Passionate conversation rose out of City Hall Wednesday morning, when the Los Angeles City Council approved a resolution requiring conservative talk radio station KFI-AM 640, and its parent company Clear Channel Media, to do everything in their power to ensure their hosts do not promote or use racist and sexist slurs over LA airwaves.
The motion called to attention what critics of KFIs John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou have called inflammatory remarks made against minorities by the controversial co-hosts. The resolution also cites radio host Rush Limbaughs recent comments about Sandra Fluke.
It is easy to become desensitized to what other groups find intolerable which ultimately fosters an environment where negative comments can go unchecked and corporate guidelines and policies are no longer being enforced, the resolution suggests.
The John and Ken Show has been under fire for offending members of the Korean community by referring to Korean painter scam guys and suggesting certain cultures
become involved in certain lines of work.
When Whitney Houston died, the hosts dismissed the award-winning singer as a crack ho and were suspended for their statements.
But those remarks are not the first time the hosts have been criticized for their commentary. KFI and Clear Channel also faced scrutiny when Kobylt and Chiampou gave out a personal phone number for the director of communications at the Coalition for Humane Rights of Los Angeles, which resulted in hundreds of hateful and racist voicemails and calls.
Members of the Korean American Bar Association, National Hispanic Media Association, Los Angeles Urban League and Black Media Alliance made the case for the resolution, arguing that such incendiary rhetoric was intolerable and irresponsible.
Im a listener of KFI, said Jasmyne Cannick of the Black Media Alliance. They need to leave the race baiting alone. Referring to African-American women as fat, black and lazy is unacceptable on the air here in Los Angeles.
