Never, never, ever put yourself at the mercy of Right Wingers. Not ever, ever, ever.

If you are, get yourself out of it. Then work from there and don't ever put yourself in that position again.

If progressive radio went totally on the Internet and let the Right have the airwaves, Right Wing Radio would be the ones solely bearing all of the criticism and worry over being cancelled - due to all the people they offend on a daily basis - and we could sit back and laugh. Meanwhile, our radio personalities would be beyond the reach of vengeful Right Wing Capitalists.
