Right-wing control of corporate media and the need for community radio

Claire Connor has described her political journey in Wrapped in the Flag: A Personal History of America's Radical Right.  In Portland on a speaking tour, Old Mole contributor Paul Roland talked with her about the right wing's domination of the corporate media and the rise of community radio like KBOO to counteract it.  

This piece concludes with words from Elvis Costello about the control of commercial radio by "fools" and a request to you to vote in the upcoming KBOO  board election.  Details are on this page.
