A local radio show host was suspended after questioning the sanity of the popular syndicated radio and television political personality Glenn Beck.
Matt Mittan, host of the show “Take A Stand” on WWNC 570-AM, was taken off the air Thursday after a Wednesday show in which he made “inflammatory remarks about another host,” said program director Brian Hall.
“He's been suspended for 24 hours … he's had his hand slapped,” Hall said.
Transcripts or podcasts of the comment were not available on the station's Web site, but a podcast that began shortly after Mittan's initial remarks was.
“I've never attacked Glenn Beck. I voiced concern about his mental stability based on what I heard on a show this morning and what I see as a deterioration of his cognitive capacity over the last few weeks or the last couple of months,” he said.
