Thanks for letting us know about this-- you have good "radar" as to local stuff that's worth noting!<br /><br />Just
an observation though, about how KDRT can be infuriating. I've counted
four distinct times, now, that they've run an episode of DemocracyNow
that isn't the current day's edition.. and I made note of these
otherwise-unexciting events because they so happened to contain
especially controversial subject matter on those particular days. (I
listen on KDVS or KPFA or KVMR often, but sometimes it's more convenient
when KDRT plays it.) This to me has been enough data points to suggest
there's someone "spiking" said episodes, as the common element is that
each time the Authorities' wrongdoing was called out in explicit
terms.. be it some cops or U.S. foreign policy, as was the case this
last notable time. I'm sure if you called to complain they'd cite
"technical difficulties".. yeah, I bet they run Microsoft crap so
surely they have some weaknesses, but surely they'd just be using this
as a cowardly excuse. Take note of the most recent censored (IMO)
topic, and share with friends who may've missed it:<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.democracynow.org/2015/11/19/glenn_greenwald_on_submissive_medias_drumbeat">http://www.democracynow.org/2015/11/19/glenn_greenwald_on_submissive_medias_drumbeat</a><br /><br />"..
as far as who has blood on their hands, there’s zero evidence that the
attackers used encryption or anything else that was revealed as a result
of Edward Snowden, but there’s lots of evidence that the CIA utterly
failed in their mission and that the U.S. government has done all sorts
of things unwittingly to strengthen ISIS. And so, I think if you want to
talk about who has blood on their hands, personally, I would look first
to ISIS, the people who actually shot those people in the Paris
streets. It’s really weird. Usually after a terrorist attack, nobody is
allowed to suggest that anybody has blame other than the terrorists
themselves. But for some reason, in this case, leading establishment
figures and journalists feel free to go around detracting—distracting
attention from ISIS and saying, "No, it’s not ISIS that has blood on
their hands, it’s Edward Snowden." For some reason, that’s now allowed.
So, if that’s what we’re doing, if that’s the game we’re playing, I
would look to the U.S. government first, because they failed to find the
plot despite huge amounts of money and unlimited power to do so, and
because they’ve done all sorts of things to strengthen the group that
apparently bears responsibility for this attack."<br /> -- Glenn G. being interviewed<br /><br /><br />Merry Xmas! </body>
