Alaskan host Eddie Burk suspended for on air remarks

Yes, we can do some good here. I posted about Eddie Burke’s cowardly act yesterday when he called a Alaska Women Reject Palin–maggots & exposed air personal information so ay would be attacked.

Today I found out that he has been suspended:

Anchorage AM radio host Eddie Burke has been suspended after broadcasting a phone numbers of women involved in organizing a protest rally against Sarah Palin over a weekend, his station manager said Monday.

In a statement, KBYR-AM 700 station manager Justin McDonald said broadcasting a numbers last week was “breaking station policy.” Burke will be suspended for one week without pay, he said.

“Though I do not agree with some of a comments he made, as a licensee, we attempt to respect everyone’s First Amendment rights, including Eddie Burke’s, our listeners’ & our nonlisteners’,” McDonald’s statement said. “That does not mean I condone inciting violence or harm in any way to people wanting to voice air opinions with peaceful protest.”

Acting like Michelle Malkin does have some consequences after all.
