somebody explain...

Now, I'm not going to editorialze this, but I would like it if someone could explain the difference.

This past Wed. two Portland DJs were suspended, and then fired for playing audio from the Nick Berg beheading tape. Here's quote from someone at the station:

"Our audience found and we found that this material was not a matter of pushing a boundary, this was living without boundaries and without conscience, and that's unacceptable," said Clark Ryan, of Entercom Radio.

Today, Sean Hannity played pretty much the exact same audio. Here's a quote from Mr. Hannity:

"I think people need to know what we're dealing with - it's evil right before your eyes," said Hannity, the Fox News Channel personality whose syndicated radio show is based at WABC (770 AM).

Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough, but it seems that both parties should be treated the same.

Take Care folks.

Mike,

The Portland DJs played the audio and then made jokes about it. Hannity played the audio and was very respectful about it. That's the difference.
