NAB Attacks Low-Powered FM Radio
Eddie Fritts and the NAB have failed to take steps to expand reading Services for the blind. Their apparent concern for protecting this service from alledged interference from LPFM seems to be more calculated to use the blind as a bludgeon to stifle the addition of new voices to the airwaves....

NAB Hate Radio Olympics
It’s no accident that the Marconi Radio Award nominees include Don Imus, Howard Stern, and Rush Limbaugh, while past winners include Limbaugh, Stern, and Dr. Laura. Their styles of hate radio, carefully blended with plausible deniability, are anything but an abberation from the norm that America’s corporate broadcast media have sunk to....

The NAB and Dr. Laura
“Dr.” Laura isn’t really a doctor--her degree is in physiology, not psychiatry or psychology. Nothing else about her is exactly what it seems, either. Thanks to the highly effective grassroots group StopDrLaura.com, people are fimally starting to get the picture....

Prague authorities revoke permits for demos
Prague authorities have revoked permits for all street demonstrations on September 26th.
This obvious abuse of power probably won't stop the thousands of activists gearing up to disrupt the IMF/World Bank meetings next week.
Activists from around the globe can also help out by signing the open protest letter to Czech President Vaclav Havel (once political prisoner himself), and by faxing it to his office and/or sending email.
