If you like him then why do want him on TV?

Do you see that as some kind of step up?? The US TV audience falls quite a few IQ points short of the typical NPR audience, and US TV shows are constantly interrupted by commercial breaks (I’m convinced that US TV is one of the reasons we’ve seen an explosion of ADD/ADHD in this country). Furthermore TV standards of “journalism” fall far below anything that really qualifies for the term.

If Tom Ashbrook ever got a gig as a regular on a TV show I would assume he was being punished for something.

Dear Mr. Ashbrook and listeners:

If you, Mr. Ashbrook, have an agent, have him convince NBC that you are ready for television. Then, you can take over Meet the Press. You are the only voice I hear on the radio which captures the core of any subject—literature, history, politics, you name it!!

Thank you!!!

America cannot have its cake and eat it, too. But when huge swaths of the electorate don’t have a clue what’s in the US Constitution, when they don’t know who their elected officials are, how they voted, or what the top items in the federal budget are, or when they can’t even manage basic math or even spelling, it’s easy to put things over on voters.

Democracy makes certain assumptions about the capacity of citizens to handle their responsibilities. Americans have, for the most part, abdicated their responsibilities as citizens, and the result is a government that not only fails to provide the basic healthcare and education services that other advanced nations provide, but still manages to get deep into debt despite not funding those services!

If one is TRULY a Hillary supporter and would like to see her win, blind loyalty must give way to prudence.
