Barb Stanton is a local Talk Radio Host on a Clear Channel station in California. I read the transcript of her remarks, and similiar to Don Imus, after a long career on the air, a few out-of-context remarks end everything.

It's not what you say...

It's WHO is listening and taking notes!!

Are the days of TALK RADIO over???

[Red in Blue PA]

I’m new here, but is this really “breaking news”?

[Xenalyte]

Maybe if you’re Barb Stanton. Otherwise, not so much.

[Uncle Miltie]

Can we fire “Journalists” for lying too? The newspapers would cease to exist if that were the rule.

[martin_fierro]

Never heard of her, but catch her web page while you still can.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The weirdest part is, you can do any immoral, deplorable thing you want and that's okay. But don't hurt someone's feelings with words. That will get you fired.

[R_Kangel]

It will probably fuel a push for the so called "Fairness Doctrine" in an effort to "civilize" talk radio.

So much for freedom of speech.

[Parley Baer]

I agree. The newspapers would have no jouralists if the same standard applied.

[Anti-Bubba182]

This looks like a different issue than Imus. She is directly
attacking the Banks business by advocating depositors leave.

[RexBeach]

I have a better question: Who in blazes is Barb Stanton? Never heard of the woman.

Where did she work?

[ComputerGuy]

I'm sure Rush would love to have Hillary on his show.
He'd rip her a new one.

[toast]

I don't see a similarity to Imus.

She was spreading inaccurate information if not lying about the ownership of a bank. Then calling for a run on the bank. This could hurt a lot of people if she was successful.

[trisham]

Wow. Roy Rogers Jr. Cool.

[Michael.SF.]

read the article and find out.

I’m not an attorney, but it seems to me that there really is a serious financial problem facing the nation if anyone can go on air and tell listeners to take their money out of a bank. Picture a slew of liberals doing this. The country could go down financially.

I’d like to hear about Barb from some listener of her shows. Is she one of the nuts who attack organizations just to get attention to her show? We had one of them locally and were most happy to see her go.

[sageb1]

True, but does that section 3369 of the financial code apply to all citizens or to employees of financial institutions? Anyone?

[r9etb]

EEEEeeeeeeek!!!!!

[jdm]

I would hit it in the dark.

[RexBeach]

I know where she works now, but I’ve never heard of the woman.

I am reading this piece correctly, that she, for all intents and purposes, was trying to create a run on a bank?

If so, I have no sympathy for her.

[Osage Orange]

Don’t confuse the Freepers..........
