As we reported last week, two radio hosts made startling comments that they believe NBA star Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s AIDS claims in the 80’s was a ploy. Johnson and many others were outraged by the comments and the station issued this statement:

“KTLK recognizes the seriousness of the health issues presented by HIV / AIDS — and the great work that Magic Johnson has done … We regret that some off-hand remarks by commentators on KTLK did not reflect that. To better inform our listeners and employees, KTLK will be airing HIV/AIDS awareness public service announcements, and will be reaching out to Mr. Johnson to get his thoughts on education efforts.”

Do you think that Magic lied and if so why ?
