After 25 years with ABC, and 15 years as morning host for the giant San Francisco radio station KSFO, libertarian-conservative talk show host Lee Rodgers has been given the axe.Lee Rodgers wrote at the Melanie Morgan blog (photo - left) on Saturday:
Understand, please, that this course was not chosen by the local management of KSFO...
I WILL tell you, in all candor, that thanks to Mr. Suleiman's Citadel management, I could no longer proudly say that the company had never told me what to say or what not to say. There was an obvious cave-in to some ultra-left and pro-Muslim groups...
Farid Suleiman (photo) is the CEO of Citadel Broadcasting.Morgan was Co-host with Rodgers until 2008 when she was "layed off." Allegations at the time centered on Morgan's stridently Pro-War on Islamic Terrorism views, and her activism on behalf of Move America Forward, a group that fought to elect Pro-Patriot candidates to Congress. Her Co-host Rodgers kept the show going for the last two years with the same themed programming, and with consultation with Morgan. Both continued to cover the Pro-America movement on the Melanie Morgan blog.
The show remained very popular in the Bay Area.
Note - Note, Suleiman, whose national origin and citizenship status is unpublished, uses a different anglicized spelling of his name, "Suleman" in newer reports. Hat tip to an alert LR reader on the Left Coast.

Well ain't that sweet: From an Islamic sounding name to one that sounds rather Jewish.
Here's the thing: Morgan and Rodgers will now be able to sell their package to the competition.
"Suleiman, whose national origin and citizenship status is unpublished"
His national origin is published in a few places -- he was born in Tanzania.
Citizenship status isn't as clear, but since Tanzania was part of a British Mandate at the time of his birth and since he was educated at the University of Nottingham, British is a reasonable bet.
Funny, as a Britisher he felt the need to anglicize his name. Sorry Knapp, but I suspect something a bit more sinsister at work here.
Eric,
I'm not sure what you mean by "more sinister." I was just telling you where he was born and what his likely citizenship is.
Is the "sinister" element that you believe he may be a Muslim? While I personally don't find that "sinister," I suspect that you're right.
You people are a bunch of fucking racist cranks, and your information is generally incorrect.
