Comments on: SaveWCAL makes the Wall Street Journal http://savewcal.net/2009/04/23/savewcal-wall-street-journal/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss Representing the donors who built WCAL, the FIRST listener-supported public radio station and trust, in their efforts to redress a breach of trust involving St. Olaf College, Minnesota Public Radio and the Minnesota Attorney General Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:14:22 -0600 hourly 1 By: anonymous http://savewcal.net/2009/04/23/savewcal-wall-street-journal/#comment-1011 anonymous Thu, 23 Apr 2009 23:38:23 +0000 http://savewcal.net/?p=4278#comment-1011 I was glad to see SaveWCAL in the Wall Street Journal today but wish he had covered our story more fully. Interesting that some of the other college presidents had treated the protestor/faculty so badly, too, but guess it goes with the territory when you steal and then try to defend yourself.

I have somewhat mixed feelings about the story. Although the coverage is welcome, I slightly resent the headlining of SaveWCAL's efforts as "Nostalgia Radio" and further, the main article implies that all of these efforts are a matter of conservative donors protecting their point-of-view from "left-wing academia." If anything, SaveWCAL is on a different side of this issue, seeking to protect a valuable service from those who value everything only in terms of profit or asset liquidity. The implication is also present that St. Olaf took its actions from financial necessity, which we now know is not true. I have just read the WSJ article: Congratulations on getting the coverage.
