I have been writing about Liberman’s Spanish-language programming for quite some time now, and was always appalled at the lack of response by mainstream media about the offensive nature of some of their programming.
Things might change soon.
Today the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) filed a joint complaint with the FCC against Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. and KRCA, a broadcast television station serving the Los Angeles area. The complaint is in response to a string of broadcasts of the Spanish-language television talk show José Luis Sin Censura, which contains indecent, profane, and obscene material, offensive language, nudity, and on-air verbal and physical attacks against women as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
Watch for yourself (if you can stomach it, that is.)

But wait. Aren’t Hispanic advertisers and marketers that you always write about running to put ads in these shows? …. I think they are. Otherwise, these shows would not exist.
Esta cabron, pero no me extraña… Jerry Springer y un monton de otros programas en Ingles pavimentaron ese camino
Thank you Laura.
