Radio Host Anthony Cumia From SiriusXM’s ‘Opie and Anthony’ Show Fired for Controversial Twitter Rant

Quote
Anthony Cumia, the “Anthony” part of the unfiltered “Opie and Anthony” show on SiriusXM radio, has been fired after criticism mounted over a graphic Twitter rant he engaged in that was called “racist,” “misogynistic,” and “hate-filled.”

Sirius decided to cave and fire me. Welcome to bizarro world. Fired for shit that wasn't even on the air & wasn't illegal. So, who's next?

— Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 4, 2014


RT @TedChrist: @AnthonyCumia Not suspended? Fired, so fired? -Fired, fired, so fired.

— Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 4, 2014


According to his Twitter account, Cumia says he was informed of the decision via email.

I recall that Opie and Anthony are leftists.

I've been following this all weekend and haven't seen one racist tweet from Cumia.  If there was one, it would be first thing in the article.  He is being branded "racist" because he criticized a culture that celebrates selfishness and violence at the expense of the people it destroys.  All you have do to is go to World Star Hip Hop and look at the thuggery on display.

If anyone can find a racist statement from Cumia (and not one of his followers as the media is using as an example) after he was physically attacked, I'd love to see it.

Thuggery on display: Three black girls beat and robbed an ice cream man in Charlotte then posted the video online.

I didn't even have to go looking for this.  It popped up on my news feed as soon as I opened a new tab on my browser.  I guess the innocent ice cream man must be a racist too.

Doesn't matter, they've been found guilty of heresy in the church of liberalism.

A lot of people of both stripes are getting fed up with the political correctness mongers.  They took the rule book of the race baiters, and now use it for just about anything.

The hell of it is that he said it on his personal twitter account. Not the Official Opie and Anthony twitter feed...he didn't say this on the air.

It was his personal thoughts on his personal social media account. If he can be fired for that...I suggest ALL of us need to scrub things tom our social media feeds before our bosses take a look at them.


I also kind of find it a bit hypocritical of Sirius/XM to talk about standards consider the conversations and language used previously on the Playboy Channel on currently on the Vivid Channel.

They fear a massive backlash. It is like a swarm.

‘Opie and Anthony’ Fans Canceling SiriusXM Subscriptions in Wake of Cohost’s Firing Over Racially Charged Tweets
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/07/05/opie-and-anthony-fans-canceling-siriusxm-subscriptions-in-wake-of-cohosts-firing-over-racially-charged-tweets/

Quote
“Opie and Anthony” fans are canceling subscriptions to SiriusXM in reaction to the satellite radio company firing cohost Anthony Cumia earlier this week for racially charged tweets, according to The Wrap.

Cumia said he was taking pictures in Times Square late Tuesday/early Wednesday when a black woman took exception to being included in one of the pictures and “punched” him (as many as 10 times, he said). That’s when, he explained, five other black men jumped in and started giving him “sh**.”

Major miscalculation.

I sure would like to see a follow up interview with Peggy Joseph. The fact is owebuma has been the most divisive president in history. Along with his attorney general they will set back harmonious race relations 100 years or more.

Especially in a media market such as this apparently was (I've never tuned in Sirius/XM, so I don't know these guys from Adam) personal account may not matter. 

Many years ago, in between jobs, I moonlighted as a forklift operator at a bottling/distributorship.  These guys were the ones the convenience stores go to for PBR, Dos Equis, Rolling Rock, MGD and the like.  Anyway, during one of the sports seasons (I think it was during an NCAA basketball tournament or something) the local news station went to a favored watering hole in town, to get crowd reaction shots, and one of the guys I worked with was there, watching the game on the big screen, and downing a brew or two at the bar. Well, just about as fast as the TV station's 6-second delay could transmit the video to air, the guy's cell phone went off - right on camera. It was our boss, and he was watching the news feed from the bar, where this guy had been wearing his ball cap with the distributor's name and logo on it, but he was drinking a Budweiser (competitor's brand).  The boss fired him right there over the cell phone, with the news camera recording it all for the viewing pleasure of God knows how many.

This "Opie & Anthony" thing sounds like a similar deal, to me. :shucks:

I really don't pay much attention to Opie and Anthony, so I am not up to details with them.
