The article focuses on the Pacifica radio network, which consists of stations in various U.S. states. For the past five years the core mandate of Pacifica has been under attack by establishment liberals. Pacifica's bosses have imposed gags, brought in unionbusters and jimmied the rules so its governing body of fourteen can preside over the 200-300 million dollars in Pacifica assets without accountability. Pacifica is operated like a prison in which the directorate levies ever-thickening slabs of money from member stations, most particularly WBAI in New York and KPFA in Berkeley; issues hire-and-fire commands; stipulates silence and obedience.
