Matthew Lasar's comments on WBAI Behind The News
come out critical of the current trends at Pacifica.
Listener democracy is expensive, distracting
and misguided. It may lead to takeovers and divisions.Lew Hill distrusted democracy as much as corporatism.
Now Pacifica is misled into both.
This is a partial but undedited segment from 7/9/2009
issue of Behind The News. For complete program, go
to archive.wbai.org
Matthew Lasar is the author of:
Pacifica Radio: The Rise of and Alternative Network
Uneasy Listening: Pacifica Radios Civil War
Many consider him the historian of Pacifica Radio.
