The sad truth, as I've written a few too many times already, is that the current crew that runs the network and the local station are a small group of zealots who make FEMA look like FedEx. They took over the network in late 2001 after a successful campaign of harassment and intimidation of the prior management who couldn't take any more simply stepped down....

I don't want to be too self-righteous or self-serving here, but I quit the station (as a paid daily afternoon host) exactly one day after the ding-a-ling crew took over and fired [Mark] Schubb. It was immediately apparent what they were about and I had no intention of continuing my association with them, nor raising money for them...Everyday since then has been a Good Day for me -- the farther away I am from that madness, the better as our worst predictions immediately came to pass. The quality of the programming -- intellectually and technically--went into immediate freefall.
