Marc Cooper gets lots of hell from the FreePacifica people - two of them photographed him on the streets of Seattle, rather sinister looking both of them - but he (& his excellent producer Mark Torres) puts together a fine radio show with serious politics. If there were more of that on Pacifica, it'd be a lot better.
