The "Is Amy Goodman CIA?" resolution at Pacifica
#1
A surprising dearth of material on the web on this not uninteresting issue. An exception follows. But note how Boal proceeds to avoid any substantial discussion of the resolution following the opening couple of paragraphs. That's Counterpunch for you. (By the way, who funds Counterpunch?...)

Quote:From Farce to Tragedy: The New Crisis at Pacifica

By Iain Boal

On September 17 the Governance Committee of the Pacifica National Board passed a resolution expressly designed to find out whether Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! program is getting CIA funding through covert channels like the Ford Foundation for suppressing the “truth” about the 9/11 “over-up” The author of the resolution, Chris Condon, made it clear that he wrote a motion on funding disclosure specifically to find out "where the hell Amy Goodman's money is coming from".

Condon’s campaign for reelection to the KPFK Local Station Board in Los Angeles is endorsed by the current interim Executive Director of Pacifica and chair of the Pacifica National Board, Grace Aaron. Despite being thrown out of the Church of Scientology, Aaron still publicly identifies herself as “a follower of the teachings of L Ron Hubbard”.

Some background reading - and one video link - on the issue of Goodman, the Ford Foundation and the CIA:
