Barbara Simpson, a weekly WND columnist known to San Francisco as "The Babe in the Bunker" for her talk show on ABC's KSFO, has been presented with the "Excellence in Media Broadcasting Award" by Eagle Forum of California.

Simpson received the award Saturday night at the group's 6th Annual Education Conference in the Bay Area where she spoke on the subject, "The Sellout of America Through Media Silence."

"Barbara is one of the few courageous radio hosts who speaks out on all issues facing us including the betrayal of American sovereignty on all levels," the group said.

Eagle Forum was founded by Phyllis Schlafly, the national president. She also spoke at the event.

Simpson has been working in radio, television and newspapers for 20 years and has written a weekly column at WND since 2000.

She's done talk radio in Northern and Southern California for KGO, KCBS, KFBK, KFI and KABC.
