Race baiting assholes suspended over Whitney Houston “crack” comments.
Read about it here at the Los Angeles Times.
While what they said is despicable, I have heard them spew some of the most toxic statements about politicians (one of their segments is named Tax Revolt 201- Heads on a Stick) and minorities in Los Angeles. Who did they offend exactly? The Biz? Why was all of the other racist shit okay for their radio station KKKFI?
Check out this story from October 2011,
The rights groups accused the “John and Ken Show” of targeting an immigration rights activist, Jorge-Mario Cabrera, during a rant attacking the California Dream Act.
They gave out the office and personal phone numbers of Cabrera and encouraged their listeners to call him.
Cabrera had included the phone numbers as contact information in a press release.
Cabrera allegedly received more than 430 abusive and threatening phone calls with many of them threatening his and his family’s health and lives.
Many smaller advertisers have also pulled their advertising from the show, but they are afraid they will subject to a backlash from John and Ken, according to Nogales.
Clear Channel, which owns KFI, has refused to deal with Nogales because of his demand that John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou be fired.
KFI officials defended the program, releasing a written statement which said, “expressing your opinion is not a firing offense.”
Why is this “opinion” okay and worth defending for the station but not the Whitney comment? What the fuck? Sorry I’m angry.
