Tolerant Democrats Lock Out Conservative Talk Show Hosts at DNC Convention

Conservative talk-show hosts who came to Charlotte to interview political figures are furious. For the first time in anyone’s memory, Radio Row — the designated set of booths available to visiting talk-show hosts — has seen restrictions placed on its use by Team Obama. DNC staffers at Radio Row will book leading Democrats for slots on conservative stations but then cancel the appearances an hour or so before broadcast “because you’re not our audience.”

Roger Hedgecock, a former mayor of San Diego now hosting a nationally syndicated talk show, decided to pack up and leave Charlotte early because “we were blocked from getting any guests that mattered. It was a complete freeze.” Larry O’Connor of Breitbart Radio told me, “It was the most bizarre act of censorship. These shows paid large fees and spent thousands on equipment setup and they couldn’t do their programs because of interference.”

    Doug, speaking of conservative radio, here in Wilmington, NC we have had 4 conservative shows dropped on 1 month. Boortz, Hannity and Mark levin in 1 day with no reason given. Beck, two weeks later with no reason. Also, the local conservative voice, Curtis Wright, was let go with no reason. I'm ashamed for those who created our constitution, as well as God. For giving us an opportunity which we're imploding on ourselves. Norm Bryant
