Brad on Pacifica Radio / KPFK Tonight!

Share article:

Well, that was fun. Just finished up the interview on the Pacifica Network’s LA/Santa Barbara affilliate KPFK with host Jerry Quickley about blogging the whole story of the Election 2004/Voting Irregularity, Fraud, Mistabulation mess.

A fairly wide ranging conversation about how the blogs have played a key part in the story, the nap the mainstream media is largely taking, and how important it is that bloggers (aka CITIZENS!) are willing to examine what the corporate media, by and large, is apparently afraid to touch until the actual smoking gun shows up in their lap for them.

Quickley, by the way, is a madman. He also rocks. I look forward to doing it again soon.

I was able to nab the live stream from KPFK’s site, so listen if ya like. About 17 minutes in your choice of 3 deliciously flavored formats:

God save Public Radio.

    Hi there, Brad…

    I enjoyed hearing your perspective on things last evening on KPFK… which has only recently begun to crackle its way through the right-wing, Smear Channel nonsense up here in the Theocratic Republic of the High Desert.

    Blogs are a new web-wrinkle to me, and I hope your efforts make a difference with political decision-makers. They’re not going to change the press-release "journalism" of the corporate media, however. To them "news" is just whatever topical but non-controversial pablum that they can shoehorn in between commercials.

    Cheers!

    Okay, you were great Brad, but the sorry Mr. Quickley demonstrates once again the very sad state of affairs that absolutely must support a save from God for Public Radio.

    Most of the hosts who are fortunate enough to have a show, seem to think that THEY are the show.

    Gah! They overtalk, they step on great points, they obliterate everything, in order to … feed ego?

    My point is, they miss the point. Their GUESTS are the SHOW!! Hello?? As a listener I am repulsed to continue listening many times, thereby missing those valuable bill-paying COMMERCIAL breaks that still find their way into Public radio… because there is not enough Public in radio to pay, by the way.

    America is upside down and sinking, despite our best efforts to remain floating in the oceanic wake called Greed and Special Interest, even as it comes to the Public Radio airwaves.

    Will we right the ship in time? There are so many tips of iceburgs in the waters today, I wonder if we can melt them all before we really do sink.

    While I can see Steve’s point, I think we have to take what we can get, and keep it, and work towards taking more. Brad, if I was your agent, I would definitely be trying to get you your own radio show.
