Why is KPFA promoting Israel-supporter Rachel Maddow?

In late December 2008, while the Zionist state was massacring Palestinians in Gaza from the air and getting ready for a ground invasion of that open-air prison camp, Rachel Maddow began he reporting on it with a 4-minute capsule 'history' of the 'Arab-Israeli conflict' that could have been lifted from almost any Zionist propaganda piece.

Maddpw is most blatantly pro-imperialist in her journalistic support, via lies and half-truths, for the racist 'Jewish State':

But she is also, as is made clear in her promotional talks for her new book, a supporter of U.S. military power. She just wants it to be smarter and more selective, so as not to financially destroy its own material base.

§Picket Line and Leaflet Urgently Needed at this Event

A picket line with an informational leaflet denouncing this warmongering Zionist should greet the attendees to this blood money event which KPFA should never have consented to. The leaflet should state that we support KPFA but not the Zionist warmongering politics of Maddow. This is clearly a promotional by the government operation majority of the Local Station Board, known as SaveKPFA.

We can only wonder what former Communist Party members Margy Wilkinson, Conn and Matthew Hallinan and Jack Kurzweil as well as Malcolm Burnstein, attorney for a now non-existent Communist Party law firm, Walker, Truehaft and Burnstein, have to say to support such a reactionary mouthpiece of the capitalist class being associated with KPFA. These are all proud members of the SaveKPFA gang who must be defeated in September 2012 and September 2013. The leading light of this government operation is Larry Bensky, a former KPFA programmer and former editor of the CIA publication, Paris Review. Here is more on Larry Bensky:
