the dog house situation

No, we haven't forgotten about the Dog House (catch up here, here and here). The Pacific Citizen reports on recent gatherings of APA activists and leaders outside of CBS headquarters to protest JV and Elvis of 92.3 FreeFM and their racist Asian-themed radio segments: After Don Imus, Hate Radio Lives On. The article includes this video of the protest, courtesy of FalloutCentral.com. Of course, there are already some of the usual "Go back to China" commenters accompanying the video on YouTube. So what is the word from CBS? Have they indeed decided to embrace the double standard of taking action against Don Imus for his remarks, while passively allowing the intentional on-air denigration of Asians on a regular basis? That's racist! Meanwhile, sponsors have been dropping like flies. As I've cautioned before, and will keep saying: do not let this issue just go quiet and fade away. Keep the pressure on, and demand action.

UPDATE: I'm told that JV and Elvis have been suspended indefinitely. But will they be fired? Last week, New York area chapters of OCA led a coalition of organizations to meet with representatives from CBS Radio and WFNY 92.3 FM regarding the situation: OCA Meets With CBS Radio and WFNY to Express Outrage Over Offensive Programming. They've also got an online petition you can sign demanding the dismissal of JV and Elvis: WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. Also, Fallout Central has been doing an amazing job chronicling this controversy, particularly noting each and every sponsor that has pulled advertising from the show. Keep up the good work, my friends.
