#cleveland #ideastream #wcsb Took a couple weeks, but the shadiness of a publicly funded non-profit destroying a public university's volunteer station under cover of secrecy has regional attention www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...
Tainted transfer of CSU radio station to Ideastream should be reversed: editorial - cleveland.com
To avoid further embarrassment, both Cleveland State University and Ideastream should acknowledge the irregularities and missteps, and unravel the deal until it can be transparently and openly debated -- including with full input from the loyal WCSB community, volunteer staff and others. And CSU still owes its own institution and the community detailed explanations about why such a move was even contemplated, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.

The more I dig into what is going on at #Ideastream, something appears clearly wrong. I've supported them since their inception, but their $500k/yr CEO destroyed thriving local media #WCSB and appears mostly to spend time in California, not northeast Ohio.

As a supporter of #Ideastream since it's inception it pains me, but following the truly horrible thing they did to #WCSB and how they did it, the only action that will change their leadership is a boycott.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Wild that Gary Oldman finally got his Oscar for like his 10th best role - parlayed that into a TV series where he plays Smiley turned inside out (he always wanted to play Smiley again) - into self-producing & directing himself in Beckett, apparently quite well - into finally getting his knighthood

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
