Roxanne Cordonier used to be a DJ on WMYI radio in South Carolina -
that is, until she was fired, allegedly for her anti-war views.
Now Cordonier is suing Clear Channel Communications, which owns WMYI
for unfair dismissal.
She claims that "management's tolerance for opinions decreased as war
drew closer," and that she was forced out because she "would not
comply with their orders to be silent."
Cordonier also alleges in the suit that "some of the Clear Channel
officers and directors have financial ties and are loyal to President
Bush and his policies."
Which is handy, considering Clear Channel owns more than 1200 radio
stations and 37 television stations nationwide.
Must be nice for Dubya to have a little propaganda tool like that in
his pocket.
Not that Clear Channel would ever fire anyone for refusing to kowtow
to Our Great MisLeader, of course.
