Chomsky's main outlet is Goodman.
BTW, I hope everyone here knows how she got to where she is.
It was during the so called "Pacifica crisis" where there was a big court battle over their governance structure. And no one knew how it was going to turn out.
Democracy Now was their biggest show. From what I understand, from being on the governance board of KPFK, she made a power play at the time to go fully independent. And that basically forced Pacifica to negotiate a deal with her to stay on. It was essentially a poison pill deal. Pacifica gave her their entire major donor list and rights to solicit it I think twice a year. Therefore, in a real sense, Pacifica became Goodman. But with that loot, she became bigger than Pacifica.
I could only take one year of this so I quit the board after that. As far as I was concerned, Pacifica became kind of useless and obsolete after that.
