9:12 a.m. PDT: I’m scheduled to appear on NPR’s “News and Notes” segment with two other bloggers today at 1:00 p.m. EDT. Topics include the Fairness Doctrine, Illegal Immigration, and “I got a crush on Obama” and similar videos. I typically don’t follow You Tube “girls of the campaign” stuff and other nonsense, but I had to suffer through a few videos to prepare for the segment.
It’s ironic that I’ll talk about the Fairness Doctrine on NPR. Whenever I blog about the dead policy, I usually mention NPR as a “liberal” station that likely would not survive if it had to compete in the free market rather than rely on taxpayer funding.
10:35 a.m. PDT: The topic line-up changed while I was on the air. No immigration. I had to shoot from the hip when the host talked about a BET video which purportedly encourages black kids to read. The video is raunchy, however, and some are shouting, “Racist!”
Update (7/20): The audio’s up.
