KPFA 68 And Today-Morning Show, Calendar Censor SF State Strike While KQED Covers It

The "Concerned Listeners" supported management apparently did not have the time or inclination to cover the nationally significant San Francisco State strike during most of their daily programs including the Morning Show and the noon shows.
The management and morning show staff knew about the 68' commemoration events for many weeks before 10/29/2008 but were apparently unable to present programs on the struggle and put the strike commemoration on the calendar website.
This inability and/or refusal to cover this strike commemoration with significant and serious coverage shows the real nature of this management. While it can spend a lot of efforts on new locks on the station and is quite willing to call the cops on the staff they are unwilling to cover struggles that took place 40 years ago and were supported by the same station.
Even KQED and the major tv and news media took the strike seriously and did coverage of it.
This non-coverage by KPFA in it's main daily programs with the exception of Flashpoints is a statement of the real character of this management and the "concerned listeners" grouping which backs this crew.
