Image via Wikipedia WGN-AM a radio station in Barack Obama’s hometown of Chicago is again coming under attack from the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama for offering airtime to a controversial author. This is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target of an “Obama Action Wire” alert to supporters of the Illinois Democrat Barack Obama.
Monday night’s target was author David Freddoso, who the campaign said was scheduled to be on the station from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Chicago time.
“The author of the latest anti-Barack hit book is appearing on WGN Radio in the Chicagoland market tonight, and your help is urgently needed to make sure his baseless lies don’t gain credibility,” an e-mail sent Monday evening to Obama supporters reads.
“David Freddoso has made a career off dishonest, extreme hate mongering,” the message said. “And WGN apparently thinks this card-carrying member of the right-wing smear machine needs a bigger platform for his lies and smears about Barack Obama — on the public airwaves.”
The Tribune Publishing Company owned station was flooded with calls and e-mails about an hour before an August 27th interview with Stanley Kurtz, a conservative writer who examined Obama’s ties to former 1960s radical William Ayers. A WGN producer said Monday night’s response was about the same as when Kurtz was on the station.
