The interview Wim de Vriend, author of The JOB Messiahs aired in February on KBBR and can be heard here on the second hour
McKelvey informs me that KBBR is the only progressive station left in Oregon and is now live streaming all programs that include “popular syndicated programming from Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Leslie Marshall, and Alan Colmes. Weekend programming includes The Ring of Fire and Money Talk.
“KBBR also features two original local shows, The Mark McKelvey Show and The Wes Brown Show”.
Thanks for the kind words, Wim. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you better.
While I don’t agree with many of you prescriptions for the Port, I do think your descriptions of the problems are dead on. We do have much common ground to work from. I look forward to doing just that.
Thanks for coming on the show. I want to do it again sometime.
Themguys, I’m flattered you think I can influence MSNBC. I’ll see what I can do.
I have to ask Mark, what’s “progessive” about any of those democrat party shills on MSNBC? Not one of them will EVER offer one word of criticism of their guy obama. It’s nothing but pure propaganda, not what any thoughtful voter should be listening to to gain any insight into changing the direction of this nation. Simply the flip side of Cluster Fux. No chance of changing anything when you have two sides of one corporatist coin.
But Mark never let the truth about democrats enter his reasoning.
Hi themguys –
Realistically, I don’t think we can blame Mark for what’s being said on MSNBC or any of the rest of those national outfits. MSNBC and CNN and NBC and all those are straw men in this context.
And I have to say, Mark and I got along quite well. Of course we don’t agree on every public issue. Neither do Mary and I. But it’s nice to find common ground or, if there’s no common ground, to be at least afforded a hearing. And that, I have to give Mark credit for.
To a large extent all of us, including me, you, Mark, Mary, Obama, Bush and the rest of humanity, have opinions shaped by our personal circumstances and experiences. So we come at political and social issues from different angles. But that also means that progress has the best chance of occurring when we can have a reasonable discussion, without hostilities, about something that should concern us all: the economic fate of this area and its people.
