i can't believe i renewed

fuckin' kcrw. all the pseudo-liberal bourgeois bohemians ("bo bo's") of los angeles listen to this station thinking that it's such a haven from the corporate-controlled mainstream media. yeah, that's because they're so "independent." my ass. any station that is required to pay (and can actually afford with philanthropic, corporate and listener funding) an annual $1 million in dues to npr is anything but "independent." and now the whiny, general manager, ruth seymour (she's the heavily east-coast accented voice that forces you to subscribe to the station in order to shut her up) has fired sandra tsing loh for using the f-word. please. let's go down memory lane of the 2003 flick, "gulf war II: the damn yankees return", shall we?

was i only dreaming when i remembered listening in horror as some creaky voice came onto the air announcing propagandist BULLSHIT from the buLLshit administration to the effect of: "watch out for a short man named annan. he may be a suicide bomber, who was last spotted in florida in 2001."

(this obviously, wasn't verbatim, but it was one of those "this just in" announcements on the station).

wow. now, loh's use of "fuck" is more dangerous than this crap during a time of war? hearing this propagandist and inflammatory crap from dear kcrw isn't actually my idea of "free press," but more like state propaganda. i regret it. ironically, for a pair of tickets to see afrika bambaataa i renewed a subscription i never should have. now, there's next year. screw 'em. bleep that, now.
