I'm sure Smitherman will be all over this(rightfully so - this is an issue I'd agree with him on)

 

I just uploaded a link to the video, titled "CNN's Eric Deters says: "Conquer Africa with White Women and Pot".  That ought to get some attention.

 

I think this guy's professional career is over.  And both of his restaurants closed this year too.  In the midst of their coverage of various Cincinnati restaurant failures, they didn't report on Bulldog's Roadhouse closing at Newport-on-the-Levee.

Haha I just saw it.  Twitter.com/infocastnews  from the UK is the first via twitter

The video appears to be getting about 40 hits per hour, which means it hasn't been picked up by a big cat yet. 

I just tweeted it. So 4 more people know about it now!

Daily Kos: CNN Legal Consultant: "Send White Women and Pot" by yours truly.

This might have wings.

We, The Fake Cincinnati Enquirer twitter, just tweeted your link JMecklenborg and sent emails to Media Matters, The NAACP, Huffington post, and working on a contact at CNN

I hope you sent it to the national NAACP, because Smitherman probably doesn't care.

For the record, I also like white women and pot.

^Who doesn't?

 

BTW, I sent your Daily Kos post to another CNN legal consultant and on-air personality I happen to know.

For the record, I also like white women and pot.

 

Duly noted. We at UrbanOhio do not discriminate against white women nor pot. Just Eric Deters.

I hope you sent it to the national NAACP, because Smitherman probably doesn't care.

 

the email to smitherman was returned saying "Temporarily over quota"

CNN just tweeted:

 

@geekjames @LivingInGin Thank you for making us aware of this. We are making the correct people aware & will respond as soon as we hear back

Just got this tweet from @TeamCNN:

 

Thank you for making us aware of this. We are making the correct people aware & will respond as soon as we hear back.

 

 

Wow. That's all I have to say. Just, wow.

There has got to be more videos on his website with other insane statements

Another update from CNN:

 

 

And there you have it, folks. It's okay to appear on CNN as a paid commentator if you're a racist blowhard, as long as you're not a racist blowhard on CNN.

I think his connection has been a little overblown.  He appeared one time on a CNN HL program.... and I suspect he won't be appearing again.  At least that is what I infer from the response I got from a regular on CNN.

700 WLW just said he's down in Atlanta right now negotiating a deal.  Not sure if that was them just making stuff up or not. 

If true, it will be a tough interview now.

He's been active on his Facebook page this afternoon and deleted my post regarding this matter. 

More controversial videos.  Watch them before he deletes them

 

http://bit.ly/iryM1W

He has never had a homophobic moment..... he just doesn't want "them" to touch him.  Classic.

He has never had a homophobic moment..... he just doesn't want "them" to touch him.  Classic.

 

He's already deleted the first video.  I assume he will delete them all.  I hope someone recorded them

If he didn't say anything wrong, then why would he delete them? :-P

 

If you believe what you say, then stand up for yourself and accept the praise or punishment. What a wuss.

To me he comes off as an amateur comedian/sidekick radio personality, so I can't take what he said seriously or have the reaction you all are having.  I wouldn't sit around to listen to him but Rush and company prove there is a market.

Fact: I don't think any of us could have said what he said in those videos and still have our jobs.  We would not just be fired -- we'd have a hard time finding professional employment of any kind. 

 

It's not okay to excuse the actions of talk radio hosts as "entertainment".  They are profoundly influential. 

He is consumed by hate.  I actually feel sorry for him.

On Que.

Well, the backup of the video has been removed now as well.  I had every intention of videotaping all of these videos straight off of my computer screen yesterday but discovered that my video camera is no longer working.

 

 

So his defense is that he is only a racist or says inappropriate things in private?

 

So he is justifying being racist because it's okay as long as it's done out of the public eye?

 

He just dug a bigger hole with his quotes in the article.

It's still can be found if you want to record it.  He has gone back and deleted the video about Mexicans

Finally -- someone else calls him out for being on cocaine.  I've had two or three bosses who did cocaine every day and one of them acted EXACTLY like this. 

Is there a Mac version of a download like that?

Just a few of the websites that have posted the video(most using the youtube link that has now been removed for some reason):

http://cincinnatimonocle.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-isnt-eric-deters-story-huge-yet.html

New video on Mexicans from Cinawesome.  Deters deleted it but supposedly the blog recorded it beforehand.

