9-11 Truthers make Pacifica a Laughingstock

The Nation has pointed out that Pacifica Board Rep Chris Condon and those with him have 'no clothes' when they passed an amendment expressing the suspicion that Amy Goodman may be taking money from the CIA in return for not covering 9-11 the way Codon expects.

It is a sad irony that Condon seeks to exert pressure on Democracy Now while maintaining that he is looking for transparency.

As the article states "As anyone who has listened to even five minutes of the program knows, Goodman is about as likely to be on the payroll of the CIA as Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky. She has probably devoted more airtime to dissecting the CIA's transgressions in the past decade than any other member of her profession."
Further it states "The suspicions about Goodman would be laughable were they not coming from board members at an independent radio network with a proud history of promoting progressive dialogue and dissent."
And in the most plainly stated summary I have ever read, states the result of the fight for Pacifica in 1999.
"The struggle was successful, but the unintended consequence was to democratize Pacifica in a way that has ended up empowering many cranks. Instead of serving as a vibrant home for incisive programming that challenges the assumptions of mainstream debate, the network has fallen into the hands of sectarians and crackpots whose control over the Governance Committee may be strong but whose hold on reality appears tenuous."
It is those 'cranks', and 'crackpots' that seem to be in control of the Pacifica National Board and pending the outcome of last week's election may be in charge of KPFA as well.
Something to consider when you hear about the election results early next week.

Shows like Guns and Butter which continue to air the debunked several times over claims of the 9-11 truthers only futher empower those who would turn Pacifica into a sort of wild eyed Fox News of the Left.
