Several weeks ago a few kooks were allowed to monopolize a weekend of airtime on KPFK in a paternalistic and insulting project to "educate" African Americans. The self-proclaimed leaders (who don't seem to have any followers) used the occasion to broadcast viciously homophobic and anti-semitic material; they also took a few swipes at feminism. By anti-semitic I do not mean anti-zionist; I mean full-blown Nazi-like stuff. The homophobic sleaze would have put Michael Savage to shame. Why did our allegedly progressive radio station broadcast slurs that even MSNBC had declared intolerable.

The station's dictatorial manager, Eva Georgia, who lacks even the most basic social skills in her dealings with others, has refused to answer people who have written in to complain. Apparently she sees herself as a monarch who has no need to answer missives from serfs. Don't let the KPFK management get away with this - get on their website and use the contact feature to demand answers.
