This week, a series of real estate events promoting the sale of properties in Israel and possibly West Bank settlements are coming to Los Angeles. Given the violence against journalists after a similar event in June and at other demonstrations relating to the Israel-Gaza war, police in LA must ensure that journalists are able to report safely and freely.

Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) Advocacy Intern Jimena Pinzon and Advocacy Director Seth Stern wrote for the Los Angeles Daily News to remind the LAPD of journalists’ constitutional and legal rights and urge them to follow the law and its own guidelines.

The LAPD must foster a safe space for journalists covering protests, whether in response to the upcoming real estate events or otherwise. This will help in ensuring a well-informed public and a stronger democracy, and in avoiding the reputational and economic blows other departments have endured after illegally and unjustly cracking down on journalists for doing their jobs.

DJ Lady Edie B. was the first person to spin The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rappers Delight” in 1979 on WESL. The 14-minute-long, 12-inch single would later become known as Rap music’s first commercial hit and the beginning of Hip-Hop on the airwaves.

Despite their connection, the legendary musicians and legendary DJ never met – until they came together to make history again at KDHX on July 19, 2024.

DJ Lady Jock, co-host of Time Traveling My Way, was on hand as The Sugarhill Gang and Lady Edie B. met in person for the first time on the air, co-hosting the event with Soopaman DJ Speed on his show The Boombox. Lady Jock is also on-air legacy as the daughter of radio broadcaster, and WESL legend, Dr. Jockenstein.

The studio was packed with St. Louis radio history as “Gentleman” Jim Gates, then co-owner and program director for WESL, recalled handing Edie B. the “Rappers Delight” record and asking her to play it on her show.

At dinner last night the subject of fast food prices came up. We all agreed that prices seem to have skyrocketed recently, which I said was kind of mysterious. After all, the federal government tracks fast food prices, just like they track everything else, and the numbers are easy to find. Here they are: Since ...continue reading "Fast food prices haven’t spiked recently"

When tragedy strikes, it’s human nature to search for answers.

I'm beginning to think of the Wall Street Journal as the Daily Mail of the financial press: They are constantly printing stories about big new trends that are either flatly false or based on the flimsiest possible cherry-picked evidence.
