From an old CT radio guy:
A novice weekend anchor at a small-market North Dakota TV station got instantly and infamously canned when he let out a couple of swear words when he didn't realize his microphone was live. This was obviously a very dumbass thing to do, but what Bob Davis said was truly obscene. One Connecticut resident invited Davis to visit Newtown himself. Maybe then he can see how "exploited" they have been. He never responded and even continued his warped talking points for days after. It took Davis an entire week to issue a brief apology. How sincere could the apology have been if he is allowed to continue his show uninterrupted with the loss of only one sponsor? A few online posters actually said he was over the top, "but he does have a point." No, he has a deal breaker. You've lost any legitimate argument when you have to stoop to that level. Davis needs to visit Newtown himself or leave talk radio. It's just the latest shameful tale in a diminished industry.
