Email protocol. Just heard this in passing about half an hour ago. Now why do I seldom listen to NPR anymore? Good to hear there are no other pressing national problems.
I enjoy the variety of programming ... todays show was light and breezy... that's OK with me, sometimes. They don't ignore the heavy and pressing issues.
4. Tlaked to a total stranger the other day and the conversation
drifted to radio. And as soon as I mentioned NPR he said "They have totally gone to hell since the day they fired Bob Edwards." Wow. I say that all the time. NPR still continues to have the reputation of the news hounds that would dig up the truth. Now they rest on their laurels and do little more than the MSM when it comes to digging for the truth. They most often do "he said .. she said" journalism. And it is so disappointing.
I Love Democracy Now, though frequently light, I love Terri Gross and Dianne Rhem ... Public radio isn't what it once was ... but it remains head and shoulders above MOST of the other news sources.
It beats the hell out of the inane chatter that fills the airways in the morning and it helps get me through the day.
I still thoroughly enjoy public radio and would feel lost w/out it. I send in as much as I can during fund drives as I know that the Chimp and many of the republicans have tried to undo everything that is good about NPR
