Scientology Lies

Radio talk show host Bob Snyder is fired by WDCL. He said the station was threatened with a $5-million suit if it did not stop him from criticizing the church. WDCL's general manager, Ross Charles, said the station attorney advised that Snyder be fired because of litigation expenses that "a little station in Dunedin" could not survive. Snyder will be rehired a month later with the understanding that he would not discuss Scientology on his program. However, he begins writing a newsletter and organized several public forums in which he criticized the church. [Early Feb. 1976; exact date unknown.]
