I haven't posted in awhile... don't worry... you'll get over it.... some how.

Yeah, I've been quiet. So what...

Anyway, I'm a little PO'd, because yesterday I was eavesdropping on my bosses' conversation with another co-worker, who said that people in the community, have commented that we shouldn't do editorials on our stations.

Why not? Do people complain when they hear editorial comments on TV? No, they expect it. And no self respecting paper can do without an editorial page. Why then, should our media be excluded from expressing an editorial position?

"Because as the radio you reach into people's home over the airwaves!"

Yes, okay, so what. Edward R. Murrow used the radiowaves to agitate in favor of intervention against Nazi Germany, when he was reporting from London. FDR used it to bolster morale during the war, and during the Great Depression.

Compared to television which successfully used its power to lose us the Vietnam war, the newspapers got us embroiled in the Spanish-American war. Hurray for Yellow Journalism.

I think radio has the better track record.

Is it because you are too stupid to formulate your own opinions? Or perhaps because you lack the physical energy that would be required to transcribe a counter argument.

Our freedom of speech and the press should be suppressed because you are too stupid to exercise yours?

I think not.
