Save Bob Edwards!

[JohnLocke]

The NPR brass is seeking to "refresh" their broadcasting by firing longtime host Bob Edwards from his position as anchor of Morning Edition. I urge everyone at DU to visit the website devoted to fighting the cheaping of the public airwaves by visiting SaveBobEdwards.com.

1. Petition signed, letters to be written

Thanks for bringing this to our attention it somehow slipped under my radar.

It seems to me that the neo-cons are trying to control everything. NPR, Sierra Club.....any centrist organization it can get its hands on. They are buying the credibility of all remaining non-right wing information outlets.

6. They are putting Tucker Carlson on PBS

No kidding. He gets his own show.

7. Ok....

... will those of you who've been saying I'm overreacting to NPR's downhill slide now admit they are now useless? Or will you wait until they sign O'Reilly?

2. Won't load, in fact I got the old 'An error in your program has occured'

warning just before it went splat.

4. The Wal*Mart-isation of Public Radio has already begun

8. Public Radio...

... is OVER, unless your idea of good public radio is more right wing propaganda. It's not enough that 99% of AM and FM talk radio is right wing, the LAST NATIONWIDE VOICE OF THE LEFT HAS BEEN CO-OPTED and if you are still sending them money it doesn't speak well of your decision-making processes or your priorities.

5. I've heard...

... that he had editorial duties for Morning Edition.

If that is the case, then why save him, Morning Edition is a horrible melange of American Enterprise Institute, The National Review, The American Heritage Foundation, the CATO Institute with a bit of news and propaganda thrown in.

With friends like Bob Edwards who needs enemies?

9. This is ridiculous and overblown

I shall see who will take over for Bob Edwards and see what happens from there.

10. Ridiculous and overblown?