 

Script is as followed:

 

"“I don’t want to–by the way, I’m not kidding you–I love my black buddies. Here’s somethin’. You know what? It’s hard to describe, but I’m almost like, envious of their contentment and their world. I really am. You know, and by the way, I’m not talking about–my black friends aren’t like, super-duper, professional doctors and lawyers and stuff. My black buddies are working class or less athletes, okay? Those are my buddies.

 

But, uh, not to just pick on them–and I’m not picking on them, I’m just stating fact. Now this is a true story. My dad has a couple legal Mexicans that work for him. And one is Jose. Do you know how tall Jose is? I swear to God I think he’s three-foot-two inches tall. And one day I’m talkin’ to Jose and I’m lookin’ at Jose and i said to myself, “Jose, can there be any freaking doubt why 200 freakin’ Americans led by Sam Bowie and Davy Crockett fought off thousands and thousands of Mexicans? I’ve got this visual of these Mexicans about three foot tall, jumping over the wall, and Davy Crockett just goin, whoosh, whoosh [makes tossing motion]. Jose even laughed because he too is not politically correct.

 

This is the bulldog, every dog has their day. Blacks can jump, whites can’t, Mexicans are short. This is the Bulldog, every dog has their day, I hope tomorrow is yours.”

Eric Deters FIRED from 700wlw.

 

http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2011/06/01/wlw-am-fires-talk-host-eric-deters/

Ouch. Bring Eddie Fingers back.

Did UrbanOhio have something to do with this??

 

And when I read Deters' statement, I thought I was reading something penned by Charlie Sheen!!

Whoever recorded that video can take the credit.  I don't know who it was.  If Deters was too computer illiterate to upload his own videos to Youtube, he obviously didn't know that people can copy them. 

 

 

When does suing begin?  I think it is a matter of time with you know who....

Smitherman calls in later in the video

I am stunned, but not really. 

Oh this is getting interesting:

 

"The Truth about 700 WLW

 

From Eric Deters Newsletter, June 2, 2011

 

 

I must begin with stating that 700 WLW, up until this past week, gave me a wonderful opportunity. I have never been a "what have you done for me lately". However, I must explain my anger and my activities since Chuck Frederick called me Tuesday. What they did, by "no longer needing me services" after the video blog is to tell the world that 700 WLW does not approve of this video blog and we disapprove of it so much, we are firing Eric Deters. Therefore, they publicly tried to brand me a racist. What could they have done and should have done? Allowed me to go on air Saturday as planned. I would have apologized. I could have explained why I'm NOT a racist and moved on. Matter over. They could have shown loyalty. I received the radio opportunity to speak and explain, not from my "friends" at 700 WLW but from Lincoln Ware on the BUZZ. Listen to the webcast. The callers called in with stories proving my innocence as a racist. Chris Smitherman from the NAACP even called and said let's move on. How ridiculous is 700 WLW? The black radio station and callers support me, they don't. Someone I know from 700 WLW listened to the entire BUZZ interview. They said: "WLW are buffoons." Why would I be so mad they "threw me overboard"? Here's why.

 

 

 

There is no regular or occasional listener of 700 WLW who has not heard worse comments than this everyday on the radio station. Comments derogatory towards blacks, Hispanics, stroke victims, women, and more. You name it. It's been on the air. And not from me. I have bashed Obama and Bush. For them to fire me is the height hypocrisy. But, its far worse than this. Before I provide what I did for 700 WLW the last three to four years, allow me to share the truth about Clear Channel at 700 WLW.

 

 

 

Who wants boring radio? No one. It's about entertainment. But why do it by insulting the listeners or abusing the listeners? Willie states things all the time you and I know are not true. The women he's dating? It's funny. Why do talk show hosts need fake callers? I couldn't stand it. Nick from Loveland is a fake caller. He's funny. He's fake. Who else is fake? Richard from Indian Hill. Fake. Rodney from Norwood. Do you think he's real? The women who call in on Sloanie and Tracie's show complaining about things? They have a female caller that plays more than one role. Tip: ridiculous caller. Fake. The tornado damage stealer. Fake.

 

 

 

700 WLW does not have any black talk show hosts except Doc Rodgers who is limited to Extra Innings. He's a class act. He also was kind enough to send an email in support of me. He knows I'm not a racist. How does the largest radio station in Cincinnati have no women or black hosts except a black who does limited spots? I'm a racist? Whitey (as Tracy Jones says) fired me when only whitey was mad.

