Your local public radio station.  One of my local public radio stations, KCRW, apart from keeping me sane during commutes to different cities all over the South Bay, with news and music programming like <a href=\"http:\/\/newmedia.kcrw.com\/tracklists\/index.php?channel=Live&#038;date_from=2013-06-06&#038;host=Morning%20Becomes%20Eclectic&#038;search_type=2\">this<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1mi-Oul9qik\">this<\/a> (which is what eased me through slogging traffic into Santa Monica last Thursday) proved their incalculable value to their community once again by delivering a heroic news show last Friday.   In the aftermath of the most recent expression of our complicated relationship to the Second Amendment, KCRW became a refugee news show when their studio and offices on site at Santa Monica City College were shut down as police stormed the campus.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lamag.com\/citythink\/citythinkblog\/2013\/06\/10\/kcrw-responds-to-the-santa-monica-college-shooting\">KCRW<\/a> hastily relocated sometime after noon and were up and streaming from who-knows-where by the time I was driving home Friday afternoon, with live reporting of eyewitness accounts.  Voices were unmistakably shaky, but they held on.  Bravo, KCRW.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i52.photobucket.com\/albums\/g23\/botanizeme\/June2013\/P1013830.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\" photo P1013830.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May I humbly make a suggestion as to filling in the blank?
