Suspending Expert Opinions

National Public Radio has found something new to complain about - networks use experts a ...


Wait! Just now, while doing this NPR BS thing that MarcM forwarded, it struck me.  WhyTF am I doing it?  Anyone who regularly peruses this, and other conservative blog pages, has already digested several thousand such examples of insipid Liberal minded reasoning.  The occasional Liberal who lands here will discount anything that doesn't square with his/her religion, and off they'll  scamper la-la-la.  So farkit.  I'm not posting it.  Besides, I can find no link, nor reference to this JINSA article.  Phooey.

Here's the original pbs complaint - tinyurl.com/5tg34f

from JINSA The American people have to know what the government is thinking and doing in this war - our war - so we can understand, applaud, or criticize. We hear al Jazeera all the time, not to mention NPR, CBS and The New York Times. Why not the expert military view from expert military people for balance? We were big fans of embedded reporters, too, but they're gone - maybe they got too much of that "experience" and "perspective" that Heyward and Folkenflik find "disconcerting."

What's disconcerting is the media attitude toward the active and retired military, and their apparent belief that we, the public, can't be trusted to weigh expert opinions along with everything else they throw at us.
