Sounds like WBAI's days are numbered. In tough times like these, a
marginal independent media outlet can't afford to piss off and
alienate its core supporters.

Facts don't count? Does somebody want to emulate Fox News? OK, so
maybe the Fox News demographic includes many nursing home residents
with accumulated wealth, but they are more interested in hating that
uppity black president than they are in "chemtrails."

These clueless WBAI volunteers must have friends and family who can
reason with them.
