"The mornings are just not the same without Gregg."
"I have listened to Gregg for years. What is the reason for his dismissal? I, for one will stop listening to your station!"
"Considering some of the banal boors masquerading as announcers of classical music and heard on wqxr daily, the dismissal of greg whiteside stamps the station as a group of musical morons."
"Gregg IS wqxr as far as I am concerned. No Gregg, no qxr."
"we miss him and want him back! The morning world is not the same without him."
"Miss him alot. His replacement Elliot Forest is not satisfactory."
"WQXR is just not the same without him; have almost stopped listening. Will certainly do so if he is not reinstated."
"This is probably way too late since WQXR is now a public station, but there has never been anyone able to come close to Gregg Whitside. He was a REAL person and a true delight to wake up to. Perhaps the new WQXR can get him back."
"This is a travesty. Don't be foolish - bring him back immediately!"
"How can you fire a fine and loyal employee without a hearing?"
"Very sad to see how far down the NY Times and WQXR have fallen from their great days. Private views are private views and one should not be punished for them. This whole affair does not sound right and a public airing would be appropriate."
"A suspension of several weeks of employment is surely punishment enough."
"After reading VV, WQXR should be ashamed"
"he was and is without equal the morning show just is not the same in fact I listen to wqxr much less now as a result"
"So, Greg Whiteside has been "disappeared". Is the Times now a government subsidiary? Greg, we want you back; not only for your wonderful self, but to prove that freedom of thought and speech are still extant."
"Stop the nonsense...Stop "ODing" on this political correct drug, which permits otherwise rational individuals to become automatons of sensitivity. Grow up and reinstate the man!"
