[Kzyxtalk] Norm de Vall dismissed by Aigner_review

[King Collins]

Here's what I've seen in the AVA, it is a somewhat mangled version of your post to the listserv. If there is something else about you or your status, I don't see it. 

I don't know that Bruce is the person in question here. It is Coate who said of your "dismissal:" There is not a shed of truth in this." That according to Doug who saw it on the KZYX Facebook page. --king

King,
I've read AVA newspaper but what was on the ava webb
site was not in ink. 

I've written to a number of folks who may have seen it,
did see it, but who cannot forward it to me.  Like many,
although an AVA subscriber, I don't know how to
open the AVA site. 

I've been asked to respond to
the question if I, or Bruce, is lying.

Until I read it I can't respond.

Can you forward me a cc?

With Thanks,
Norman

> Let me clarify the history of this thread: Originally, there was a "distrubing rumor" that Norm's show and his candidate interviews had been ended because of his criticism of the station. Norm immediately wrote to these lists and the AVA, saying that he had voluntaritly given up his Access show. De Vall confirmed, however, that it was his interviews and him as interviewer of the candidates, that has been dismissed and that the program director said that those who criticise the station will not have a mike.  John Coate on facebook says "there is not a shed of truth in this" and "it depends on what the meaning of the word is is."   --king collins, more at www.greenmac.com and KZYXtalk
