Re: [Marxism] Pacifica radio heads step down

people away because of amateurism or shrillness, it doesn't fucking matter
how good your politics are."

What's the matter, Louis, are Democracy Now! <http://www.democracynow.org>
and Flashpoints! <http://www.flashpoints.net> too "shrill" for you? Not
"entertaining" enough? Too many interviews with Dahr Jamail, Kevin Pina,
Robert Fisk, and Greg Palast, and not enough movie reviews?

Surely the country can stand (and listenership can justify) ONE station
where "entertainment" isn't the primary goal, but rather EDUCATION.
