KPFA host Philip Maldari accused journalist and writer Bob Scheer of "raving" for his sharp criticism of the Obama administration and the Democrats. He also said he was being paid by the station to take a position in defense of the government. He is a supporter of the "Save KPFA" crew that have wanted to make KPFA more like NPR and less activist.
This political attack on Scheer continues that political history of Maldari.

This is not as simple as first seeming, but it does mean listeners have, to an extent, been played...
Earlier in the program, he refers to Scheer as "raving". That interchange begins at 19 minutes after the hour.
For those who find Pacifica trivia amusing, there are call-ins from former PNB members Sherry Gendelman and Tomas Moran. Maldari cuts off Moran at the end of the hour.
While it was probably a lame attempt at humor, one wishes so much energy would be applied to "somehow challenging" the many failures of the democratic party and the bureaucratic wing of the labor movement. Can't we have on democratic politicians and grill them as intensely as Bob Scheer?
