KSFO and Disney/ABC try to censor blogger to protect profits for hate talk

San Francisco Indymedia | KSFO and Disney/ABC try to censor blogger to protect profits for hate talk

KSFO and Disney/ABC are trying to censor http://www.spockosbrain.com/ for publishing clips of hate talk and then notifying advertisers of the hate talk they were supporting with their ad dollars. He used quotes that recommended a protester be "stomped to death right there," one saying of Pelosi, "We've got a bull's-eye painted on her big laughing eyes," and another that asked, "Why don't you right now say Allah is a whore."

Spockos's campaign is working. Bank of America, Mastercard, and the Michigan Economic Development Corp have all pulled adverstising and now KSFO/Disney/ABC are hopping mad and have had their lawyers send Spocko's ISP a letter asking that his site be pulled down so that he could no longer post clips from their hateful and violence-inciting broadcasts. Fortunately, someone else has taken those clips and posted them across the internet (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw5Ga6nC7nY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCcY5LrCMSA&NR). Today at noon, in a big freak-out response (or a cynical ratings ploy), KSFO will pre-empt regular programming to allow the KSFO personalities cited in Spocko's e-mails to answer questions on-air about the controversy from the public.
