LA tries to keep its airwaves 'crack ho' and 'slut' free [View all]

[Playinghardball]

Sorry Rush, but the days of saying "slut" on the airwaves may be over - at least in Los Angeles. City Council members passed a resolution today making the City of Angels's airwaves a racist and sex-slur free zone. LA becomes the first city in the country to adopt such a resolution, which demands that media companies do "everything in their power to ensure that their on-air hosts do not use and promote racist and sexist slurs." The resolution comes in the wake of the uproar that ensued when a couple of KFI 640 AM talk show jocks called Whitney Houston a "crack ho" three days after she died in February, as well as Limbaugh's labeling of Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke as a "slut."
