Obama Campaign Organizes Protest Of WGN Over Guest
Sen. BARACK OBAMA's presidential campaign organized a protest of
TRIBUNE Talk WGN-A/CHICAGO over the station hosting a guest critical
of OBAMA on WEDNESDAY, reports the CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

The OBAMA campaign sent an e-mail to supporters urging them to call
the station to complain about the station's "EXTENSION 720 WITH MILT
ROSENBERG" having STANLEY KURTZ, who has written for the NATIONAL
REVIEW about OBAMA's ties to WEATHER UNDERGROUND radical and
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS-CHICAGO professor BILL AYRES. "WGN radio is
giving right-wing hatchet man STANLEY KURTZ a forum to air his
baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears," the e-mail charged.
"He's currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00
to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations" about
OBAMA and AYRES, added the e-mail. "It is absolutely unacceptable
that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like KURTZ time for
his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves. At the
very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of
KURTZ's lies."

The show's producer, ZACK CHRISTENSON, told the TRIBUNE that the
station asked the OBAMA campaign to provide a representative to come
on the air and was turned down. "I would say this is the biggest
response we've ever got from a campaign or a candidate," he said.
"This is really unprecedented with the show, the way that people are
flooding the calls and our email boxes." CHRISTENSON said that the
calls dropped off after the show's first hour.
