Kieschnick wrote a response to the the Wall Street Journal article, printed as a Letter to the Editor. You can read it here: http://bringbackissues.blogspot.com/2008/03/pres-kieschnick-responds-to-wsj-article.html He basically gives the same list of financial figures given out last week. What I don't get is, if the decision was ultimately financial, why was the cancellation executed so suddenly? Why were the archived shows online removed? And why are Wilken and Schwartz apparently forbidden to speak on the matter? Pres. Kieschnick wrote a response to the the Wall Street Journal article, printed as a Letter to the Editor.

If they can figure a way not to take the severance, they won't. This would allow them to say what they like, i.e. the truth. If they take the package, it's silence forever. It's especially troubling because it sounds like Mr. Schwartz's wife has recently developed some serious medical conditions, Rev. Wilken has children, etc. I would take Mrs. Hemingway's words with more than a grain of salt as she used to be on the BoC herself. -Weslie Mollie Hemingway was recently interviewed on White Horse Inn:
