They may not always cover what you want them to, but they have KBOO beat in the responsibility department. Mostly.
And recent history shows if enough people call attention to the KBOO problem, they respond. In fact, they respond faster than KBOO:

But if you're not ready to take that step, you can phone or email any or all of the below with your concerns. Keep a copy of your communications where possible and demand a followup.
Stick to known facts or clear statements of perception where all facts aren't known.
On Facebook, blogs and websites, ask questions, confront propaganda with facts.
In emails and online comments avoid personal attacks for the sake of attacking. Even a simple "Oh for fuck's sake!" will be spun out of context.
Remember, confronting these people online has no value except to educate their brainwashed followers and readers.
Archive their attempts to censor dissent while claiming to demand transparency.

These are some basic ideas with the goal of:
1: Demanding KBOO take responsibility for the irresponsible and illegal actions of people representing the station
2. Educating the public and other KBOO members of these actions that they may make informed choices about their relationship to the station
3. Expose the small clique controlling KBOO for their own agenda at the public's expense.

How to File a Complaint
The Federal Communications Commission regularly receives complaints from consumers on a wide variety of issues. You should always try to resolve the problem first with the company whose products, services or billing are at issue. However, if that does not succeed and you wish to file a complaint with the FCC, here are some tips that may help you.
Informal Complaints
The first step in the complaint process is filing an “informal complaint.” Even though the process is called “informal”, we take these complaints very seriously and they receive substantial attention and consideration. The informal complaint process, however, requires no complicated legal procedures, has no filing charge, and does not require the complaining party to appear before the FCC.
