Marc Cooper, in "Pacifica on the Brink" argues that Pacifica's crisis has spiraled out of control thanks to the actions of both sides in the dispute, with the KPFA takeover finally triggered by one obstreperous programmer. On July 13, San Francisco's Media Alliance called a press conference to announce that it had obtained a copy of an e-mail from Pacifica board member Michael Palmer to board chairwoman Mary Frances Berry discussing the possible sale of KPFA or New York's WBAI. It was also announced that several dozen notables, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Alice Walker. had recorded commentaries protesting Pacifica's hostile takeover of KPFA and that a lawsuit would be filed against Pacifica.
