Great! These guys are right, public safety does need to come after politics. It is much more important to be politically correct than get the hurricane news out!
Broward may cancel deal with radio station because it airs Rush Limbaugh: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Rush Limbaugh has long been a thorn in the side of liberals, but now, because of him, some Democratic politicians don't even want to join with a local radio station to broadcast hurricane information.
Radio station WIOD, AM 610, has been the official channel for emergency information from Broward County government for the past year. The County Commission, all Democrats, balked at renewing the deal Tuesday, unable to stomach the station also being home to Limbaugh's talk show.
Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that's out of step with area politics. Ritter, a Democratic stalwart in the state Legislature before being elected to county office, cited talk shows hosted by Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and WIOD's partnership with Fox News.
'They have every right to speak, but we don't have to do business with them,' she said."
