Radio Host, Questioning Glenn Beck's Sanity, Suspended

Post by Appaholic »

Editor's note: Program Director Brian Hall said again this morning that employee Matt Mittan was suspended because of “incendiary remarks” he made about conservative radio and TV talk show host Glen Beck.

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.

The only thing worse would have been to question Obama's love for America.
