Last Thursday on Salem-owned rightwing talk WIND in Chicago, "The Morning
Answer" ("The Answer" is Salem's branding for their rightwing talkers)
hosts Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson were just having a good old time mocking
Gus Walz's "That's my dad!" response to his dad Tim's speech at the
Democratic National Convention, Proft comparing Gus to Chris Farley's
impersonation of Rudy Giuliani's son on "SNL" and Jacobson laughing and
imitating Gus--I guess they thought it was typical rightwing talk radio
behavior, but Proft has supposedly been taken off the board of Envision
International, an organization providing assistance to people with
intellectual, developmental and psychiatric disabilities and Jacobson has
stepped down from her other gig as volleyball coach at a Chicago high
school with several students on the spectrum after parents complained about
her actions (if you get a box on the link, X it out--you'll still be able
to read the article):

Proft, who originates his end of the show from Florida (since Chicago is
obviously a crime-ridden liberal hellhole), was involved in PACs that
unsuccessfully tried to beat Illinois Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor
Johnson in recent elections, while Jacobson already had infamy in her stint
as a TV reporter at NBC's WMAQ, where she got fired for wearing a bikini in
the home of a man she was doing a report on. The thing is that we don't
really know what sort of audience they get, since Salem does not subscribe
to the Nielsen ratings for WIND (once a great radio station when
Westinghouse owned it from the 50s to the 80s) and sister AM station
"Christian teaching" WYLL (how in the hell do they get advertisers, then?).
Oh yes, here's the "SNL" Giuliani sketch, in case you forgot:
