I loves me some Bob Edwards. What was N.P.R. thinking?
The best pipes in the biz!



N.P.R. now has Bob back doing a Saturday afternoon show and by
chance I heard his voice and remembered just how really good he
was and still is ..... the best voice on radio ... period .... end of story.

Not only that but a fine journalist too .... from before college
until a few years ago I would almost always listen to a little
Morning Addition and his voice was like a nice cup of coffee in
the A.M.. And then some clown came up with the idea that
he wasn't in the direction N.P.R. wanted to go and then after
the theft of the '04 election my personal listening of N.P.R. dropped
to less than 1 hour a week.

Hey N.P.R. Hire Bob Edwards back fulltime and try to do some real reporting.
hint for a story .... The '04 election returns in Ohio were run through the
R.N.C.'s computer in Chattanooga, TN.

1. You have the Republic Conservatives to thank for Bob and for Moyers.
Thank God they are both back and even better.

4. Both of them were old school journalists & reporters

Double check your sources, report the facts, and both sides of the story.

But the funny thing is that facts tend to support "our side" more than theirs.
I am sick of the word liberal being used as a pejorative and there by cutting
of real debate of the issues.

2. Bob's XM show is syndicated to my NPR station
every Sunday. I really did miss his voice when he left NPR.

3. My donations stopped after Bob did.
About 20 years of donations came to an end when Bob got canned.