 

 

 

700 WLW has some wonderful people. The entire news team. Wonderful. Segman. Great person. All the producers. Great young people. By the way, the day I was fired, I gave $375 to the producers to sponsor their softball team. Me, the part-time guy. Bill Cunningham is one of the best human beings I know. Jim Scott. Smooth. Good guy. Despite their shenanigans, Tracie and Sloanie are good people. Steve Summer and Bubba Bo. Good people. Sherry Rowland. A gem. I'm sure I forgot others.

 

 

 

Allow me to share some true stories about a few members of 700 WLW. Chuck Frederick is a phoney. He's a white collar, snobby, phoney. Cares about no one. Every time I spoke to him I thought yuck. Joe Frederick. The same. He once strangled an employee in his office. No discharge. And, I learned from day one, he hated and Chuck hated that a "Plaintiff's lawyer" got on their station somehow. Their buddies would pound them.

 

 

 

I thought Darryl Parks was my friend. Two weeks ago I wrote him a handwritten personal letter thanking him for his friendship. He's the double agent at the radio station. He acts like my buddy, but then would simply ignore emails, texts, or other things. When he got promoted, they had a party. I decided not to drive up from Independence. I learned three people showed up from the entire station. Wonder why? After I was fired, he responded to an email like he didn't know.

 

 

 

He is a big phoney. He is also a "coach". I marvel at this, because everything he told me to do, he never does, Doc Thompson never does it and thank God I didn't do all of it.

 

 

 

Also, he kept picking people over me. Thank him for Doc Thompson. His ratings are so bad, that's why he's on with Jim Scott all the time. It's why he invites himself to the Stooge Reports. All he does is ruin them. He's a complete bust. They have to try to save him to save face. Who gets excited to listen to Doc Thompson? Trust me. Most people at the radio station, myself included, think he's a dork.

 

 

 

Marc Amazon. Who gets excited to listen to him?

 

 

 

When they named me interim night time host in September, I asked Darryl "Am I the guy?" he said "yes". He told others I was. I sent an email about pay or insurance to Chuck and Darryl. They ignored it. Re-sent it. Ignored it.

 

 

 

From September, October, November, and December, I was on every night and every Saturday and Sunday except when basketball or football bumped me. No pay. The strain on me was unbelievable. I told my wife: "This will be worth it. I'm going to be the guy. Paid.". I hired lawyers. I ramped up Bulldog stuff and websites. I prepared. In addition, I was the only host without a producer lining up guests. All my music. All my ideas. All my bits. All my and Chuck Holbrook ideas. I had to prepare shows. I did it. What else did I do for 700 WLW:

 

 

 

1. Never was late

 

2. Always accepted the gigs.

 

3. Would go at a moment's notice.

 

4. Wrote Willie's book. Darryl asked to write the Intro. I agreed.

 

5. Went to events - Matthew 25/Car Dealers

 

6. Gave the station client exclusive interviews.

 

7. Did legal commentaries on a moment's notice

 

8. 5,000 people showed up at my MMA fight. Ten people showed up to watch Marc C lose to Willie.

 

 

 

What did I get out of all this? A lot of publicity. I benefited. No question. But, I was given a promise. Then, they chose Marc Amazon. They weren't even going to tell me. Rich Walburg made them. Chuck Frederick met with me and told me the news. I couldn't believe it. I sucked it up. To this day, I regret not telling them to jump in a lake then. Guess who Darryl Parks told to "warm up in the bullpen" when they thought Willie was leaving. Me. I was, in their minds, good enough to be thrown in for Willie, good enough to be the Bill Plummer, good enough to have more social network friends than any of them, good enough to build Bulldog Nation up, good enough to get speaking engagements. But, not good enough to be treaty with loyalty, decency, and respect.

 

 

 

Andy Furman. Escorted out of the building. Mike McConnell. Escorted out of the building. Paul Daugherty. Escorted out of the building. Eddie Fingers. Escorted out of the building. Rich Walburg. Treated like dirt when he left. No matter who you are, they don't care. It's a culture. And, review their current line up and compare it to a year ago.

 

 

 

Advertisers should not advertise. Listeners should not listen. Everyone there, except Willie, work in fear. As far as ratings, we were coached how to manipulate them. It works.

 

 

 

I was there for a long while. I formed relationships. Lance McAllister's wife works for me. I saw him every night I worked nights. Not as much as a text. Gary Jeff Walker. They mistreat him.

