The media

The headline in the Boston Herald was LIKE A RAT. What bothers me about this? I mean, of course he's a bad guy who deserves to be punished. But there's no room for emotion in justice, be it love or hate. And I don't like being reminded that the proudest moments in some people's lives involve striking another person in the jaw with the butt of a rifle, laughing and dreaming of their names in the paper.

I found out that Mumia has recorded many more essays than listed on Free Speech Radio News, all available on Prison Radio. It's worth it just to hear him quote Dave Chappelle. And in addition to keeping up with those two websites, Democracy Now! is also really good.

Kind of related to these media outlets is WMBR, MIT's campus radio station. Not only do they air FSRN, but they have such impeccable taste for and are so thoroughly in touch with the current music scene that they might be the only radio station you need. And they stream. Sure beats The fucking Planet.
