Craig Silverman, a host at Denver conservative talk radio station KNUS, was fired mid-show over the weekend after airing a segment criticizing President Donald Trump.
He’s lucky that we’re not back in the good old days, where criticizing Hair Fuehrer would have resulted in much worse outcomes than a mere firing.
More triggered liberals squashing dissent!!!
Wait, what sort of radio station was it again?
I wonder where the manager could have got that idea from.
A never-trumper, and as Trump says those are worse than libruls, fifth columnists that insert themselves in the patriotic media where loyal Trumptards might actually listen to them.
How about a bit of background on KNUS, TPM?
Like it’s part of a conservative, Christian media company called Salem Media Group. SMG is known for pressuring its radio hosts to cover Trump positively.
Chances the station came back from break with a story about liberals being the enemy of free speech?
It is mentioned in the article that it is a conservative talk radio station, so of course they demand positive coverage of Trump.
Apparently Denver has a very high snowflake demographic.
More proof that CONservative charges against Liberals are always pure projection…

Speaking of news, seeing the above kind of thing in a news story is an example of what can happen when you dummy something in with all the good intentions in the world of putting something relevant there before showtime. 
So this would be the Salem Bitch Trial?
Well, if he couldn’t see the emperor’s magnificent finery he was obviously unfit for his position.
Salem Media Group has a reputation for firing those who are insufficiently supportive of Trump.
Fired in the middle of a weekend show. That’s some efficient thought control right there.
@ghost Big Drumpfy and his toadies are everywhere. Watching and listening all the time.
This firing is another example of the Trumpian analogue to the “No True Scotsman” fallacy (“No True Trumpster”?), but it kind of works in reverse: No True Scotsman excludes disqualifying people in order to maintain an assumed moral purity. That bad person cannot be part of my in-group, because my in-group is good people.
The No True Trumpster strategy excludes the disqualifying person (“Never-Trumper!!”) to maintain personal loyalty to Trump, morality be damned, and typically invoking negative partisanship as its justifying principle (“We must be loyal in order to continue to own the libs!”). So: the bad person cannot be part of my in-group because my in-group…doesn’t really have a core principle. We just like Trump “because he fights.”
Cases of No True Trumpster in action include Justin Amash (drummed out of the party), The Weekly Standard (disbanded by its owner), and now this guy in Denver I never heard of (fired mid-show??! Really?!).
Counter example: Steve King, clearly a bad hombre, still a Republican. In fact, he demonstrated his usefulness during Gaetz’s immortal Storming of the SCIF.
All of which makes the internecine fighting at Fox extra-interesting to observe. It’s really hard to make an un-person out of Chris Wallace or Neil Cavuto. What’s clear, though, is that those who have left Fox to date (Shep Smith, Herridge, Lt. Col. Peters, Megyn Kelly…I know I’m missing others–is Napolitano bounced yet?) are consistently those who have been found wanting, the insufficiently True Trumpsters.
Anyway: Far better to have this dynamic happening openly for all to see rather than via the previous trend of Republican politicians just happening to find their way to retirement rather than grapple with the Trumpsters for the soul of their party (Flake, Corker, Charlie Dent, Paul Ryan, Will Hurd, Francis Rooney). You were No True Trumpsters, all of you–begone!
I see what you did there. 
AM Radio. Who cares? It’s a small wasteland.
