"Cumulus Media, a media outlet with numerous right-wing talk radio stars such as Mark Levin and Dan Bongino, has issued an internal memo directing all talk show hosts to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump, or else face immediate termination.
The move is especially consequential seeing as Cumulus owns 416 radio stations in 84 regions nationwide, most of which feature right-wing talk radio programs. Such programs have come under scrutiny from listeners and advertisers following last Wednesday's riot by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol.
"We need to help induce national calm NOW," Brian Philips, executive vice president of content for Cumulus, wrote in an internal memo on behalf of Cumulus and its program syndication arm, Westwood One, according to The Washington Post.
"[The companies] will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable 'paths,'" the memo continues. "If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.""
