I don't like to see any radio station being closed, but quite honestly
I won't miss RFPI all that much. It was good to listen to when I
wanted to hear the socialist spin on world events, but quite honestly
their constant US bashing and open hostility toward conservative
politics got old real fast. Sometimes I couldn't tell if I was
listening to RFPI or Radio Havana before getting a station
identification. I have nothing against free speech, but there is
only so much left wing propaganda I can take.

This situation certainly does not look good for RFPI. I don¹t understand
their argument about free speech being a reason for them to stay. The
problem is property usage. They are there under a lease agreement with
the University of Costa Rica and the current administration wants that
lease to end. They will have to go.

I heard RFPI's update on the situation. James Latham is still using the
"censorship" claim without any evidence, presumably even after he's had time
to cool off. Censorship? How is this different from an everyday eviction
in which the tenant hasn't paid the rent, or is a pain in the ass or the
property owner simply has different plans for the property?

He wants us to send him money for lawyers. I suppose contributors would be
interested in the facts of the dispute, even if it's only from one side.

They did list the wonderful achievements and trivia of RFPI. Mostly it was
a reading of when particular programs were first broadcast. Perhaps their
lawyers will come up with a more convincing case before the court date.
