Why do you insist in assuming things I and others did not say? I wish you'd get over that issue.

ME is a source of news for me. That's it. It's nota main source, but I have no main source. I get news from radio, TV, print media, internet news sources, Mudcat discussions, email lists and talking to friends among other places. I don't work hard at it, but I get news from a whole bunch of different places.

ME is not "morning comfort food" for me, it is a source of news and to some extent entertainment. I listen to it while waking up. I often listen to BBC news at midnight as well for the other end of the day.

NPR is typically better that other news agencies from what I hear - and I've talked to several of their reporters/broadcasters over the years. But even if they weren't, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be angry when they act that way and try to encourage them to act better. Will it work - who knows.

Some people may want their morning people to be "fuzzy," but I don't and I doubt that Edwards could ever be descrbed that way. Just because one looks forward to hearing the same voice, doesn't mean that their not looking for serious news. And once again, you miss the point of this thread - we don't worship the guy, we're just saying it looks like he was treated unfairly and every time someone gets treated that way, people should stand up and say so.
