Gordon Monson thinks his firing was a conspiracy by BYU and the LDS Church...
Editing to add the quote so you don't have to click the link if you don't want to.
"Nobody could tell me why I, rather singularly, was uninvited.
Was it because, as a journalist, I couldn’t endorse advertisers’ products on air?
Was it because I also worked for The Salt Lake Tribune, and that didn’t sit well with KSL and its owners, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? That would be ironic, since I’m a lifelong member of that church, and was once offered a columnist job at the KSL-affiliated Deseret News, which I turned down.
Was it because I had recently written a column criticizing church leader Jeffrey Holland for a speech he gave at BYU and someone somewhere wanted to avoid a difficult explanation for having a host on the air who would do such a thing?
Was it because I occasionally ripped BYU’s football team (I praised it, too), and KSL is the home of the Cougars?"

I was sad for Gordo losing his job. Never was too fond of the guy. Didn't cheer. (DirtyWater, Oct 8, 2021 at 3:59pm)
Gordo’s tin-foil hattery reminds me of Wayne Howard’s claim that he had a drawer (Abe Froman, Oct 8, 2021 at 12:06pm)

List all the people laughing at Gordon Monson (Carnac, Oct 8, 2021 at 10:37am)

Funny how he thinks sports talk is irresponsible if it doesn’t dive into related politics and religion discussions too

Easy answer, the new owners didn’t want to pay what he was making. If he wants to make less, he’d be back on
