Secret of My Access!

When I posted my blogs last month, someone who perused them commented on how impressed he was that I am so well informed.  Well, I have a secret.  It's called KPFK and it is a tiny, Pacifica radio station in Los Angeles with a highly diverse format which broadcasts worldwide.  KPFK was the  first to tell me what was happening in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Wisconsin and Ohio.  They were the first to tell me about the film "Fahrenheit 911" and "Inside Job." They are not just the first, but they are among the very few who deliver vital information without first filtering through a gang of corporate censors...

KPFK is largely funded by listeners (they get a small grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting) and because of that, they have to fund drive three to four times a year.  They are in  Fund Drive now.  If you regularly read this blog (wouldn't that be nice), you've already heard me rave about the station.

I rave because to quote an earlier blog, "If it weren't for KPFK, I don't know where I could go to hear world news in the morning, world music in the afternoon and worldly thoughts at night; I don't know where I could hear health information not sponsored by drug, insurance and processed food companies, economic information not sponsored by banks, environmental information not sponsored by oil, car and chemical companies, or war coverage not sponsored by those benefiting from war."  

If you live or travel outside KPFK's the listening area (90.7 FM ~ Los Angeles), you can always listen online at kpfk.org.   Help me support KPFK in any way you can.  They need volunteers all of the time, but especially during and after the fund drive...  money too!
