  1. ROBERT PRICE: Ralph Bailey's radio fiction

    By Robert Price

    If you caught Ralph Bailey's May 22 show on KERN-AM 1180 in which he ripped yours truly for having supposedly acquiesced to the unreasonable demands of a politician and ordered the removal of radio/webcast host Scott Cox from his own show, read this.

    "Price threw Scott Cox under the bus," Bailey told listeners, and then he proceeded to spin a tale with little basis in reality.

    After the fourth or fifth person told me I ought to listen in because Bailey was on the air targeting me with a rant significantly devoid of facts, I tuned in. Then I called the show's listener line. Bailey's producer, J.R., a good guy and straight shooter who also produces "First Look with Scott Cox," answered. J.R. immediately notified Bailey that I was waiting on hold, he later told me, but Bailey chose to filibuster with some vacuous nonsense while I waited. (I could hear him while I was on hold.) I had things to do, so I finally hung up.
