http://www.tinyrevolution.com/mt/ My Email to NPR's Ombudswoman Dear Alicia, I'm writing to thank NPR for including the views of David Horowitz in its obituary for Howard Zinn. It was very thoughtful of you to do so. After all, if you hadn't made sure to quote some fringe right-wing crank slagging Zinn, it would have suggested that Zinn's six decades of teaching about how the U.S. functions might be wrong. But since you did include it, you demonstrated once again that Zinn was correct about NPR and the media generally: you're enthusiastic handmaidens of the U.S. government at worst, timid "liberals" terrified to step one inch out of line at best. So this really was the greatest sendoff you could give Zinn, essentially validating his entire life. Well done. best, Jon Schwarz P.S. Please don't read this on the air, since that would call Zinn's perspective into doubt. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
