[Imc-makerspace] LinkedIn Ultra-Conservative?

[Brian Duggan]

That's weird. Not definitively red-fear, but awfully suspicious. And I
wouldn't doubt that LinkedIn's owners are right-leaning.

For folks who aren't familiar with WRFU, the station has to have an
operator group for FCC purposes. Urbana's Socialist Forum has served
that function since WRFU began in 2005. They do not have any influence
over WRFU programming or even day-to-day operation - it's run by
volunteers. You could start a show called "The Socialist Forum Sucks".
Or "The IMC Sucks", for that matter.
