He's a troll on our kzyxtalk liserv site. He's nobody, and his shows suck. </p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Meanwhile, your shows rock, Marco. They really and truly rock. I'm a listener and a fan. You do 3-4-5 hours of programming at a stretch...show that are, by turns, informative and entertaining.</p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">And my team and I do great radio here at KMEC. See our whistleblower series on the NSA Surveillance State:<br> <br>The CIA's Ray McGovern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGayl9uNW4A<br> <br>The NSA's Bill Binney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3tG_yJIrW0<br> <br>The FBI's Coleen Rowley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNDLqHblZjo<br> <br>The NSA's Tom Drake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HjYfG4mYEE<br> <br>We post our shows to Youtube with text and video. We also post our shows to NPR's Public Radio Exchange and Pacifica's Radio4All for the widest possible distribution. </p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Our shows are also archived at the station and available as podcasts. Some of of shows have been downloaded more than 7,000 times. </p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Meanwhile, I doubt Tim Gregory's own mother would download her son's shows. Rambling. Incoherent. And just plain stupid.</p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">And oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that our show here at KMEC is a finalist for a $211,000 grant at a major foundation.</p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Best to you, my radio friend and colleague,</p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">John</p></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Marco McClean" <memo@mcn.org><br><b>To: </b>"kzyxtalk" <kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org><br><b>Cc: </b>editor@theava.com<br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, September 9, 2015 5:07:21 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Kzyxtalk] Stuart Campbell's power grab.<br><div><br></div>Tim Gregory wrote, in response to a post by John Sakowicz:<br> > you poked the tarbaby, jane. this how he keeps his bullshit <br>coming...promotes his<br> > 'show'...obtains revenge...knocks china off the shelf...<br> > who plays gets played.<br><div><br></div> Tim, you're going to need a bigger screen to fit all that <br>projection onto.<br><div><br></div> In real life, John Sakowicz consistently produces a better, more <br>informative and more interesting show than you do. So do I, and so do <br>lots of people who've been banned from KZYX --several of us have died of <br>cancer and old age and so on --that's how long this has been going on-- <br>and you keep getting to fill hours of airtime there with your dronelike <br>somnambulistic platitudinous mumbletry, and better airpeople are <br>permanently marginalized and shut out not only from doing shows but also <br>from any possibility of influencing the decisionmaking process there. <br>Stuart Campbell used his last days of power on the board to stack the <br>(powerless Potemkin) committees with his like-minded cronies, and then <br>he got himself appointed general manager of the gravy train. John <br>Sakowicz points this out, and you call bullshit on John Sakowicz?<br><div><br></div> I don't know if you ever saw the animated film /Wizards/ by Ralph <br>Bakshi (R.I.P.). It had a character who I think of whenever I read <br>something by an insider at KZYX saying something like what you always <br>say when you stick up for KZYX' classically paranoid, tyrannical, <br>greedy, conniving, false-faced Nice People management.<br><div><br></div> The character is Larry, a toady, rather a talking lizard, but a <br>toady in the sense of an obsequious underling, a slavish creature. His <br>master bats him around and treats him poorly, and so far from thinking <br>well of him thinks nothing of him at all, but /lets him stay in the <br>castle and nibble at the cast off food there/, so he knows which side <br>his bread is buttered on, as they say. As /he/ says, sounding like a <br>lizard version of Peter Lorre, "Masther loves Larry! Masther /feeds/ Larry!"<br><div><br></div> Tim, I'm trying to get you paid with real-life money for your work, <br>such as it is. John Sakowicz is trying to, among other things, get you <br>paid for your work. But your corporate masters want to keep all the <br>money for themselves. Pull your face out of the bong and focus on that <br>for a moment.<br><div><br></div> There will come an opportunity, a turning point for you, as there <br>does for Larry at the end of the film, to recognize your true situation <br>and finally withhold a piece of crucial support from your masters. When <br>that happens, I hope you make the same informed grownup human decision <br>Larry makes.<br><div><br></div>------<br>Marco McClean<br>memo@mcn.org<br>http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com<br><div><br></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Kzyxtalk mailing list<br>Kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org<br>http://lists.mcn.org/mailman/listinfo/kzyxtalk<br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
