Cunningham: Overlooked and over the top

Over the past two weeks, Media Matters for America has released two reports documenting the smears and falsehoods that saturate the right wing echo chamber on local radio.  Yesterday, we put out a press release about Cincinnati’s Bill Cunningham.  Last night, NBC 5 in Cincinnati ran a segment on Cunningham.  Among Cunningham’s most notable comments.

·Alleging that “Obama wants to gas the Jews”

·Invoking “[s]ix-six-six” and “the beast” in discussing “Barack Hussein Obama”

·On Obama Sr.: “That’s what black fathers do. They simply leave”

·On the poor: “[P]eople are poor in America ... because they lack values, morals, and ethics”

·Declaring that America’s “so-called noble poor” don’t use birth control so that “the mom can get more checks in the mail from the government”