 

 

 

Why was I fired? I'll tell you why. In Chuck, Joe, and Darryl's eyes I got to big for my britches. Let me explain. They want you to become a radio personality. So I did. Sherry Rowland asked me to walk in the Reds Parade. (By the way, the Reds make they radio station. They count!) I said sure. Marc Amazon heard. He complained he wasn't asked. So they asked him.

 

 

 

I took Whiskey, got a Bulldog Nation Flag, my Reds hat, and showed up. Before and during the parade people shouted "Bulldog". No one even knew who Marc Amazon was. When Sherry Rowland text me: "How is it going?" I responded: "They love me." Darryl Parks, I guess was with Sherry, texted me: "Eric. They love you? Lose the ego." He destroyed my psyche. I texted back: "Do you want me to be a radio personality or not?". My day was ruined. Later, he tried to claim he was joking.

 

 

 

I could feel it. Doc T. Darryl. Marc C. Resentment. Here I am a part-timer and I'm more popular than they are.

 

 

 

I have been told by insiders they were waiting for an excuse to fire me. They jumped at the chance.

 

 

 

Clear Channel epitomizes the worse in Corporate America. By the way, they are struggling with advertising dollars. By the way, they will give more duties/hours to people, no increase in pay. Paul Mason. They are killing him.

 

 

 

I call on all of Bulldog Nation. Email them. Call them. Call their talk shows. Lie about why calling to the producers. Then blast them. Let's make them miserable. Make them use the dump button.

 

 

 

I'll help. Advertisers. Take your money some place else. If I can get one advertiser to cancel, I'd be happy.

 

 

 

Ask yourself this question: why do you listen or advertise on a radio station who mistreats everyone, including Willie?

 

 

 

The following is a sample of emails I'm getting:

 

 

 

"That blows, you were a refreshing, entertaining personality on WLW. I have a 13 year old son who over the course of last year or so has so much enjoyed listening to you that he wants to be a lawyer himself. It started last summer, when we were out on the pool deck, if you were on the radio, he would turnoff the local rock and roll station and listen to you. He still lights up if we are in the truck headed somewhere and you come on the radio. You unknowingly made an impression on him and gave him his first sense of what he may want to do with his life. We will miss hearing you on the radio."

 

 

 

Inspired. Informed. Entertained. Hell, Doc T and Marc C couldn't believe I could do stand up too. Their bashing of that was no act. It was real.

 

 

 

Finally, sorry folks if you think the Bulldog was going to put up with their corporate crap. I challenge Chuck, Joe, and Darryl to who has the better race record. You think those country club jerks can relate to black culture? Ever co-signed a loan for a young black man? I have a bust of MLK, Jr. in my office. They don't. I've already sent out my record. I won't do it again.

 

 

 

I'm not a racist. Clear Channel radio are racists. They are also phoney, uncaring, disrespectful jerks. Join me in making their lives miserable. I almost forgot that I am suing them for fraud for their misrepresentation. I also have reported them to the FCC for their fraud in not paying me. After January when they screwed me, they paid me $10 a hour just to not violate the rule. They stiffed me after Rich left. I told them to preserve all of their emails and hard drives so I can find out what they said to each other and prove none of their advertisers really cared about my video blog.

 

 

 

They have the Reds, the Bengals, the news, Willie and 50,000 Watts. That's it. It has nothing to do with their business talent. Let me tell you what they do when someone is fired. They send an email. Don't mention their name on the air or by a caller. It's funny. Also, they play the silence, hope it goes away card. Not going to work. I'm going to pound, pound, and pound.

 

 

 

I'll have even more to share next week. I think next week I'll share what they say about each other! Yeah Doc. Everyone thinks you're a dork. If I would have went quietly in the night, they would have won. Sorry. My style is to defend myself. I care about my family, friends, clients and fans. They need the truth. As always, they never abandon me. I don't care about the "haters" and Clear Channel radio. Leaving there is setting me free. They would have never allowed me to take off. Real Talk 1160 may be smaller, but they won't be holding Bulldog Nation back!"

He still doesn't get it. 

That's a lot of rambling nonsense. Clearly he didn't learn about concise, efficient writing in law school. I wonder if his legal briefs look like that.

I'm loving this gossip behind the scenes. 

 

The fake callers, what they really think of each other, etc.  Always knew Nick from Loveland was a "liberal plant" they put on the air to make democrats sound stupid.
