A lot of what this kid said is the truth. But that all gets swept under the rug because it's seen as being in bad taste? When do people get to talk about all the jacked up stuff that this man did? How long does he have to be dead before it's talked about? Or is it protocol that after someone dies, you don't say anything negative about them? Does death erase wrong doings? Maybe I'm in a bad mood today, but WHO CARES??

SO WHAT?
I don't think you're in a bad mood at all, how can you be, it is FRIDAY and the weekend is upon us
You hit upon the issue, free speech. I know that station from when I was a student at UAF, and I know people still involved there. Let's just say the administration doesn't usually feel the same way as the students. Many of my student fees supported the station, but the station license is held in the name of the Board of Regents. The Dean of Students also sits on the media board.
