I don't think Don was suggesting at all that Scott Ritter can ONLY be heard on NPR, Carol. He was saying that NPR is the only radio or TV show that he has heard Scott Ritter on lately, that's all, and that correlates with what my Mother said about not seeing Scott Ritter on TV in the last 2 or 3 years.

We see Scott Ritter on the Internet because the Internet cannot yet be regulated for content in the way radio and TV are. It's an open forum. It speaks well for NPR that they have given Scott Ritter some airtime, since NPR is a media forum under centralized control by whoever runs it, and therefore CAN be regulated.

I don't think there's really any reason for you and Don to be arguing about what he said in that post. Whether NPR is "the best" source for whatever...well, who knows? That's just a matter of individual opinion and individual taste...often based mainly on familiarity.

What I'm saying is...there's little point in seeking new arguments here with Don when there isn't much ground for them, simply because of past arguments one has had with Don....
