National Association Commentary: KMOG—The Church of Hypocrisy on the Airwaves
In a town that wraps itself in patriotism and Christianity, KMOG radio should be the last thing standing. Yet here it is—the loudspeaker for a brand of hypocrisy that would make any Sunday-school teacher faint. Kenny Murphy, the station’s resident moral gymnast, opens his show with a prayer and then spends the next hour breaking every principle he just invoked. It’s a familiar routine in Payson: Steve Otto, Jim Ferris, Charlie Bell—the Tea Party’s holy trinity—do the same every week at Town Hall. Pray first, betray the prayer second.
On KMOG, lies and distortions wash over the airwaves like a monsoon. Kenny welcomes any caller eager to defend Trump’s abuses, but the second a truth bomb appears—click—the line goes dead. That’s the editorial policy: propaganda in, truth out.
Yesterday was a masterpiece in disinformation. While federal agents acting under Trump’s authority killed protesters in Minneapolis, Kenny strained every muscle to blame anyone except the people who pulled the triggers. It was nauseating. KMOG is Fox News on steroids—where amateur liars become instant experts, and the truth is treated like contraband.
When Wendy Rogers or Eli Crane unleash one of their trademark whoppers, does Kenny challenge them? Of course not. KMOG has become the clubhouse for anyone in Payson willing to uphold the fantasy, spin the story, or sanctify the deception. If you’ve got a lie to tell, they’ve got a microphone.
I’ve contacted the advertisers who bankroll this little local Nazi-style propaganda outlet. You should too. Silence is how these operations survive. Accountability is how they end.
