4. 1A is a public radio program with basic theme of first amendment. They cover a variety

of topical subjects. WAMU is the public radio station that sponsors it.

Gag me with a floor mop..

8. And the host is a gay, black man.

I didn't hear this morning's show - but as a general rule I he is one of my favorite hosts (head and shoulders abouve Diane Rehm at the end of her run.)

He works very hard to include a variety of perspectives in his show - perhaps that is what the OP objects to?

11. That is not what I object to and don't assume, thank you.

[Ms. Toad]

12. If your OP had content,

rather than just being a hit-and-run, there would be no need to speculate in order to have a conversation.

5. The BB goeth south.

9. When I listen to 1A, I think the "whatabout" is the point. If you listen closely, you'll

find that the questions and “counterpoints” he highlights are run-of-the-mill Internet comments you might see from your racist uncle or annoying co-worker. And then he or the expert provide solutions/insights to counteract those views.

The show isn’t for policy wonks or political junkies or social justice experts. It’s for people who are realizing that something is deeply wrong with this country and need to be taught the vocabulary to talk about it and act on it.

10. I think what bothers me is joshua is just too good at it sometimes

and a little enthusiastic about the right's view. It may be trying to make up
for any view he is liberal, but like I said, a little too good at it.
