Instead of boycotting KPFA, we should donate to the

non-commercial station and try to influence its programming. As

for this particular program, the producer is the only one

responsible and one should give her feedback and suggestions.

The station has no control over the content, and that's why we

need to support these independent media that are not bought by

the corporations. -Mango Martin
