Green Bay talk show host Jerry Bader has been suspended by Midwest Communications.
WTAQ talk show host Jerry Bader has been suspended for the next two weeks. General Manager Duke Wright made the announcement Thursday morning. Bader is suspended for an online story this week on Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton and her reasons for dropping out of the gubenatorial campaign that has since been retracted. A decision on his future with WTAQ will come then. For now, comments and opinions can be shared by calling 435-3771, extension 2027. (Source: WTAQ)
Why? Where’s the explanation from Midwest Communications as to why this decision has been made? Is there intimidation coming from liberals who want to silence a “conservative” voice?
I’m not saying Jerry didn’t make a mistake going with the report as he did. But that being said I have to agree with Kevin over at Lakeshore Laments.
I seriously believe he had the facts to back up his report when he posted it.
The severity of the action taken by Midwest Communications is questionable and points as well to a double standard if in fact there is pressure coming from liberals behind the scenes.
The liberal MSM reports rumors, innuendos and misinformation about conservative politicians on an almost daily basis. Are they suspended or placed under “status review”? Do they issue retractions and apologies the way Jerry did when he found out his sources gave him “bogus” information?
The answer is NO!
Midwest Communications needs to show that it has a backbone and not give into those who want to silence “conservative” talk radio. In other words keep Jerry Bader on the air!

Even as leaders in Washington struggle with the next steps in Afghanistan, troops there are moving to better protect the Afghan people by separating them from Taliban influence and intimidation.

Having finally had the opportunity to see the Phantoms in action I can say this team is good. It’s obvious why it’s riding a 9 game win streak. The 13-time Bay Conference champions showed why they won a share of the Bay title for the 4th consecutive year in a 1st round playoff game against Clintonville.

Any hopes the Truckers had of an upset were quickly dashed as the Phantoms struck less than 2 minutes into the game.
Linssen’s 68-yard touchdown strike to Travis Mason, who got open behind the defensive back at midfield as the pass arrived, three plays in set the tone for the one-side game.
“It was a good confidence builder,” Linssen said. “It gave the defense confidence to go out there for their first drive, too, with the lead. It was nice to have.”
And the defense responded as the Phantoms built a 20-0 1st quarter lead.
Working in sync with an offense that scored touchdowns on its first three possessions — fullback Trevor Cherney scored on a pair of 1-yard runs — the West De Pere defense forced five straight three-and-outs by the Truckers (5-5) to start the game.
In fact the Truckers had a measly 59 yards total offense for the game.
“We felt we were ready,” West De Pere linebacker Ben Jensen said. “We knew they were a big running offense. We knew they hit hard. We were ready for them.”
West De Pere linebacker Zak Rottier foiled the Truckers’ best chance to put up points on offense when he intercepted an underthrown pass in the end zone late in the first half.
For the Phantoms even trickery worked though Halloween isn’t until Saturday.
West De Pere capitalized after the Rottier takeaway by covering 80 yards in only seven plays to extend its lead to 27-0 just before halftime.
The touchdown came on a hook-and-ladder play. Linssen threw a 6-yard pass to Mason on the outside at the Truckers’ 25. Mason flipped the ball to Bellmore a yard behind, and Bellmore scored on the 26-yard run. (Source: West DePere rolls over Clintonville in D3 – Green Bay Press-Gazette)
The end result a 35-7 victory that moves them closer to their goal of a state title.
Up next for the soaring Phantoms: the Tritons of Green Bay Notre Dame.
