Chris Krok, the radio host at KLIF 570 AM in Texas, will apologize for spending eight minutes of air time attacking awesome person Ft. Worth City Councilman Joel Burns for trying to drag kids into his “gay lifestyle”; lisp included. Playing the audio of Burns’ emotional story about his own childhood struggles with sexuality, Krok targeted Burns for his use of the word “husband,” making his speech all about “me, me, me,” and trying to generate media attention for himself when the city has bigger problems, like the pools not being open. “You wasted our time, made it all about you,” said Krok. “You’re not brave. You are inconsiderate of us by putting this on a priority list way above things that are so much more important and so much bigger than you.” Krok’s station manager says the host was disciplined after the segment, whatever that means.

It was a lot longer than 8 minutes. He repeated it for several segments and then again for 2 more days.
Tricky
I remember this guy when he was in Atlanta, a nobody. Then this guy has to leave the Atlanta Market, (no listeners), and went to Macon, Ga. Got chased from Macon and now works in Texas, still a nobody. However, now we are giving him an audience, and that is all he wants is so desperately for someone, anyone to pay attention to him before he has to leave another market.

I guess he needs to continually run until he finds an audience that believes as he does.

Just one word————–TEXAS

@Kitty Can’t really blame Texas fro Krok. He’s from CHICAGO and pulled the same crap at radio stations in Wisconsin and Minnesota before taking his carpetbagging hate show down south to Atlanta then Macon before landing here in Dallas.

Huh, it seems that any time someone says something that gay people don’t like (or it hits too close to home) it’s “hateful”. Tony, look at what YOU just said. You made a remark about Chris being from Chicago as if all people from Chicago are anti-gay “haters”. That’s an unfair generalization. Many people from Chicago are anti-gay or hateful in other ways, for sure, but that’s true of people everywhere. Even San Francisco, considered to be the nation’s bastion for gay rights and gay acceptance, would have a certain percentage of people who don’t hold that sentiment. So your generalization is false and doesn’t reciprocate. Furthr, it’s rather hateful itself. But let’s not talk about that, m’kay? Because it’s okay for you as a gay person to speak your mind but it’s not okay for us straights to do the same… bulls***
