And here is Mark Bevis' note in response to a mail sent to PNN. Note that Bevis is "acting producer" since Coughlin's "re-assignment" and also note that one of the things I find so endearing about him is the way he refers to the PRC is as "communist China", a locution I am more accustomed to hearing from Rush Limbaugh than I am from a purportedly progressive newscast. Even the Dan, Peter, Tom crew don't drag out this tired old whore anymore.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. DATE NOVEMBER 5, 1999
WE (80% OF THE STAFF AT PACIFICA NETWORK NEWS) HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS OVER THE EFFORT TO REINSTATE DAN COUGHLIN AS PRODUCER OF PNN.
ALTHOUGH OUR REASONS ARE DIVERSE, THEY GO FAR BEYOND THE CONFLICT TAKING PLACE AT PACIFICA STATION KPFA IN BERKELEY.
INTERFERENCE IN OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS IS NOT WELCOME
