Talk Show Host Fired for Remarks

(Boston, Massachusetts) Local radio talk show host, John DePetro, was fired today for making inappropriate comments about a gubernatorial candidate.

From TheBostonChannel.com:

[H]e made comments about Green-Rainbow candidate Grace Ross, referring to her weight and sexuality while criticizing her involvement in a candidates' debate Wednesday night.

"In the context of what he said and the tone with which he said it, the comments were completely inappropriate, derogatory and will not be tolerated. I met with our corporate staff last night after listening to the tapes, and we decided to terminate John at that meeting. I informed him of that decision this morning," said Jason Wolfe, vice president of AM programming and Operations for Entercom Boston.

It's not mentioned in the article but it appears that DePetro called Ross a "fat lesbian." Obviously, that level of accuracy cannot be tolerated.
