Approaching the news

[texaslawchick]

We live in a very strange media world. I just read the following paragraph in the Columbia Journalism Review, and it sort of blew my mind: While doing some recent research on the news business, I came upon this remarkable fact: Katie Couric’s annual salary is more than the entire annual budgets of NPR’s Morning Edition and All Things Considered

You know, oddly enough my AM/FM clock radio died last week. Since I needed something I pulled my old (as in I used it 30+ years ago) GE AM clock radio (with hands). It has a "Wake to music" and is AM band only.

Every station on AM is "talk". Which means I wake up at 7am to someone screaming about Obama. Today it was global warming when they had Obama's speech for the UN followed by grunts, snorts, then statements saying "there is no global warming, it's cool today!"

Jesus I can't believe how stupid people are. I need my FM radio so I can wake up to Morning Edition....
