Recently watched and listened as long time Pacifica listeners actually tuned in to Air America for the first time.  They were shocked at how gutsy and on the attack it was, not to mention how professional the quality was in contrast to dead air time Pacifica.  Now, I don't know how gutsy it is to mention that the emperor has no clothes in just those words.  But most of the Pacifica shows I have heard in the last many years have just taken for granted that all the listeners already know all that basic stuff, and now need to hear  about how revolutionary it is to drink your own pee or about how just knowing that flying saucers are real will change the world. There are so many people out there right now who are canvassing, calling and doing other one-on-one actions related to the election.  It will be interesting to see how these newly mobilized people are used after the election, if they are still there at all. Steve G</blockquote> GAWD. I just don't get it. WMNF is not plagued by this horseshit. What is it with the audiences? Is it just that, in this area, we are so desperate for anything vaguely left of center, we aren't (yet?) hankering for this "sophisticated" stuff, or what? Hell, even the woman who does the alt med show actually talks about eating meat since she knows that not every lefty on the planet is a vegan or vegetarian. Kelley</body> </html>
