Radio, radio.

I wanted to call out this James Rainey column in the LAT, about LA’s Pacifica affiliate, KPFK, and the infighting there.

There’s two money quotes in this piece, both of them talking about early evening host Ian Masters:

He also has been outspoken in rejecting KPFK programming, and especially fundraising, that he sees as increasingly taken over by fear-mongering and conspiracy theories, like the 9/11 “truther” movement. In a speech a few months ago at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, Masters derided fund drives that he said recommend “communing with extraterrestrials and munching mung beans and colonic irrigation and drinking liquid silver and not immunizing your kids is the way to a more sustainable and spiritual Pacifica.”

The other quote:

“It seems to me,” one member of the vanguard wrote last year, “that Ian Masters does not believe the United States is really that bad.”
