[Kzyxtalk] Kzyxtalk Digest, Vol 4, Issue 23

[doug mckenty]

I most definitely agree that Mr. Sacowitz is a drama-king and I cannot
understand why many around KZYX work hard to manufacture conflict.
 Everybody is tired of it and it accomplishes nothing.

I continue to "back" him because I believe some of the issues presented in
his letter to the FCC have merit.  I have been concerned for some time that
there is not enough community involvement or transparency in the
programming decision making process and, like John S., am a proponent of
the implementation of the PAC, and committee system, systems designed to
include minority voices.  It is our belief that these changes would bring
new members and contribute diversity to the station.  I back him, because
he backs the PAC.

I will confess, sometimes it is hard being John Sacowitz's friend.  He
seems to arouse controversy wherever he goes.  Despite his tendency toward
overreaction, I believe his intentions are honorable even when some
of his actions are hard to understand.

We need to get past these conflicts.  They are easy to get sucked into and
accomplish nothing.  That includes you Beth.  I don't think we need to go
the King/tribunal route but we should keep it civil.

Doug
