Station staff appeared on “Democracy? No!” today to discuss the shooting and raise hysteria about some phantom KKK-like menace...

There is nothing at all to indicate that this was from “the Right” (as if KKK are “Right”) and there was NO discussion of earlier arson fires at the station.

They played some “recreation” tapes of the KKK bombing of the transmitter in 1970s (complete with explosion sounds but since there is no microphone AT the transmitter, I think you’d just hear the signal dropping off, not a “boom” and rattle...).

They did discuss the shell that was found and said it is the type “used in AK-47s”.

Intellectually dishonesty abounds on Amy Goodman’s radio show.

“Good news” is that you can play just this segment by clicking the above link.

Years ago I saw a news show about some shootings in IIRC Los Angeles. They showed a brass that the cop identified as coming from an AK-47. You can imagine my surprise to learn that the AK-47 is chambered for .300 Savage, because the brass had that stamped on the bottom.

I don't know if the cop was that ignorent or just playing with the reporters. I might tell a reporter the same, but not on camera.
