[Kzyxtalk] Bottom Line

[David]

It's always interesting to read what a self-righteous blow-hard like bb has
to say. She doesn't know me yet she casually throws insults around, and the
administrator of this list doesn't admonish her or remove her from the list.
The unconscionable epithets she regularly includes in her angry and
dishonest screeds, which often get forwarded by her fans, have no place in
any discussion of KZYX or the individuals.  And the lack of any response to
the trash-talk from Liz-who the email below was directed to-the lack of any
comment from Liz is sad. Those people who encourage bb by their words or
their silence should think about the hate-speech she spews.

"Esteemed KZ's"?   Are you kidding?
Why are you cowering, Liz?
Why aren't you exerting some seniority?  
There is no bottom line here. No means to designate contributions. No
oversight of any money spent. The last splurge went not into a proficient,
competent news department as promised, but into staff salaries so fractured
in the paperwork no member or  programer  knows who is making what.  
Steffen is a pig. Coate is paranoid. Mary is an alcoholic.  The president of
the KZYX Board of Directors lives off of monies made manufacturing gadgets
for nuclear reactor plants. And she represents the so-called 5th District on
the Board. 
Kisslinger never learned how to edit a phone interview, so he doesn't do
any. He reads the Press Democrat over the air and gets paid for that. The
less skill you have, the more money you get at KZYX. 
Shit happens and it is time the programmers stepped in and cleaned up the
shop. There are a hundred of you. Most of the local programming is
excellent. Why aren't you stepping in to stop the bleeding of membership
monies.  400 + Mendocino County locals, many if not most of them have
transferred their pledge dollars to KMUD.  (Could one reason be: the
physician who hosts the medical show admits he doesn't know how to pronounce
'Cannabinoids' and proceeds to dis cannabis farmers the few times the
subject comes up on his show--reflecting the staff's prejudices. 
It is very much the time for local programmers to resist the direction of
this staff.  When is enough, enough for you as a programmer to intervene.
If you can't organize--unionize even--then start talking about showing up
enmass at the next Board Meeting to air your trepidations. You are not
listening to enough Sweet Honey on the Rock.  --beth bosk

Esteemed & treasured KZ's,

To quote that roots reggae band Third World: One Cold Vibe Couldn't Stop Dis
Ya Boogie.
To quote Norman de Vall:

Democracy has never been easy and right now KZYX is secretive, lacks
transparency and 
lacks democratic principles and policies.
But that is not a reason to risk losing it.
This is not the time to either strike or boycott.
Now is the time to contribute for change.

My musings, as a music programmer waiting my turn at pledge driving Thur
afternoon, are:

 

Bottom line,  our community needs to keep the KZYX signal on air despite our
differences. It is essential to support the pledge drive, i.e tune in,
subscribe, re-up membership, kick down challenges, urge our friends to do
likewise, etc. Stay connected, keep talking to each other. Courteous
discourse is the key. Patience is grace. 

Publicity of any stripe at least keeps folks focusing on the subject.

Criticism presented in a civil matter is not to be feared & can be helpful.
It's easier & more dramatic, alas, to tear down than to create a complex
structure. 

Just sayin',

Liz
