Local disc jockeys who laughed at beheading are fired

May 13, 2004
PORTLAND - The radio station KNRK at 94.7 FM is issuing an apology to its listeners after talk show hosts Marconi, Tiny and sidekick Nickie J. laughed at and ridiculed the beheading of American Nick Berg.

The three were fired Thursday afternoon, after airing the audio recording of Berg's murder repeatedly on Wednesday and laughing at the incident.

"Disgusting? I'm speechless," said one woman.

KNRK and Entercom, the company that owns the station, apparently agreed, playing an apology over the airwaves for their listeners:

The actions of the KNRK News Morning Show were insensitive, inappropriate and repulsive. On behalf of Entercom Portland and KNRK, I apologize to our listeners.

However, listeners like Blaine Dohman say they are still angry.

"I'm dismayed and just flabbergasted," said KNRK listener Blaine Dohman. "Number 1, to be put on the air, and two, not be put in check by the powers that be."

KXL radio talk show host Lars Larson also played the audio over the airwaves, but with a strong warning to his listeners.

He says the Marconi show's ridiculing of the incident is inexcusable, but thinks Americans should hear and see what happened to Berg, saying images have been shown by the media before and the incident with Berg is no different.

"I don't think that the America news media can decide for you what you can and cannot see. On the other hand, I don't think this should be on the air and then laughed at and made fun of," Larson told KATU News.

Company officials say they were never told the shock jocks were going to laugh at the killing of Nick Berg on the show.

I guess they didnt really like being radio dj's?

It would take a chainsaw to behead the guy on the right.

:helpme

good.
very boneheaded move on their part.

they are idiots!

Typical loud mouthed fat fuck radio jockeys.

Good riddance.

:1orglaugh















(please don't ban me for laughing lens)

Freedom of Expression is non existant these days...so much for "Land of the Free".

Not saying that what they did was right, just saying the slide down the slippery slope has begun...

;)

J.

Haha...good luck to them finding new jobs...they're gonna need it.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

he.he. the neckless wonder looks alot like
GABE the moron off of http://wegtrash doesn't he?

I didn't know watermelons grew beards and lived
behind the jack-in-the-box? :Graucho

The government didn't pull a Gestapo and shoot them outback...

They got fired by there own Radio Station for making stupid ass comments. Big difference.

Yes there is a difference in censorship for the sake of censorship and censorship for the sake of ratings...

Money is money as we all know...

Is it just me or is the guy on the rights head about to pop open like a zit? :helpme

What the dj's did is really ridiculous and getting them fired is just the right thing to do.

LMFAO!!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Most meaningful thing yet hehe! there's a hot topic!

LMFAO!!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Most meaningful thing yet hehe! there's a hot topic!

Good, we don't need idiots like that on the air.

Class acts.. I wonder what brutal ass radio station will be hard up enough to hire them..

We suck so bad as a radio station, that we have hired the biggest fucking idiots on the planet.. :)

You are so right. People dont realize the free speech you have to protect is the one you dont agree with. If you dont get offended then you dont live in a free society.

All DJ"s should be taken out and shot.

I'm so sick of their unoriginal asses polluting the airwaves with the same tired old routines from coast to coast.

I've lived in many cities and in 5 different states and it's always the same.

It's the difference between freedom and the realm of decency. Yell fire in a crowded theater...

:helpme

Decency and yelling fire are two different things. Yelling fire can put people in danger, laughing at others pain doesnt put others in danger. Free speech has nothing to do with decency, if you truly believe in free speech its the shit thats in bad taste ,indecent and 180 degrees against everything you believe in that we have to defend. If you only defend what you agree with eventually there will be no more free speech.

What do you mean "eventually"? You think you have free speech now?

Unfeeling bastards!

hehe those are really fat and stupid fuckers...

Freedom of speech doesn't apply. They have a job. They answer to an employee. Now if the government had put it's nose in and had them fired or something, then that would be the beginning of a slipper slope. The employer obviously does not want that kind of thing on his/her/their station, and has every right to fire the idiots.

umm what does flabbergasted mean

anyways they deserved to be fired. I would of been totally surprised if they werent. Saying stuff like that is one thing but playing it on the radio is another

What were they thinking?

Lets see....

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker and Tits.



Yep, I do.

so much for peoples rights !

what about their former employers right to not have to fucking douchebags for employees?

What about the rights of the family of Nick Berg?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

People should take that matter seriously.

Serves those morons right

It is supossed that people who talks in radio and tv's have to be respectful with audience.. but it sometimes it's not what happens.

Samuel

Amen!

They'll have new radio jobs in a week.
You dont see them on the radio, and I hardly think anyone will recognize their voice. If a station sees an opportunity to make some more money with them, they'll get the job.
I dont think it will hurt their careers too much. And Im sure they arent "BAD" people. They just decided to act like idiots.

Has nothing 2 do with Freedom of Expression if you think it does you sir are a moron.

They were idiots, I wouldn't want idoits working for me either.

how would you like 2 those idoits working for you:1orglaugh

leave town for a week, come home find the listeners burned your radio station down.:1orglaugh

The "idiots" apologized. But it's too late. Thank God they got fired anyway.

"This is my statement on the whole thing. We did it it's done. Lines were hurdled over. I also think the combo of the audio and the comments together may have been too much for most to handle.

I have become so numb to the horrific things that happen in this world that I sometimes forget there are still people who feel.

I in no way meant to be insensitive to anyone. My comments on this were inapropriate.

This thing that happened to this guy is horrific. He was a guy who was just trying to help out and they killed him. Everyone should be OUTRAGED!!

I did not mean anything by what I did on the air. Just didn't think it through. You guys are right. That's always been the beauty of this show. You always tell us how you feel.

It may not always be what I want to hear , but at least it's honest.

That's why I hope you can except my apology if you were in anyway offended.

I am sorry.

Don't listen if you don't want to , but just understand that I am human and I make mistakes and have learned lots from this already.

Thanks for your time.

marconi"

After reading that apology statement, and how DEEP it was, I know why they are fucking idiots.

haha the right one...haha!

He doesn't look too healthy. His heart must be working overtime all the time. That's crazy. I'd kill myself long before gaining all that weight.
