Did anybody hear Alan Keyes on Fresh Air today?

What an unpleasant, sanctimonious, SOB. Obama was on in the first half of the show, Keyes in the second. Illinois DUer's please make sure this guy doesn't represent your state!

You can hear the interview at http://freshair.npr.org/

1. Too early for Freshair on the West Coast, but thanks for the link

NPR is getting very conservative these days. Thank GOd for KPFK, but we'll see how long it lasts...

[sui generis]

2. NPR is doing what all the other newsmedia does now:

They present two sides, no matter how whacked out the other side is, as if they have equal weight, regardless of journalistic integrity or facts.

"Balanced" reporting is not reporting. News has a responsibility to to investigate and present facts and context, and NPR is failing in this regard.

3. Any time Alan Keyes is given air time, it's a good thing

He's so completely nuts it can't hurt to cover him (kind of like Katherine Harris during the 'recount' - they had to eventually hide her.)

4. Agreed.

He is toxic.

5. The website won't play today's show.

Yesterday's is the newest they will play, apparently.
