KPFA Interim Program Director Sasha Lilley's hand picked host for replacing Larry Bensky is now in a contest for who is telling the truth about the firing of Peter Laufer. Lilley who supported the derecognition of the unpaid staff apparently doesn't have much time for the staff at the station. Laufer was let go without notice and in a phone call while he was in New York. So much for station integrity. Concerned Listeners should be concerned about how one of their "leaders" treats the staff...

Friday, November 30, 2007 : Sister Bernie Galvin of Religious Witness for Homeless People didn’t expect her meeting with the San Francisco Chronicle’s Editorial Board to become another C.W. Nevius hit-piece. But that’s what happened on the front page of yesterday’s Bay Area edition – as the ex-sports writer used the meeting with Galvin and other religious leaders as an excuse to continue peddling his mean-spirited attacks....

The Pacifica national election supervisor Casey Peters has banned Larry Bensky from the airwaves until his term ends in 2008. Bensky's violation of using KFPA equipment/lists to support the Concerned Listeners Group is only one of many examples by the management and entrenched staff who support management and used the stations resources to support the candidates of Concerned Listeners CL. The question now is whether CL supporter and interim manager Lemlme Rijio will follow the order or ignore...

Friday, November 16, 2007 : Since launching Beyond Chron in April 2004, I typically get positive feedback when bashing Republicans, corporate interests or Mayor Newsom, but often disagreement and even outright hostility for questioning progressive persons or causes. Many appear to reject the notion that progressives benefit from open debate around tactics or strategies, and believe Beyond Chron should consistently boost activists even when they make mistakes or are pursuing a questionable cou...

In lieu of any substantive discussion of how KPFA can better fulfill its mission, they engage in name-calling (repeatedly referring to myself and their opponents as “the dismantlers"), launch petty attacks on the character of KPFA staff and boardmembers (“They only want your money, not your thoughts and input on how to improve the station”), and propose a paranoid conspiracy theory that puts me at the center of a plot to destroy KPFA’s elected board....

On the weekly Questioning War- Organizing Resistance Radio Show, David Mathison and Eduardo Cohen will be discussing how the media sells war and how we need to BE THE MEDIA. Emerging technologies, the ever increasingly self serving lies of those wishing to cling to power are the impetus driving people to invent and reclaim public space, bypassing the corporate gatekeepers in pursuit of truth, peace, justice....
