Talk radio isn't exactly known for its lack of bias, but during yesterday's Kevin Miller show on KDKA-AM (1020), the concept of fairness appeared to have won a skirmish.
In a segment that could have been either stunt or statement, KDKA executive producer P.J. Kumanchik read an announcement from CBS management addressing accusations that talk host Miller, whose show airs from noon to 3 p.m., is unfairly biased against Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.
Citing a number of e-mails and phone calls from listeners criticizing Miller, Kumanchik offered Democratic presidential candidate Obama a three-hour air shift, usurping Miller's air time.
"We want to apologize to listeners who have found your show offensive," Kumanchik told Miller on the air.
Kumanchik also said the complaints included the use of unapproved audio clips, including the theme from the TV series "The Jeffersons," and unobjective guests.
In the spirit of equal time, John McCain would also be able to have a three-hour solo show. (Adrian McCoy, Post-Gazette multimedia writer)

This was a radio stunt. Old news
McCain is NSF resulting from Mc/Fg, and thanks to BO spending restraint is ODD (out de dor)BTW.... Check out what my fan club in FR did to this essay http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2108877/posts
That was a GREAT rant. Ought to have this guy on the road with Joe the Plumber.
Thanks for posting
The Obama machine at work! If he gets to be the President, there will be NO free speech at all. This country will go down the tubes FAST!
Look for this to accelerate the un...”Fairness Doctrine”. And when they pass it, look for them to refuse Conservative views, because for all these years, Conservatives have dominated this venue and will have no future opinion.
It will be Democrat/Socialist/Marxist propaganda, reprogramming 24/7. From our skewels to the Internet.
The first Amendent is for everyone.
Be prepared for things like this to happen over and over and over again. If anyone opposes national healthcare, taxes at 50%+, nationalized banks, PC Socialist appointments to the Supreme Court, attacks on the military, whatever. Anyone who speaks out will be called racist or unfair to Obama. Its coming.
Yeah, I've been waiting for someone in a town hall meting or the press to ask him about McCain - Feingold.
Like, "Now that we have gotten all the money out of politics, how's that working out for you, Johnny?"
Radio publicity stunt. That’s all this was.
....And so will a new bloody civil war as well.
