KPFA has decided to cut The Morning Show, their most popular production and one that has brought in 25% of their donations, according to Aaron Glantz, who published an essay on Huffington Post last night.  Glantz writes: "It's unclear why Pacifica's Executive Director Arlene Engelhardt would make such a move, which is guaranteed to lose the network's flagship station both listeners and dollars, while simultaneously undercutting its very reason for existence."  He goes on to question whether the on-point discussion of issues like the Mehserle sentencing and the debate between Kamala Harris and Steve Cooley, the candidates for California Attorney General are the reason Engelhardt swung the axe on staffers Aimee Allison, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Laura Prives and Esther Manilla .
