Groups want FCC to police hate speech on talk radio, cable news networks
By Gautham Nagesh - 06/01/10 01:02 PM ET
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is being urged to monitor "hate speech" on talk radio and cable broadcast networks.

A coalition of more than 30 organizations argue in a letter to the FCC that the Internet has made it harder for the public to separate the facts from bigotry masquerading as news.

The groups also charge that syndicated radio and cable television programs "masquerading as news" use hate as a profit model.

"As traditional media have become less diverse and less competitive, they have also grown less responsible and less responsive to the communities that they are supposed to serve," the organizations wrote to the FCC. "In this same atmosphere hate speech thrives, as hate has developed as a profit-model for syndicated radio and cable television program masquerading as 'news.'"

The organizations, which include Free Press, the Center for Media Justice, the Benton Foundation and Media Alliance, also argue that the anonymity of the Web gives ammunition to those that would spread hate.

The groups did not mention any specific programming on the right or the left in their letter, which supports a petition filed by the National Hispanic Media Coalition last year requesting a probe of the relationship between hate speech and hate crimes.

The groups argue the Internet has made it harder for the public to separate the facts from bigotry masquerading as news.

"The Internet gives the illusion that news sources have increased, but in fact there are fewer journalists employed now than ever before. Moreover, on the Internet, speakers can hide in the cloak of anonymity, emboldened to say things that they may not say in the public eye."

"For these reasons, as the Commission deliberates how the public interest will be served in the digital age, it should consider the extent of hate speech in media, and its effects."

I agree. That MECHA web site has really got to be taken off the internet. Next would be the La Raza site.

Latinos want to stop all cable, tv, internet and radio stations that dont agree with their agenda. Like open-borders, free health care, in-state tuition, wic, and other benefits that are covered by taxpaying citizens. There is nothing hateful about enforcing laws. Hispancs cant handle the fact that more Americans are now getting the message through the internet, cable and radio about the terrible impact illegal aliens have on our economy and culture.

maybe american citizens should be asking the FCC to investigate the
websites of LaRaza, LULAC, Maldef, and anything related to Mecha or Atzlan

Not all Latinos and Hispanics feel that way Bbean and you know full well that many Hispanics stand with us for border security and immigration law enforcement.

There's an idea! Not including English subtitles is exclusionary and divides the community!
