Of course, you're all correct, but there is that dwindling minority that will complain about anything that doesn't fit with their definition of public broadcasting. And it seems to be an unavoidable fact of life for both radio and television in this country and elsewhere. Last week, NPR celebrated "Morning Edition"'s 35th anniversary. "ME" has more listeners today than ever, but the comments on the articles commemorating the anniversary seemed to be overwhelmingly whining about how bad Steve Inskeep, Renee Montagne and David Greene are and wishing Bob Edwards was still on (and I suspect those who know that Edwards was fired by Sirius XM some weeks ago wish he would come back--although I don't think he ever wants to get up five mornings a week at 1:30 a.m. ever again). Oh yes, and complaining about how NPR has become fluffy and Republican (even if the teabaggers are still calling the network a bunch of Commies and "All Things Considered" was much more back-of-the-book in the 70s than it is today), even saying that it's the same as the network morning shows. If some of these people ever bothered comparing a "Today" or :"GMA" rundown to an "ME" rundown, they'd be shocked how little hard news are on the network TV morning shows these days and how much more hard news is on "ME."
