KDKA-AM 1020 host Kevin Miller was silenced when executive producer P.J. Kumanchik read a CBS statement accusing Miller of being unfairly biased against Obama.
"We want to apologize to listeners who have found your show offensive," Kumanchik said to Miller on the air.
Kumanchik referenced phone calls and e-mails from listeners who criticized Miller for his statements about Obama. In a move considered by some to encourage "fairness," he also offered Obama a three-hour spot on the Pittsburgh, Penn., station in place of Miller's regularly scheduled noon to 3 p.m. program.
The executive producer of the CBS affiliate said Miller, a Marconi Award nominee and former Army Reserve journalist, had featured guests who were not objective when reporting information about Obama. Miller had recently conducted an Oct. 9 interview with "The Obama Nation" author and WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi about his investigation of Obama's connections to opposition leader Raila Odinga in Kenya. He called Corsi "a true patriot" upon his return from detention by Kenyan immigration authorities.

Say anything you like. Just don't say anything you don't like.
They should cut have Kevin Miller’s salary by 40% and told him that they were giving him an early taste of what 0bama’s economic policies mean.
The Obamanistas strike again.
Get used to more of this IF Obama wins. WE CANNOT LET OBAMA WIN!
“Obummer’s proposed rewording of that pesky First Amendment.”
First they came for the Second Amendment.
Then they came for the FIRST Amendment.
Then...
This is just the beginning. We can all shudder to think what the so call Fairness Doctrine will really do to opinions that are expressed.
Apparently the fascists have already taken over. I don’t remember reading it in the paper. Perhaps the election is over and I missed it.
Strong letters need to be written.
THE DEAR LEADER MUST NEVER BE QUESTIONED!
HOPE! CHANGE!
HOPE! CHANGE!
ZIEG! HEIL!
err, I mean
HOPE! CHANGE!
Translation: Please don’t pull our license, Mr. Fairness-Doctrine-Administrators-In-Waiting! We’ll be good! We’ll self-censor! We promise!
Give the Obamites 3 solid hours of radio time without ineterruption or argument
The people of Western PA deserve a taste of what life and political speech will be like under an 4 year Obama regime
And so it begins. Soon no one will be allowed to say anything against The One.
The Fuhrer nears absolute power...
No confirmation, just some blog chatter.
This is outrageous!
When I first heard this I thought it was a bad joke.
Even if Miller was over the top, the remedy is not to give Obama 3 hours of unfettered access to a free microphone in one of the most contested states in the country.
Amazing how much this resembles what goes on with the Taliban.
But his producer took part in it too.
If it were a stunt, the producer would get the pink slip along with Miller.
Oh not to worry. Obama is just taking the air time of the rich and spreading it around. It won’t hurt the middle class. 95% of Ameircans will have increased air time when Obama is in office.
Oops. My bad. Didn’t read closely enough. However, they’ll probably cut his salary anyway...
