The subjects of their taped segments are not typically public figures, so they do not have a dozen other outlets for their lunacy. They are, however, typical examples of supporters of the people they have on the live interviews.

If they changed their format because lost access to the big names, they'd go back to being the Craig Kilborn bore-fest, making fun of UFO spotters and conspiracy theorists instead of low-level party functionaries.

Their taped segments also don't take place before an audience and are edited. The subjects are more likely to let something terrible slip, and it is easier to highlight those slips.

TDS's taped segments are heavily edited, at times to make the subject or the interviewer seem exaggeratedly stupid. Also, it feels like some of the interviewees are coached to play along with the bit.

And if they really couldn't find any more people to come on the show to do interviews, it wouldn't be the end of the world if the self-styled comedy show was forced to replace them with another comedy segment.

I remember an interview where Jon Stewart said the whole reason they do the interviews is because the staff simply can't come up with another 5 minutes of content every day.

Basically this thread for the last dozen pages.

FMguru: Sep 10, 2003; peed on;

There's a long, hilarious, and depressing article at the LA Weekly about the collapse of the Pacifica Network, once the crown jewel of left-wing political radio, which is now a snakepit of conspiracy theorizing, alternative "medicines", and super-factional politics. An excerpt:

quote:

Pacifica has a long and storied history, and still features such leading liberals as Amy Goodman, the widely known host of Democracy Now! (on which journalists Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill are frequent guests), but it has fallen on hard times of late. Listenership, according Reese, is "extraordinarily low." During an average 15-minute period, just 700 people listen to its Los Angeles station, 90.7 FM KPFK, for at least five minutes, according to Nielsen Audio, which monitors radio ratings.

For L.A.'s other public radio stations, KCRW and KPCC, that number is 8,000 and 20,000, respectively. KPFK draws roughly one one-thousandth of all radio listeners in the Metro Los Angeles area.

Pacifica's New York station, WBAI, is even worse off, with too few listeners to register on the Arbitron rankings, and is all but bankrupt. Last year, most of the staff was laid off, including the entire news department.

Making matters worse, the federal government, via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is withholding Pacifica's grant money, thanks to the network's "failure to provide documentation" for a 2012 audit.

...

Reese accuses her enemies of plotting to cover up financial malfeasance and even embezzlement. Reese's opponents accuse her of incompetence and scheming to turn over control of the organization to Gary Null, an alternative-medicine guru and longtime Pacifica host, who sells his own vitamins and nutritional supplements during pledge drives � for which he takes a healthy cut, according to several board members and managers who spoke to the Weekly.

Reese also has been castigated for some of her fringe beliefs � her r�sum� includes stints working for the lawyer of Sirhan Sirhan, and for a man named Peymon Mottahedeh, a non-lawyer who nevertheless founded the Freedom Law School, which claims to help clients avoid taxes.

Reese admits to having no Social Security number, saying she is legally exempt because of a "religious objection." When asked her religion, she says only that she's a Christian; when asked whether she pays income taxes, she says only, "I don't think that's relevant to the article."

...

A National Public Radio fund drive, such as those heard in Los Angeles on much bigger KCRW and KPCC, is a mix of cloying boosterism, promises of tote bags and begging. A Pacifica fund drive, meanwhile, sounds like a never-ending infomercial for products created by a street-corner lunatic.

Take, for example, a five-DVD set titled "The Great Lies of History," which includes five documentaries by Italian filmmaker Massimo Mazzucco: The Second Dallas; The New American Century; UFOs and the Military Elite; The True History of Marijuana; and Cancer: The Forbidden Cures. Cancer features Dr. Tullio Simoncini, an Italian doctor who claims to treat cancer, which he says originates with a fungus, with sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda.

"There was a woman [diagnosed with] cancer of the uterus," Mazzucco recently explained to KPFK producer Christine Blosdale on air. "She tried the Simoncini method. She healed by herself by simply doing douches, washing with sodium bicarbonate. The cancer's gone, and now she can have babies. Of course, that's one less patient the cancer industry had to milk from."

Minutes later, Mazzucco said: "A new discovery that has been made in the last two years, and is seen at a laboratory level, [is] that marijuana actually cures cancer."

Blosdale then informed the listener, "If you got all the DVDs individually, yes, it would cost $500, but you get all five together for a $250 pledge." (A quick search on Amazon shows "The Great Lies of History" multi-DVD package selling for $49.90.)

Pacifica has become addicted to these pledge drives, which repel listeners looking for news and analysis from a left-wing perspective.

