language is in his contract, but the thing he said is the same as what he's said for decades. The company knew this, and kept him employed knowing the same type of things would continue to be said. He didn't step over any line or violate any FCC regulation. In my uninformed opinion I don't see CBS having a leg to stand on. I'm sure a settlement will be reached just to avoid unnecessary mounting legal costs on both sides, but Imus will get his money.

by "this mentality" i meant the special interestgroup's point of view

so we agree, but i either miscommunicated in my post or you didn't read it the way i intended

sounds good for now, but lets see how things shape up this week. we need a big news story to knock this away. if not, look for a long week of talk shows on cable news debating radio's new climate.

I was talking about the OA situation.

And with the Imus situation, if we don't know what the contract says, then we cannot say one way or another that they violated their duties in the contract.

OK, all you guys, I know you have lots of knowledge and experience. I mean this in a completely positive way - no disrespect - can you guys that do have all this expertise please channel that great energy into helping us in our campaign to stop this bogus censorship? We need guys like you with the expertise to help us in our letter-writing, protesting and email campaigns! Let's transfer the focus from internal arguments about the letter of the law - into action! A lot of us are busting our tails to make people take note.

Whatever the semantics and legal issues are, we must take action to prevent the world from becoming boring, sucky, and PC!!!

[J.Clints]

Drudge Report Radio Show is on Sunday Night
Please only call in if Drudge or guest starts talking about ONA. Make sure you are competent and know what you are talking about and how to defend O&A.


Some Talking Points:

* Was on XM, a paid service.
* On a special channel that parents could block.
* Started by a homeless man that wanted airtime.
* Opie and Anthony is neither liberal or conservative but a mixture of each.
* First Amendment protects freedom of speech that includes this type of speech.
* No one cared or was offended about this until the XM portion of the show was linked on the Drudge Report.
* O&A are radio show hosts that the media only reports on when they perform "shock jock antics".
* No one was hurt.
* Some comedy goes to dark places.
* Political Correctness run amok.
* Everyone makes a mistake.
* Strong people will not be affected by these comments.
* XM/Sirius merger will continue as planned because O&A are on a channel that parental controls.
* O&A are one of the top shows on XM.
* The Media sensationalizes some stories to garner attention.
* Your own points

[J.Clints]

News guy picked a fight
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/200...cist_skit.html This guy figured he should take this opportunity to slam the DogHouse. He was nice enough to leave a reply box on his blog. Have a look at his article and maybe tell him what you think about his clever writing

[Midkiff]

done and done!

[TheMojoPin]

OK, all you guys, I know you have lots of knowledge and experience. I mean this in a completely positive way - no disrespect - can you guys that do have all this expertise please channel that great energy into helping us in our campaign to stop this bogus censorship? We need guys like you with the expertise to help us in our letter-writing, protesting and email campaigns! Let's transfer the focus from internal arguments about the letter of the law - into action! A lot of us are busting our tails to make people take note.

Whatever the semantics and legal issues are, we must take action to prevent the world from becoming boring, sucky, and PC!!!

Letter writing campaigns, e-mails and small gatherings/protests don't get much done. The main issue here is money...somebody needs to set up a fund that can be used for buyings ad space on TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, billboards, etc.. Efforts should be made on a massive scale to make contact and get the public support and endorsement of any kind of big-ish celebrity that can be linked to the shows or a politician with even a little bit of name recognition or authority on a "national" scale making comments in support of not firing these shows. Any boycotts need to be on a big scale. A petition would come in handy finally if you, say, got 1,000 names and addresses of people from a particular area and then sent that to sponsors on that station (ideally the ones that aren't massive corporations that can shrug those numbers off) with the statement that so far this is how many people will never purchase their products again if they pull their ads from these shows. And, yes, contacting the ACLU is not a bad idea.

What's the problem? This all takes time, money and organization, and a lot of each.

When did they come out and issue an apology? I missed Friday's show, did they mention anything about this on the air or is everyone waiting to find out what they say tomorrow?

[LordJezo]

they issued an apology last week for what was said on the XM show
on air or in a written statement?

[IMSlacker]

on air or in a written statement?

They read a written apology on air at the beginning of each of the shows.

"We apologize to the public officials for comments that were made on the XM show on May 9th. We do take very seriously the responsibility that comes with our creative freedom that we get here and regret any offense that this segment has caused."

This is bullshit! What is this? V For Vendetta?

[EliSnow]

This is bullshit! What is this? V For Vendetta?

No, if it was, the government would have hauled off O&A in the middle of the night and had them shot.

[Krodos]

It's getting like that with these PC assholes. Also, Tom Chiasano can go to hell!

[TheMojoPin]

It's getting like that with these PC assholes.

No, it's really not. Focus.

[Midkiff]

O&A just now got an email, and went straight to break. Then they came back, and said "bear with us, we gotta go!" "It's not over!"


Fuck!

They're leaving at 10:35!

Please God, no!!!!!!

What's happening?


As they signed off, Opie said "O&A pests, thank you, thank you thank you, keep it up!"

So, per Opie's request, let's resume the XM email campaign with new vigor!!!! Launch! Go go go!!!

[chrisk67]

F U Al Sharpton..... dick.....

Someone should censor Al Sharpton. Really this guy needs to go. Also, Jeanette Wang of the Asian American Society that got JV And Elvis fired also needs to shut up. Where's that racial buggs bunny cartoon from the 40s when you need it?

[ScottFromGA]

has Anthony posted anything over at Wackbag over the e-mail.........?

im at work and cant accept that site...


ive been waiting to see a news headline saying "XM cuts O&A loose"

[AnnoyedGrunt]

O&A just now got an email, and went straight to break. Then they came back, and said "bear with us, we gotta go!" "It's not over!"

I didn't listen today, did they leave with a 'Your Mom's Box'? Last time I remember them being called out of the show was when that Assault on the Media went wrong. They made sure to say YMB, though they were back on the air an hour later.

Hey guys I just went to WB and There not really saying anything. I will keep an eye on it. ANT posted at 1045 and it was bout Howard.

[torker]

Robin brought up this thing that went on with Opie and Anthony over the weekend. Howard said he heard the bit that they got in trouble over and said that he didn't think the bit was all that funny, if anything, it was just boring. He said that all of these people who think their free speech is being taken away are wrong because when you work for a company, you have to abide by their rules. Robin said people were saying that the whole thing could bring bad press to the XM/SIRIUS merger. Howard said he thinks that CBS and XM may want to get rid of them because their format hasn't worked that well for them. He said that if he were CBS, he'd take the oldies format that they used to air on WCBS and replace Opie and Anthony with that.
Hoo hoo. (http://marksfriggin.com/news.htm#mon)

What an out-of-touch fuckwad Howard is! They are coming for EVERYBODY, not just O&A.

I didn't like Hoo-Hoo before, but I hate that asshole now. What a self-centered cock sucker. These issues are wide ranging with reprecussions on EVERYBODY in the radio/satellite media.

He certainly didn't have the same attitude when he worked for CBS and he wouldn't if they came after him. He always takes the angle that most benefits himself and O&A getting fired from both CBS and XM would greatly benefit him.
