This is in context of Chester, PA's efforts to entice (ie. bribe) a supermarket to locate there. This was local programming, produced by local staff who seemed very interested in the subject, as opposed to being interested in seeming cool. It strikes me that this is exactly what public radio should be; indeed this short piece was more informative than just about any of whyy's nationally broadcast shows. And unlike many of those 'national' (pro-agression) shows, this one has the potential to incite some positive results.larry, dfhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-77998729246038036972009-12-10T21:55:10.351-06:002009-12-10T21:55:10.351-06:00Alicia the ombudsman responded to one of my critic...Alicia the ombudsman responded to one of my criticisms and I answered back.<br /><br />Also, Madchen Vapid first comment there is quite eloquent. Grumpy and Boulder Dude add some good points.<br /><br /><br />Ms. Shepard:<br />Thank you for your response.<br /><br />To recap (emphasis mine):<br />You said:<br />"Despite misinformation on the INTERNET, NPR has not ordered her to stop [appearing on FOX]."<br /><br />I responded:<br />"Please tell us, Ms. Shepard, what the misinformation is. Specifically, who claimed that NPR has ordered Ms. Liasson to stop appearing on FOX?"<br /><br />You responded:<br />"MANY OF THE PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS we've got after the Politico article came out asked that NPR stop forbidding Mara Liasson from appearing on Fox. The misinformation/misinterpretation is that NPR ordered her to stop appearing."<br /><br />Which is exactly my point. You accuse unnamed miscreants of spreading misinformation on the INTERNET. I ask you to tell us who specifically is spreading the misinformation. You respond by citing phone calls and emails you will not share with us.<br /><br />As a teacher of journalism, you know that:<br />The original accusation you made screams for the support of links and citations.<br />To think that citing phone calls and emails answers my question about the internet is shoddy at best.<br />Even if true and I would accept the false equivalence, you have not given us access to the phone calls and emails, an easy job in this day and age.<br />Again, even if true..., what could the magnitude of the spread of misinformation possibly be from individual emails to you? Who else could possibly be aware of them?<br />Your disparaging NPR's critics on the internet and dismissing them (as you have before) through a straw man without answering the points of criticism is also shoddy.<br /><br />Though the Politico article asked about whether anyone at NPR had ordered Ms. Liasson to stop appearing at FOX, it was made very clear that no evidence was found that anyone had. Whether the emails and phone calls focused on this or not, you were the one who chose to focus on it and imply that Politico and others on the internet were spreading it.<br /><br />Again, please cite a reference for anyone on the internet claiming this. (emails to you, though reaching you through the internet do not count.)Nate Bowmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-38597655704543905542009-12-10T11:37:13.749-06:002009-12-10T11:37:13.749-06:00The ombudsman's blog comments are working agai...The ombudsman's blog comments are working again.<br /><br />All of my earlier comments never made it through.Nate Bowmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-15854872845550860942009-12-10T09:42:52.774-06:002009-12-10T09:42:52.774-06:00Mara and NPR sure love them some Obama today becau...Mara and NPR sure love them some Obama today because he is exhibiting "American exceptionalism" as the occupation President picks up his Peace Prize. Of course NPR/Mara don't want to talk about the irony of the situation, they only will discuss the timing of the award. I would guess that NPR fully supports American exceptionalism and all that means.<br /><br />Last night Siegal talked to Da;;as TeaBaggers and they expressed thier dislike of Obama because he dogs America and really doesn't "love America" like most people and other US Presidents do/did. (Thank God it ain't a "racial thing")<br /><br />I also wonder if Juan looked at Fox for a month and decided that they were not conservative enough so he gave up his chats with Scott in exchange for a few dollars more.

John Cleese: (meek, mild interviewee) "Well ... er ... they started squeakin' ... and then .. er .. they started nibblin' on some cheese ..." Terry Jones: "How did that make you feel?" etc.<br /><br />Maybe it's me -- but Inskeep's tone is decidedly more assertive when "interviewing" people doing things like genuinely attempting to defend the environment.

He's in the unusual position of accepting the peace prize a week after ordering 30,000 more U.S. troops to the war in Afghanistan.<br /><br />My comment: Mara Liasson is in Washington, DC today to do a patty-cake, two-way 'report' with host Rene Montagne. She's in and unusual position of doing an interview with soft-ball pitcher Montagne after accepting FoxNews money for the rest of her week's work.<br /><br />SOME PEOPLE say, this is utter journalistic hypocrisy. SOME PEOPLE think Liasson plays the token liberal on FoxNews. SOME PEOPLE suggest Liasson plays the token conservative on NPR. SOME PEOPLE argue that what Liasson does isn't really journalism at all; simply chattering and bloviating. SOME PEOPLE suspect, NPR is just taking tax money and corporate money and is sensitive to its reputation, which is why NPR hides Liasson's associations with FoxNews and uses fakes balance when it presents its topics. SOME LISTENERS ARGUE that interviews between host and reporter are just DC Villager chat.<br /><br />Tax dollars and member dollars -- my tax and member dollars -- paid for this bit of 'news' on NPR today. And tax dollars and member dollars -- my tax and member dollars paid for the NPR website that allows me to constructively criticize NPR, using its tried-and-true method news-presenting format; its news construct.<br /><br />NPR Listeners Report, YOU Decide!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-90292268949153782212009-12-10T07:56:32.930-06:002009-12-10T07:56:32.930-06:00The "image is everything" thread is dead...The "image is everything" thread is dead on; Anon and Nate.<br /><br />-madchen vapid<br /><br />By the way, Dean Baker is on a roll criticizing NPR.

Among those named was Richard Armitage, who most recently served as Deputy Secretary of State during George W. Bush's first term as President.
