Facebook Posting Gets Radio Talker In Trouble

NAACP leaders in Jackson, TN have objected to recent comments made by a WNWS radio show host Bill Way on his Facebook page.

The Jackson Sun reports Harrell Carter, president of the Jackson chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said comments made by talk show host Bill Way are "derogatory."

On Friday, Way posted the following on his Facebook page: 

"A short message to Obama voters. To vote for him with a 9.2 unemployment rate, a (expletive) of Benghazi lies, $16,000,000,000 in debt and an israeli war, (a derogatory reference to the sex scandal involving David Petraeus), a pimp walking prez married to cheetahs daughter...expect what you will most certainly get. bye bye medicare. hello homeless.. I love America except for the idiots."

Way, who hosts mornings onWNWS  101.5 FM, did not finish his show Monday morning. He issued an on-air apology before announcing that he would take a few days off. Another host took over for the rest of the show, taking phone calls from listeners about the situation.

The general manager of 101.5 FM, which airs the morning show hosted by Bill Way, has responded.

"WNWS-FM learned about the comments Bill Way made on his personal Facebook page," said station general manager Larry Wood in a statement.

"In no way do they reflect the positions or thoughts of any of us at WNWS-FM," he said. "We certainly don't condone the comments from Bill and appreciate his public apology. We're discussing his comments and apology. Considering the gravity of the situation, for now, by mutual agreement, Bill is taking a few days off."
