[Imc-cleveland] Gandhi

[ABIGAIL FISHEL]

Andy, this is media.  This is an open publishing newswire.  Just because we 
have something on the site doesn't mean we endorse it necessarily.  There is 
a certain amount of impartialness needed to be maintainted by media people.  
Okay, so you feel that way about Ghandi, so be it.  But Code Pink chose to 
follow some of his tactics and philosophy in what they are doing and that is 
news.  Its news, not doctrine.

by the way, thanks for the encouragement about the show.  we are trying.
I just hooked another lady Cydni who works at the food co-op to cover 
environmental issues.  she already asked work for mondays off and was 
granted that so she might be with us in the studio this coming monday.
