Radio Hall of Fame inductee disputed

“DuMONT’S HALL OF SHAME” headlined an expensive, full-page Tribune ad last week, protesting the induction of far-right broadcaster James Dobson of “Focus on the Family” into MBC’s National Hall of Fame on Nov. 8. Bruce DuMont is the founder and president of the Museum of Broadcast Communications, which annually holds the prestigious Hall of Fame fund-raiser.

“DumpDobson.com calls for DuMont to “Dobson is an ideologue who has built his radio empire on anti-gay hatred and discrimination,” declares the ad, paid for by by anti-bigotry organizations.
