[lbo-talk] WBAI scores with holocaust denalist's premium

[Joseph Wanzala]

Yes, there should be no limits - other than across the board journalistic 
standards. As I was telling Doug, KPFA may not have had the KKK or David 
Duke (you need not cite such extreme examples), but KPFA did have the John 
Birch Society and Edward Teller on the air (in more tolerant times 
apparently). Are you aware of the station's history?
