<font face="Calibri">I'm very sorry to to hear we missed Vandana Shiva
last week. We need to hear as many wise women's (and men's too)
words of wisdom at this precarious time on planet Earth as we can!
And, we need as many deeply commited and wise women as programmers on
KZYX as well. We are in for a rough ride, and need all the
inspiration and good guidance we can muster. </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Calibri">I for one, have lobbied for the
return of WINGS - -Women's International News Gathering Service.
Another free program with news from women around the world and their
actions against imperialism in its many forms, that slipped away
from our airwaves somehow. I'm also missing New
Dimensions . .a view shared by a number of people who have approached me
recently, wondering what happened to it. A number of them had written
letters to the station. I'm not always crazy about it, but I think it
is a good contrast to other programming, especially for older people--and
our county has a large number of "those folks." It was nice to hear
on Sunday nights . . . I hear it now on Saturday morning on KMUD . . . .

</font><div><font face="Calibri"><font>And the stuff that happened to Christina,
who is a wonderfully talented young woman reporter--was awful. For
her and for the rest of us who appreciated her, who were astounded by her
being dismissed, because we liked her very clear work. Finally, someone
who could almost replace Annie. There were many people in the
community that were furious about that happening--and for what
reason??? I attended meetings--maybe you did too and the people who
were upset about Christina being dismissed were treated like third
class citizens, rather than the educated, caring people they were
<em>who might have a point</em>. I was offended by having my
thoughtful views so rudely dismissed. </font></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"></font><font face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Calibri">And, I hear people in this
instant saying what they are
unhappy about-- and they are simply discounted by the "powers that
be." Instead, everybody is so damned defensive. What happened
to listening to what folks are saying (providing it is reasonable, of
course) and being respectful, and considering that they might
have a point. What if we lived in a world where concensus had to be
reached!! Like some indian tribes do . . . </font></div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div><font face="Calibri">I hope there is someway we can all
come together, for all of us. We are <u>all </u>needed to
support our precious and important gift, KZYX. It has been at the
heart of important activism through the years, for the country, and it will be
needed in the times ahead. We are looking at the Navy testing and
conducting war games off our coast,- knowing they will cause great suffering
and death to our precious whales and dolphins and other sea
creatures. Then there is Fracking . . . and drilling for oil, and how
many other issues that haven't even emerged yet, in the fast moving drama
we find ourselves in. </font></div>

<div><font face="Calibri">May it be so!</font></div>

Replacing Media Matters <br><br>Why did KZYX replace the excellent Fair and
Accuracy in Reporting program with Media Matters pap? Also, why cut David
Barsiamians Alternative Radio? He offers this fine program at no cost to
broadcasting stations. We missed a remarkable interview with Vandana Shiva last
week. Luckily we can still catch his program on KMUD.
