Hi MaryAnn, Pacifica has become a free-for-all, that any would be power block has/could/can take over. Consider WPFW in the control of Caribbeans solely disinterested in the Survival/ Welfare Reality Issues of "the people made in america", who management and staff pretend not only to be, but to represent. FLASH: Pacifica's Broadcaster License was issued for and to serve as a microphone for "Minority" issues and voices with specific thresholds. Pacifica was never intended to serve white-artist, white-activist, white-writers and the anti-war military industrial, police complex! Pacifica has changed hands any number of times but mostly buy the same white and Zionist middle-class masquerading as progressives...except at WBAI. As for WPFW it's a case-study and an anomaly unto itself! It is time for some real change at Pacifica, starting with A GOOD HOUSE-CLEANING! But, Just Where Do We Start and How? ...made in america xtx1000@xxxxxxx wrote: There should be a balance of management and listener imput into the production of the folio. remember the original intent of the creation of Pacifica was to provide "all viewpoints". Giving one person full range to do and say what they want is not in line with that mission. peace, MaryAnn > Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 18:40:54 -0700> From: pkelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: > fulcrumsofchange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [Fulcrumsofchange] The KPFT > Folio's Third Edition?> > You all are really smoothing over your edges, > aren't you!> > > > From: Kevin White > > Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 17:44:30 -0800 > (PST)> > To: NewPacifica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, fulcrumsofchange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Subject: [Fulcrumsofchange] The KPFT Folio's Third Edition?> > > > Of course, > now that Ernesto is safely the folio's new editor, have you noticed> > that > suddenly there are no current issues?
