Xoff's Blog

Commentary on state politics by Bill Christofferson, who often uses Xofferson or Xoff to shorten his 14-letter last name.

Christofferson, a recovered journalist and ex-political reporter, has been a Democratic strategist and consultant for 20 years and is now retired. He lives in Milwaukee.
He is the author of a political biography, "The Man From Clear Lake: Earth Day Founder Sen. Gaylord Nelson," published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

Demand an apology

Jessica McBride, or the management of WTMJ radio, has purged her blog of an offensive item, including audio, in which she mixed questions about the tragic drive-by shooting of a 4-year-old with squawks from a chicken.

Jim Rowen has the info.

But, as the Whallah! blog points out, this wasn't just a blog item. It was carried on the air on the most powerful station in Wisconsin. At a bare minimum, an apology is in order.

Go here to get the email addresses for McBride and her station manager.

Even talk radio has its limits, as Don Imus and Michael McGee Sr. have learned. McBride needs to learn, too.
