Richard Mullenax is a hypocrytical liar.
I would point out to the peripatetic Mr. Mullenax that contrary to
his rabid
assertions, Air America didn't steal anything from anyone. Air
America has
contracted with Inner City Broadcasting, the owner of WLIB (run, by
the way,
by Pierre and Percy Sutton, African-Americans both) to lease WLIB.
Inner City
has been losing money on its full-time Carribean programming, and
now has an
opportunity to make a profitable deal, while at the same time
providing a
public service to the community of New York, with wide-ranging,
informative
and entertaining programming. Do black-owned radio stations not have
the
right to make a profit? Would Mr. Mullenax restrict what Inner City
may do
with its own property? Or is his problem with the deal more related
to the
nature of the public service being provided by Air America --
providing a
counter to the ubiquitous hail of right-wing hate radio?
I guess the simple question, shorn of all the rhetoric, is whether Air
America replaced programming by the Coalition of Artists and
Activists or not. Did they (i.e., is Air America now where this
programming was previously)?
I also find this rather confusing. You refer to wide-ranging,
informative and entertaining programming. But I thought we were
talking about Air America?
