Pandora Should Ban Hate Ads
Pandora ran ads from the hate group FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform). We demand that Pandora make a public promise never to take money from FAIR or any other nationally identified hate groups again.
Why is this important?
I love Pandora. But on March 15 and 16, I heard advertisements on Pandora by FAIR--an organization identified as an immigration hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (more information available at http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2012/08/10/how-do-we-know-fair-is-a-hate-group-let-us-count-the-ways/).
According to Pandora, in the month of April 2013, the company had 70.1 million users, listening to a total of 1.31 billion hours. Unfortunately, Pandora has not limited their advertisements to ensure nationally-identified hate groups do not gain access to air time on their radio broadcast.
