Political activists and thoughtful leftists are the wrong kind of folks? Some months ago, I sat at a table full of people at the offices of Monthly Review, and not one listened to WBAI. I talked to some environmental activists in Berkeley and SF who don't listen to KPFA. If those are the wrong kind of folks, who are the right kind? People who suffer dark obsessions about the Vatican Bank?
