Bob Garfield, Longtime Co-Host Of Wnyc’s ‘On The Media’, Fired For Bullying By New York Public Radio
Bob Garfield, longtime co-host of Wnyc’s On the Media, has been fired by the station’s parent entity New York Public Radio for violating its anti-bullying policy, one of a series of measures instituted after a storm of harassment and abuse accusations several years ago that led to high profile exits of on-air personalities and managers.
Garfield, who has hosted the weekly hourlong show with Brooke Gladstone for 20 years, was fired after two separate investigations found he had violated Nypr policy. He had also been disciplined and warned after an inquiry in 2020. Gladstone will continue to host On the Media, the Peabody Award-winning show with millions of listeners broadcast by over 400 public radio stations. It offers deep-dive and witty analyses of pressing issues of the times from politics and race to climate and Covid through the lens of media and media coverage.

President Donald Trump and the impeachment inquiry may be pushing the country into a new level of polarization, but a group of media organizations and civic groups is trying to at least tame the talk at the Thanksgiving dinner table — beyond suggesting everyone just chat about the weather.
Their effort is part of a project called The Purple Project for Democracy, which was launched this year as a way to promote democratic values and institutions.
“In this moment of rampant political divisiveness, Purple seeks to end family bickering over Thanksgiving dinner, make everyone’s voices heard and help us all remember and be grateful for (as messy as it can be) our democracy,” the group said in an announcement.
The group, The Purple Project for Democracy, even unveiled an online toolkit, which includes ways to “start your Thanksgiving conversations on the same factual footing.”
