Cleveland Radio Station Dumps Savage

Great news from ThinkProgress.org. Radio hate-talker Michael Savage is reaping the rewards of his vicious attack on autistic children. He has already lost sponsors because of his tirade where he essentially called Autism a fake disease and that most Autistic kids just needed to be told to "cut the act out".

Now comes news that a Cleveland, Ohio AM station is dropping Savage's show. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports:

WHK AM/1420, the only Cleveland-area station carrying Savage’s radio talk show, is breaking its contract with Savage’s syndicator, Talk Radio Network, said Mark Jaycox, who manages the Cleveland stations under the Salem Communications corporate umbrella.

My hope is this is the beginning of a trend. Already Super Talk Mississippi canned the show over the same comments.

UPDATE: Now Charlottesville, Virgina radio ststaion also drops Savage for remarks!
