Pandora radio sells out

Pandora's problem? The more they stream, the more they lose.  They're still trying to figure out how to monitize the whole streaming music thing.  Not enough people are willing to pay a subscription to listen to ad free music. Pandora is depenent on ad sales to pay for the music people want to hear. The net loss in the three months ending April 30 grew to $28.6 million, or 16 cents per share, from a loss of $20.2 million, or 12 cents per share, a year ago.

I guess Pandora is now more concerned about making money and is willing to accept advertisements from anyone. Pandora radio recently accepted advertisements from FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform), an anti-immigrant hate group as identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

According to SPLC:

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a group with one mission: to severely limit immigration into the United States. Although FAIR maintains a veneer of legitimacy that has allowed its principals to testify in Congress and lobby the federal government, this veneer hides much ugliness. FAIR leaders have ties to white supremacist groups and eugenicists and have made many racist statements. Its advertisements have been rejected because of racist content. FAIR’s founder, John Tanton, has expressed his wish that America remain a majority-white population: a goal to be achieved, presumably, by limiting the number of nonwhites who enter the country. One of the group’s main goals is upending the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which ended a decades-long, racist quota system that limited immigration mostly to northern Europeans. FAIR President Dan Stein has called the Act a "mistake."

"Immigrants don't come all church-loving, freedom-loving, God-fearing … Many of them hate America, hate everything that the United States stands for. Talk to some of these Central Americans." 
— FAIR President Dan Stein, interviewed by Tucker Carlson, Oct. 2, 1997
