I have selected the following excerpts from you generous postings--

Morning Edition with Bob Edwards is easy listening news for the jaded Great White Appartchik Class.

I never said people who have made ME and Bob Edwards a part of their morning ritual aren't interested in getting serious news. My assumption is they are more interested in keeping their comfortable morning ritual intact than they are in getting serious news in the morning.

You seem to be a thoughtful person interested in getting at the truth, SRS. I just think you are a tad too lazy to go looking for it beyond your safe, secure mainstream media walls, is all.

I mean c'mon people. If you've been listening to Bob Edwards for a long time, isn't it time to shake up your routine? Anyone who has been doing the same damn thing every morning for 25 years ought to shot out of a canon to shake up their safe little world.

I lived in what we used to call a movement household. We were all very politically and socially active, were raising kids, working, etc. We all agreed that Bob Edwards needed to go. I never looked back.

You seem to want to shake us all into a new awareness of the world--not to share an opinion--which is an imposition, though you may not think so--
