Ruth Seymour Retiring fromKCRW
November 18, 2009
The ageless doyenne of ever politically-correct KCRW-FM is stepping down. (Even the LA Times can&;t find or won&;t dare print her age.)
And somewhere Sandra Tsing Loh is singing &;Ding dong the witch is dead.&;

KCRW Broadcasts ObscenityAgain
October 8, 2009
At 9:17AM today, Thursday, October 8, 2009, during the &;Morning Becomes Eclectic&;, KCRW 89.9FM broadcast a rap song with the word &;Motherfucker&; proudly unbleeped. Jason Bentley I believe identified it as Clint Eastwood by Guerrillaz
The arrogance from a national public radio station holding a government license is unbelievable. This is the second time within four months KCRW has broadcast an obscenity during daytime hours when children could be listening. Artist Ed Moses said &;Bullshit&; on a &;Politics of Culture&; show, no doubt waking up the somnolent crowd.
This time, I filed a complaint with the FCC. I haven&;t subscribed in two years because of this, but it is time for longtime station manager Ruth Seymour to go.

KCRW Broadcasts Word&;Bullshit&;
June 10, 2009
The usually profoundly boring &;The Politics of Culture&; on KCRW got a lot more interesting today, as artist Ed Moses used the word &;bullshit&; in response to a question posed by the indecipherable Edward Goldman and station queen/dragon lady Ruth Seymour. &;I used to say 98% of everything is bullshit,&; was his exact, on-air quote, which KCRW seemed to like so much that they podcast it unedited.
The irony, of course, is that Sandra Tsing Lo got fired for saying a magic word, possibly threatening the station&;s license with the wrath of the FCC, according to mama Ruth. Perhaps Seymour should have fired herself?

KCRW Invites Anti-Semite to ObamaDiscussion
July 11, 2008
On July 11&;s &;Which Way LA?&; host Warren Olney invited Amiri Baraka as one of the talking heads to comment on Jesse Jackson&;s &;cut his nuts off&; comments about Barack Obama.
Olney identified Baraka (formerly Leroi Jones) as a &;poet and playwright.&; He failed to identify Baraka as one of America&;s most outspoken anti-Semites who in fact lost his title as Poet Laureate of New Jersey over his poem which claimed Jews were warned about the attack on the World Trade Center.
The irony of such a man being invited being invited to comment on the odious comments of Jackson, another anti-Semite boggles the mind&;and unfortunately fuels the suspicions of what many think is the &;liberal media.&;
