"Classic" KING-FM airs anti-gay-rights ("No on 71") ads...

[regnaD kciN]

Specifically, "Harry and Louise"-style spots on how -- get this -- we need to reject protection of domestic partnerships to "send a message" to the legislature to concentrate on "real problems" like unemployment instead of wasting their time "adding extra rights" for domestic partners.

Now, KING prefaces the ads with a blurb about how they "don't necessarily reflect" the views of KING-FM. Nonetheless:

a) they are airing them, and hence helping to spread the message of the anti-gay fundies,

b) I sure haven't heard any spots for the other side aired on KING, and

c) isn't there something shameful about a foundation co-owned by the symphony, opera, and ballet lending their voice to a movement to strip domestic partnership protection?

Does the term "blood money" ring a bell? :grr:

1. The shameful part is probably more like

KING-FM needing the ad money due to a lack of funding.

2. On the contrary, they've got plenty of funding...

...since they have a hefty endowment through the Bullitt Foundation.
