NPR



Just a brief note that about the primary news source I currently receive my information about concerning the world. It is National Public Radio, which in addition to the New York Times and my regional newspaper make up 99% of the news and related information that I obtain. I have learned to avoid of the last 10 years or so the cable news services (CNN, Fox News, etc) because of their bombast, and for the last 5 years or so have grown to realize that our local/regional news channels have grown to adopt the "Maury Povich" school of sensationalized "journalism"... which is basically just pure crap.

This happens to be a common time for many NPR stations to seek member sponsorship. If you feel so inclined, consider sponsoring your own local NPR station. I know I have.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
