Entertainment industry watchdog IndustryEars joins the firefight over the New Yorker's Obama cartoon cover. The following statement hit the email this morning:
The July 21st, cover of "The New Yorker Magazine" featuring Barack and Michelle Obama is both tasteless and insensitive. Plans will be announced for a national boycott of the New Yorker Magazine. Advertisers, newsstands and stores that carry the New Yorker Magazine are being notified of our nationwide boycott.
Democrats, Republicans and American's find this so called 'satire"as divisive an inflammatory. The group, which is led by former BET host turned anti-defamation crusader Paul Porter, along with an organization called Project Islamic H.O.P.E, run by activist Najee Ali, will hold a press conference to announce their plans on Wednesday at noon.
