[Kzyxtalk] marco vote of no confidence.

[Clark Fish]

Tim,

I guess that means that you did get your ballot??

I might add, I don't HATE anyone or anything that I haven't met or tried
personally first, which means I DON'T hate Stuart, Mary or John, though I
am NOT at all satisfied with the way the station has opted for the NPR
programming over better LOCAL coverage like Christine Aanestad used to be
so good at before she was canned, or Richard Millers program, or Norman
Devalls Access program and even Doug McKentys Open Lines that he was so
GOOD at!! And John Sakowicz, despite his  eccentricities, is an ACE
interviewer, something that cannot be said about ANYONE else reporting for
KZYX right now, unless for some reason you count Amy Goodman.   And I DO
know and HAVE talked with the people above who Mary has canned over the
years. And while I liked some of the shows and not others, the common theme
is that Mary Aigner canned them because she didn't like their
viewpoints…that is NOT public radio as it should be where ONE person
controls access to programming despite their being legally binding (though
sometimes disappearing)  bylaws that provide for the CAB to help select
programming.  All that being said,  I probably wouldn't even bother having
an opinion about it if I could hear KMUD where I live.
But I can't and KZYX is SUPPOSED to be a non profit, community radio
station, NOT some sort of jobs program for a few staffers. So, I DON"T hate
it, but I DON'T like it either..it's just too BORING to be good radio!!!

Best Regards,
Clark
