Let's just say that social media in Minnesota isn't happy over Minnesota Public Radio giving Garrison Kellior the slip--the equivalent of 100 pages of comments on MPR's Facebook page, almost all of them angry about the firing over alleged sexual harassment, many of them making that traditional threat to public broadcasters of no more pledges, and I assume some additional complaining about National Public Radio or MPR being either libtards or sellouts to the Koch brothers, MPR's classical network only playing the equivalent of a direct response "101 Musical Masterpieces" album, announcers on classical service being too chatty and undignified, MPR's adult alternative rock network the Current in general, taking "Car Talk" off, taking Michael Feldman off, that inane quiz show "Wait, Wait..." that is beneath public radio. that evil retired CEO Bill Kling (and surely a reference to "the Klingon empire"--and I thought diehard public radio listeners never watched evil commercial television) and some other things that I've forgotten:

By the way, Kellior lost his Washington Post Writers Group syndicated column today (as you may remember, the last one defended Al Franken from his accusers). Chris Thiel is probably very happy he's in NY this week and is not due back to the Fitzgerald in St. Paul until Feb. 24, when hopefully this will all have died down. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
