Given all the raves by fellow DUers I have been listening to her on AAR lately (about 2 weeks now). I thought she was quite good yesterday, discussing the 911 timeline and the relative role of NORAD, FAA, Air traffic controllers. She really seemed to have done some homework on that, which is not always the case I'm finding....
I have to preface any further comments with the fact that I want to like her. I really, really WANT to like her. But, she does not make it easy. And for "total truth in posting," I think I am often guilty of some of the same things I'm finding so irritating in her! Ahh, the ironies of life...
Lest you misunderstand, it is not that I'm that put off by her abrasive nature. She's impassioned. So am I. Still, she so often jumps to conclusion, cuts off her callers without even 15 seconds to hear what it is they are saying, refuses to listen to a point they called make (which are quite often complementary to those she made but point out a different angle) and won't allow herself to be corrected, even when she is obviously in error. That she does this with her invited "expert" guests is even more frustrating to me, as they have the scoop that I, the listener is anxious to hear. With guests, one would think she would defer a bit, perhaps?
So, I'll apply a bit of self-critique from my reaction to her to my own behavior (which is a benefit, in and of itself), but I think I'll listen to Franken and Janine G a bit more and RR quite a bit less....Flame away my fellow DUers who may be devout fans of RR, but I suspect I am not the only one who feels this way...
