Last week, a radio executive at Atlanta-based Cumulus Media sent a memo telling its talk show hosts to stop spreading rhetoric about a stolen election or face termination.

“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Brian Philips, executive vice president of content for Cumulus, wrote in an internal memo after a mob attacked the national Capitol building, first reported by Inside Music Media.

The company “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved, and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths,’” the memo said. “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

Cumulus runs Westwood One, one of the nation’s largest syndication companies in the nation, includes major Trump-supporting hosts such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino.

Who are their primary sponsors? Let those people know you won’t be shopping there due to their affiliation with cumulus and censorship. That’s the only way to actually do anything about it within your own power.

Oh... How surprising...

They should all be well off enough to say "F*CK THE MAN" right?

This is insanity.

Cumulus, we must push the Deep State Propaganda. Comply, or be terminated.


Orwellian

We are being told that knowledge is dangerous. This is jacked up.

I listen to them all on podcast, anyway. I very rarely listen to terrestrial radio anymore because I hate the ads and the lefty propaganda news updates.

Levin addressed this on his show yesterday... Said it had no merit and the "journalist" who wrote all this is a hack.

Leftists and tyrannical giant corporate monopolies go together like bread and butter, don’t they?

They were taken off the air?

I heard Levin just last night.

Must have happened overnight.

Maybe we can start with election reform, congressional term limits, and honest media?

Nah, that won’t work. Let’s just legislate death or prison for anyone who thinks differently.

Ben Shapiro? I actually like Ben as he is as smart as they come when it comes to the Constitution. However, he is far from some Trump bloviating mouth breather. If they go after him, then all conservative thought is on the table.

Ben's always been a weak link.

Great at spouting off conservative ideals and great in debates. Lots of smarm. But never really called out the Russian Collusion hoax and denies there was any voter fraud.

Maybe he will learn cucking doesn't pay. Democrats hate him just the same.

Another kid who wasn't cool in high school desperate for validation in his adult years. Sad, and unfortunately all too common.

Think locally. This company owns a multitude of local stations. Look up those in your area and call them and let them know you are turning them off. Thenlook to see which local advertisers are using their station and let them know the policy of the station, as most local businesses may not be aware. Especially any business that would see,I fly lean right in any way.

Find your stations here