"People that have relied on Pacifica as the bastion of progressive news have slowly turned away," says Sonali Kolhatkar, host of KPFK's Uprising. "People looking for inner peace or nirvana are more and more of our listenership, and they shell out hundreds of dollars. We have successful pledge drives because we're selling this stuff."

Unlike NPR, Pacifica doesn't have corporate sponsorship (or underwriting, in public-radio speak). While listener sponsorship counts for not quite 40 percent of NPR's funding, it counts for about 80 percent of Pacifica's. While KCRW holds two nine-day-long fund drives each year, KPFK holds a monthlong fund drive every three months � meaning one out of every three days is a pledge drive, days full of DVDs and nutritional supplements and get-rich-quick schemes such as the "Wealth Propulsion Challenge," an online course that promotes "how to get rich holistically" � and quickly � via "subconscious reprogramming."

"Meanwhile, I'm supposed to talk all this happy talk � 'We're a great station! We don't take corporate money!' " Ian Masters says glumly. "It's a moral issue. We're ripping off the public."

Much of the money raised in a recent WBAI fund drive came from Gary Null and Monique Guild, a so-called "business intuitive and wealth builder," who was hawking "prosperity workshops." Various sources estimate that Guild and Null take between 30 and 50 percent of the money paid for these "premiums" � the gifts and items they sell to listener-supporters. Many suggest this may actually be illegal, since Pacifica is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

"Gary Null is a for-profit operation," Masters says, but "we're only supposed to educate and advocate. We're not supposed to be a private home shopping network for Gary Null."

...

Null used to appear on PBS pledge drives, raising more than $4 million across 24 different stations with a segment called "How to Live Forever." He's also author of "AIDS: A Second Opinion," in which he argues that HIV doesn't cause AIDS and can be treated with dietary supplements.

In 1999, then�PBS president Ervin Duggan said, "What does it profit us to honor science in Nova, only to open the door to quacks and charlatans?"

And on and on and on. Anyone curious as to why the Occupy movement fell apart like a dirt clod in a rainstorm will find much enlightenment here.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to imply there, but many of the first full-time-broadcasting radio stations out there were run by people hawking bogus/alternative medicines to begin with. It's among the oldest things to do for radio, alongside pure religion (and donate to the LORD by way the way of WCHRIST-AM) stations.

I did a show on KPFT for the better part of a decade and our problems are nothing compared to what's happening at KPFK. Also, the decision to let the listeners choose the board members was loving insane. It completely changed KPFT's programming, for the worse in my opinion, and is leading to the station's slow death. The people running for the board, more often than not, are old school peaceniks that are scared of anyone under thirty (especially minorities) and are still stuck in the traditional pledge model that only really works on baby boomers. I'll be amazed if they're still on the air in ten years without significant changes to the programming and fundraising strategies.

And we certainly have a fair number of infowars types that try to get shows and call in all the time, but thankfully they haven't gotten organized enough to take over the board (which would be quite easy).

All in all, running a Pacifica station is a thankless job for crazy people. You will never please all the listeners and they all think that their pet obsession is the most important thing ever and must be covered at all times. I'm amazed that they've survived as long as they have and they won't last much longer if they keep letting the listeners pick who runs the station. They can have their Democracy Now, but it will be their undoing.

I seem to remember that he's done this before (I think on another topic but I can't remember what it was). It may have been his book, The Signal And The Noise, which also made a bunch of criticisms of climate change.

Basically Nate Silver is really good at analyzing things that are truly random, but he then makes the crucial mistake of assuming that his success in that area makes him an expert in any field involving numbers. There's underlying mechanisms to climate change that are more complex than the random noise of polling results or baseball stats, and he is willing to make predictions without really understanding the models.

Yeah, either the article I linked or another one that TP did references the issue in his book. He seems like the Freakonomics guys in that he's very interested in trying to get "the story behind the story" so that he ends up looking smarter than the conventional wisdom. Works great in electoral politics where everyone talks out of their rear end and doesn't care about data but not so much when he's pretending he's smarter than actual scientific consensus.

I was actually going to buy his book but I think I'll take a pass now.

Nate Silver actually isn't that good in the statistical analysis part. He is pretty good at packaging those for daily consumption, but he is certainly not better than experts in anything, whatever "truly random" means here. His real innovation in electoral politics was updating the day to day of the electoral horse race, which is something that is very popular. It is not surprising that controversial opinions would appear in his website.

What is roadkill if not garbage? Better get these ten tons of flattened skunks an individual grave in a pet cemetery.
Also Denmark was the land that killed a giraffe, had it autopsied while school children watched, invited the press to photograph the carcass being eaten in the lion pen, all the while not understanding why the rest of the world was upset.
