  • A few more notes on the ever-embattled Pacifica Network:
    Current Magazine features an article on the so-called “Christmas Coup” at Pacifica’s NYC station WBAI. A choice quote from the article: [new station manager] “Leid has gone on WBAI’s air since her appointment, answering listeners’ questions about the situation, and has repeatedly blamed the three firings on actions of a “Svengali” in the station.” This quote comes under the heading “Blaming Amy Goodman?” (Thanks go to WEFT station manager Mick Woolf for bringing this article to my attention.)

    At their special meeting regarding Pacifica held on Feb. 1, the WEFT Associates–the body made up of the station’s volunteers–made a resolution in support of those fired from WBAI in the Christmas Coup and condemning the actions of Pacifica management in the matter.
