[proud2BlibKansan]

Wonder if this has anythig to do with her suspension?

hmmm

1. Way old news

and she won that suit.

[tishaLA]

2. no it's old news

[NMDemDist2]

i didn't wait for the .pdf to load, is that the OLD one or a new one? n/t

[annabanana]

3. She named CACI as a bad actor YEARS ago.

(It was my introduction to the world of contractors in Iraq)

[SeattleGirl]

4. Randi won against CACI. n/t

[bullwinkle428]

5. She's been talking about the CACI suit on the air

for at least a year, maybe a year-and-a-half now. Other regular listeners should be able to confirm this as well. I seriously doubt this had anything to do with the suspension.

6. What is this, the glorious People's Republic of China, where we recycle old news?

Sept 2oo6 was a WHILE ago....

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. THis is actually old and she won

no, this dust off has to do with the primary, ultimately

[Gman]

8. She won this before I quit listening to her

a couple of years ago. She was in the right and Caci tried to intimidate her. This was when she was worth listening to.

9. No worries, proud2Blib. There is so much information on the infernal Internet

that you can drag up material from years ago and think it was written yesterday.

I've done the same thing -- quoted something from 2002 or 2006 that is already a settled matter. Best thing to do is to check for post dates (sometimes you can't find them or they are NOT included). This is really a problem in medical forums where they keep information for YEARS that may not be germaine any more because of new studies.

My biggest complaint with the Internet is bloggers who abandon their blogs. That goes for this site, too. I had a whole list of people who were doing journals on the DU. Many of them have the top post as ancient history -- some have a journal, but there's nothing in it.

End of rant. I turned my journal OFF and my husband did the same; we just don't have time to post here due to other commitments.

Have a great day!

Cordially,

10. They're gunning for her, because she didn't dodge the military.

She also didn't join and then go AWOL. How can she talk about the military and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan when she's a real live veteran? No, she's too knowledgable. Must go.

I'm sure AAR will give her time slot to Rush soon. Maybe even Tucker. Feels like AAR is heading that way anyway.

I still miss Marc Maron.

11. Not sure of your summary, but I did enjoy Marc Maron when he was on.

Political comedians on the radio have a very hard row to hoe. Especially when the public likes to "guess" (and it's only a guess, folks) which side the moderator or host is on.

At first, these hosts are entertaining, but the line between real "news" commentary and comedic "infotainment" news is very hard to navigate.

Marc Maron came on so early on the West Coast -- was it 3 AM to 6 AM? I didn't hear much of what he did.

In my opinion, even Keith Olbermann is getting kind of stale -- and I'm REALLY sick and tired of his nipping at Bill O'Reilly virtually every day.

We watch Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and once in a while, the PBS Newshour (Snooze...), but mostly we get our information from news sites on our computer.

We never watch the network news anymore. I haven't seen Brian Williams, Katie Couric, or -- I'm drawing a blank on the ABC male news anchor -- in ages.

Peace,

12. The NewsHour may be a snooze, but it is real news and in-depth reporting and interviewing. nt

[Radio_Lady]

13. I know. I've been a volunteer with the local PBS TV/radio station for --

almost eight years. For about four of those years, I listened to kudos and complaints about that show while answering calls for Audience Services. One of the best things is no commercials.

My 84-year-old aunt loves NewsHour and I watch it with her every chance I get. It just seems slow as molasses. Frankly, I miss the McNeill-Lehrer Report when they both were younger, and I was too. Robin retired years ago but still reports on some interesting stuff. I hope I've spelled his last name correctly, but if not, please forgive.

Thanks for your comments.

[Ilsa]

18. Thank you for your service to the station! I've done volunteer

work for my tv/radio PBS affiliate, too, but it was a long time ago. I miss Robin also, and Charlene Hunter Gault. I think she's been on tv a few times, but rarely lately.

14. WOW - BREAKING NEWS! Thanks Sherlock!

I'm sure that's it....

[Radio_Lady]

15. Prefer, I find your snide comments completely objectional.

The OP simply put up an old link. Why bludgeon another DUer for that?

Good night and good luck.

PS. Who are the Egg Twins? Is that avatar supposed to be humorous? You are undeclared gender, no personal information after 807 posts. Totally suspicious of people who join a couple of months, throw zingers at whomever, then melt away.

16. Thanks Radio Lady

:hi:

17. You're entirely welcome. Glad to do it.

I am finding this site more and more unmanageable in my daily life.

It's starting to be like we need DU Anonymous. Look at the inflow of verbal abuse. It's almost impossible to have a cogent discussion with someone without starting a conflagration. That might be with some UNKNOWN BODY who is too chicken to give any details of who, what, where and when s/he is.

It's just intolerable these days. While we supposedly have more than 100,000 registered users, I wonder how many are gone because of the daily surge of the WORST kinds of communication.

Have a good weekend!
