4067 [lbo-talk] the state of WBAI: a comment -- rank: 1000
A comment on my "blog" reacting to my WBAI post (I've reformatted somewhat): New comment on your post "The state of WBAI (dire)" Author : Stephen (IP: 68.174.70.174 , cpe-68-174-70-174.nyc.res.rr.com) Thanks for the letter. I briefly chaired the Community Advisory Board for WBAI. I asked the current iPD for the current broadcast guidelines and received no response, and LaVarn responded by canceling our meeting at a Bronx food coop (against CPB guidelines) and flapping her a ...

But now they're threatening the station's existence with this garbage. During a recent pitching session, one of the hosts said (according to a highly reliable friend): "Facts don't count. Facts are opinions. It's attitude that matters." Doug

Turns out the thing is printed in Belgium. There are no presses left in New York? The print industry is mostly gone. There used to be a whole printing district around Varick & Canal - priced out. I get my newsletter printed in Joisey. I don't think there are many high-quality art printers anywhere in the U.S. these days. Doug

4074 [lbo-talk] The Banality of anti-Israel Lobby Doctrine -- rank: 1000
On Aug 11, 2010, at 9:26 AM, Michael Pollak wrote: > Marv, you're projecting backwards here. The majority of State and Defense were against recognizing Israel precisely because it would endanger US interests. General Marshall, the Secretary of State, had to be talked out of resigning over it. I thought the story was that the U.S. for pol/security establishment didn't fall in love with Israel until it kicked ass in the 1967 war. Doug

4078 [lbo-talk] the state of WBAI -- rank: 1000
[This is a statement I just sent to Mitch Cohen, chair of the WBAI local station board, that will be read at tomorrow night's meeting of the board.] To Mitch Cohen and the WBAI local station board: I've been around WBAI for more than two decades. I started as a frequent interviewee on Samori Marksman's show in 1987, moved on to regular commentaries on his show a few years later, and then began doing the Thursday editions of his Behind the News in 1995. I've watched the station go through conside ...

Not really, since they'd be "special interests" in the classic sense. They're not "constitutive" of the U.S. except insofar as the U.S. is constituted of a series of interests. But if the "Israel lobby" is at the heart of things in some constitutive ...
