As one of the left gatekeepers who has been consistently ignoring the substantial evidence against the theory that the "collapse" of the WTC on 9/11/01 (which was the cause of the sudden scarcity of radio transmitters in the NYC area that ultimately led to WBAI's current financial predicament) was caused by foreign terrorists, Amy Goodman owes Pacifica a lot more than Pacifica owes Amy Goodman, in my book... http://911review.com/denial/gatekeepers.html

An alliance with MNN is also a way forward. Unfortunate that the Pacifica board refuses to entertain the proposal. Thinking conspiracies perhaps because they have their hands out for some of the $50m from the sale of the middle of the dial (99.5). They have banned, censored, any on air discussion of the proposal! Just as discussion of the Xmas coup is banned.
