Was it you who called Media Matters yesterday and brought up NPR? For those of you who missed it, Bob Jensen (Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin) gave a beautifully concise explanation to why NPR suffers from lot of the same problems as corporate media suffer from. Over all it was a great show.
Yes that was me. Thanks for posting the link to McChesney's show. BTW Jensen has good article at TomPaine.com a which I think reflects on aspects of his comments about NPR.
To repeat, thanks for the link. Very helpful, very thorough, and very truthful. Bob Jensen speaks the truth, pure and simple. Good show, Mytwords: mighty words are getting around!
Here's a link to a wonderfully clear, well-argued piece by Noam Chomsky, about why Bush's policies are so mafia-like: http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/ 48494/
My name is Matthew Murrey and I'm from Florida, but have been living in the Midwest since 1984. I started this blog because no one else was blogging NPR's drift toward the right - and it made more sense than yelling at the radio.
"Q Tips" is an open thread post where you can place general comments or brief notes about NPR.
Comment Guidelines
I make every effort not to interfere with comments - BUT I will generally delete violent, gratuitously vulgar, or obscene posts. I realize it can be a subjective judgment call. Even when you're really angry, try to play nice.
