MEDIA & ETHICS
To date, STAND has documented upwards of 650 instances of hate speech, outright lies and discriminatory content by American Media Inc., now A360 Media.
MEDIA & ETHICS
“This type of behavior is grossly unacceptable at any time, let alone when we daily see the effects of hate speech across our nation. KTLA should be mortified and appalled, and the station should join the ranks of responsible media outlets who condemn such ignorant, destructive rhetoric and apologize to the thousands they have offended.”
