It looks like poor ratings, erratic behavior, and making fun of a 4 year olds tragic death were finally enough to get Jessica McBride the boot off talk AM radio.
All I can really add is good riddance. She was a partisan hack who’s never had an original thought that didn’t originate from a GOP press release and frankly she didn’t deserve the basement time slot they gave her. Further, she certainly doesn’t deserve to be teaching a an accredited research institution like UWM.
It might sound harsh, and we have mutual friends, but her brand of overly partisan, illogical, unethical, attack first, ask questions later (if at all) hackery jokingly masked as “journalism” is something we need less of in public discourse.
Hopefully her replacement on the radio brings more substance to the public debate, but knowing the employer, I’m not holding my breath.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and son Carter.

Whoa, easy there … what makes her unqualified to teach at UW-M??!?!
I didn’t say she was unqualified, after all being a lecturer at UWM “only” (thats not meant as a slam, just a comparative qualification of the level required) requires a Graduate degree.
She’s got a well-documented history of partisanship and can’t seem to seperate that from her lectures, such as those in the “critical writing”. Ask anyone who’s taken a class with her or just read the feedback of students over the years to get a feeling why she doesn’t deserve to be teaching journalism at a research level university.
