Thank you again for proving my point The only point you prove is when you remove your hat. >>All radio is ratings-driven -- even NPR in the state of Arkansas As for your opinion, it has been disproved in the case of NPR. However, popular opinion just put Greenberg back on the air. And what makes it so delicious is the way the episode defines Liberalism as anti-thought, anti-free speech. George Will has often remarked that contemporary Liberalism has made the Universities the place in the US where speech is the least free. The Greenberg tale ends familiarly, ultimately the only refuge for Liberals is their lying. This whole experience has been heartening. And exhilarating.
