Disney gets plug pulled on blogger after criticism

Posted by Cory Bergman on January 5, 2007

It all started when blogger Spocko rightfully criticized Disney-owned, ABC-affiliated radio station KSFO for some of its ultra-right-wing commentary. (For example, the hosts demanded that callers mock Islam, called for public hangings of New York Times editor Bill Keller and suggested that a Sears’ Diehard battery be attached to an African-American’s testicles.) Spocko recorded some audio clips from the radio station’s air and posted them on his site to support his criticism. He also sent letters to the radio station’s advertisers, which were being mocked by the hosts, to let them know what was going on. So what does Disney do? Fire the hosts? Nope. They roll out their lawyers and send a cease-and-desist order to Spocko’s blog host, which pulls the plug on him. Unbelievable. Read more about it on DailyKos, which has the letters. UPDATES: The clips that were pulled down are now spreading like crazy. A Technorati search of “spocko” shows 370 results, most of which have been posted in the last 24 hours. And there’s a video slide show on YouTube expressing solidarity with Spocko and featuring some clips from the radio hosts.

Some would argue whether the details are accurate, I’d rather argue the fact that the conclusion isn’t based on anything. But hey, that’s just me.
