I don't think I have heard anything like that during a Pacifica new cast.
WMBR used to run Pacifica Radio News four nights a week and they never said
"Call Congress and keep Clarence Thomas off the Supreme Court." Please.
Pacifica and to a lesser extent the Phoenix are liberal on what they choose
to cover and write about, just as Fox News programming does, to some extent.
