During the March 27 and 29 broadcasts of his 630 KHOW-AM show, host Peter Boyles boasted at least eight times that he and his business partner, parody songwriter Don Wrege, "got a write-up in a national magazine" for their political parody production company, without noting that Wrege himself had authored the "write-up."

On March 27, Boyles noted that "there's a magazine out called Talkers Magazine, and it comes out once a month and it's about our business [radio talk shows]." Boyles then boasted that he and songwriter Wrege "[got] a big write-up in" the magazine for their production company, Mediawhore, which creates political song parodies. Similarly, during the March 29 broadcast, Boyles had Wrege on his show to "do a hats off" for their "write-up in a national magazine." Later Boyles said, "A national mag on, it's called Talkers, about our business -- did a big piece on Donnie and Mediawhore, and so we'll ... play a medley of our [song parody] hit."

Although Boyles mentioned the Talkers Magazine article at least eight times during the two broadcasts, he failed to note that Wrege wrote the "big piece" to which he kept referring. A link on the magazine's website identifies Wrege as the author of the article (subscription required), "Confessions of a media whore":

Confessions of a media whore

By Don Wrege

Producer

BOULDER, Colo. -- An extremely expensive executive counselor once told me that my constant letters to various Denver/Boulder, Colorado newspapers represented, "a sad cry for attention." He suggested I stop, and I took most of his advice; I started calling radio stations instead.

From the March 27 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Peter Boyles Show:

BOYLES: By the way, there's a magazine out called Talkers Magazine, and it comes out once a month and it's about our business. Don Wrege and I get a big write-up in it. So I'll see if we can get Wrege on the show a little later.

From the March 29 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Peter Boyles Show:

BOYLES: Don Wrege -- we'll go back to Mediawhore productions. Mediawhore productions, Don Wrege/Peter Boyles Present -- we got a write-up in a national magazine. So I thought, well, why not? We'll do a hats off to Don Wrege. And then [Minuteman Project co-founder] Chris Simcox will be with us.

[...]

BOYLES: Don Wrege will be with us from Mediawhore Productions. He's come down to be in the studio. A national mag on, it's called Talkers, about our business -- did a big piece on Donnie and Mediawhore, and so we'll -- we'll, we'll play a medley of our hit. [Laughs] There are just some crazy, crazy things going on in our world.

[...]

BOYLES: There's a thing, Talkers Magazine, and "Confessions of a media whore," and it's a national mag. And Don, of course, is multimedia producer, lives in Boulder. And we were all together through -- actually, we've got some more coming up, too. So hold on to your hats 'cause it gets much better.
