KPCC drops the ball AGAIN. Larry Mantle has a round up of area museums today and he doesn't report on the stunning turn of events at the Board of Referred Powers in Los Angeles. They handed the Autry National Center a defeat. The council members insisted that the merger promises with the Southwest Museum be held up and made binding. Council member Jose Huizar, whose district the museum is in, tells the Autry they must make good and Air Talk would rather discuss TMZ and Michael Jackson? Why would Larry and his crack staff ignore this important cultural issue?
