Who saw
Bruce Maiman's oped in today's Sacramento Bee?
.
In it, he
defends a radio station which was found liable for the death of Jennifer
Strange, a 28 year old mother of three children, directly caused by a reckless
water drinking contest. He believes KDND should retain its license to
broadcast, and calls our effort to deny the renewal of KDND's license
"bovinum excrementum." Worse, he
questions our real "agenda."
.
Our agenda
is clear: we are holding both the reckless broadcaster and the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) accountable to public interest
obligations. The FCC is tasked with regulating all broadcasters to ensure
they serve the public interest in their communities. But too frequently, the
FCC favors the corporations they are supposed to be regulating and ignores the
public they're tasked to protect.

Maiman mentions Sue Wilson's award winning documentary "Broadcast Blues," but it's out of context. He obviously hasn't actually seen the film.
