Michael Graham, recently fired by ABC-owned WMAL for calling Islam a “terrorist organization,” has been hired by Rightalk, one my advertisers. His show will air 12-1 pm eastern time starting on Monday.

Meanwhile, Brent Bozell helpfully reminds us that ABC News apparently had no objection to George Stephanopoulos’ description of Jesse Helms as a “terrorist” on This Week in 1997:

Sam Donaldson: “I think Governor Weld has done this country a service in a sense, even though I think that he’s been shot down in the ocean now, and that is by allowing the country to see Senator Helms in action. Over the years I’ve run into him two or three times at receptions here and he’s the most gentlemanly, courtly, friendly, pleasant individual you would ever hope to meet. But, when you see him in action, you see beneath that courtliness beats the heart of a dictator and I think the country is appalled.”

George Stephanopoulos: “Or a terrorist. The President is really, I think made a mistake because he’s been negotiating with a terrorist here.”
