I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your programs. I wasn't a very happy camper when you left Morning Edition; but I am very glad to hear you in your new format. Your programs are always thought provoking and fascinating. They make me think!

Sincerely,

Greg Hofelich

P.S. I, also, am an alumnus of St. X in Louisville. Class of 1970: "...in many ways, it was the best of times and it was also the worst of times." Glad to see you doing such good work!

The film in which Chaplin plays a Parisian waiter who sings nonsense syllables in imitation of French is, in fact, "Monsieur Verdoux".

This is a minor issue, but still disappointing when it is heard on public radio. You're the ones who are supposed to get these things right.]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1649619 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1649619 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1637424 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1637424 GMT

McCain by Renee was a study in how to present "Gotchas". Sorry Renee, but he was a little too swift for your now reduced interviewing capabilities (as a result of the unbelievable pandering approach of your Obama reviews) ]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1586613 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1586613 GMT My shock is not because I learned anything new. I had prior knowledge of the subject from Le Monde, not a journal known for being nationalist or obsequious. They exposed the subject thoroughly. Their coverage and work ethics were so much better than yours. My shock was that public radio, of which I am a big listener and admirer, would commit such a sensationalist and shoddy piece of mccarthy style journalism, not bothering to present any consistent counter view. Hey, don't eat all your freedom fries at once.

Thanks for taking the criticism.

No matter my dislike of Change I still had to listen to the radio as I drove home from work.

So as I drove, I heard this Young sounding Girl like personality talking to the next generation of talk radio listeners, and giving a flipped side of news and humor to the human condition.

So forgive me for taking a few episodes to be won over by this Hight spirited and obviously intelligent woman that has brought humor into my life and a desire to hear the next thing she and her cohorts are going to do.

Faith your wit has won me over, and I can't believe that you are even more beautiful than I had imagined you to be by hearing your voice.

Keep it up girl and I'll keep listening as long as my drive home stays the same...lol]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1142813 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1142813 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1136639 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1136639 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1479429 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1479429 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1200813 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1200813 GMT
As for Faith's voice being "Valley-Girlish" that's simply your impression. Her voice was one thing that made that show so appealing. When she had a guest host subbing for her it really wasn't the same.

I, for one, am really disappointed by the move to cancel a really creative show.]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1225020 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1225020 GMT
And thanks for canceling Fair Game. What an uninteresting and annoying show that was. Though the show attempted humor, it was very contrived and consistently not funny and Faith's voice was Valley-Girlish.]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1195611 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1195611 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1130220 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1130220 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1127824 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1127824 GMT

Every "well researched report" allowed in the US media by a reporter from country that has a sick colonial past (namely UK) should be tempered by an opposing view. The accusations against Forign armies which may have their share of corruption, not unlike the British Army (often mostly made up of non-British brave soldiers namely the imported Gurkhas from the "colonies" and a enriched officer core (again often comprising of brave soldiers) from the home-country) should have been wetted for content and purpose before Lisa Mullins aired it on American Radio. To not do so is a waste of taxpayer money that funds PBS and PRI. For PRI to also say in the same corresponding article that the BBC is a well respected News Organization; a view I do fully agree with, is a horrible use of journalist leeway to propagate the British journalist's colonial-era views. How un-American not to recognize this type of colonian manipulation. Does anyone believe that most Armies do not have a corrupt minority however small. Do you think the Bitish became rich only be being pontificatingly uncorrupt? The article may have some merit, but it is a shameful use of the American Public Radio System in a manner which has caused me to focus on the writer - much more than the terrible things going-on in the Congo. Sorry you ran it. Please run an article which will help the situation in Congo not cause people like me to react to such journalists with our own biases and issues.]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1071415 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#1071415 GMT
Here is my letter to Caroline Glick who I heard on your show tonight. This hold by Isreal and their lobby on our government and middle east policy is killing us. We must become a neutral peace broker/enforcer. Bravo Jimmy Carter!

My letter to Ms. Glick - I just heard you on the Warren Olney Program - casting aspersions at Barack Obama, and conducting general fear mongering. Are you for real? I'm shocked at such a close minded rant about Barack not being 'pro Isreal enough'. This beat the drum for Isreal - and 'Everyone is out to destroy us' - has got to stop - it is exactly what's putting the U.S. at risk. Yes the jewish people have been massacred over history - with the holocaust the most awful example - but becoming so obsessed with your own destruction - with one of the worlds largest and most powerful militaries - is delusional and self destructive. You and your U.S. pro Isreal lobby are dragging this country down into your violent morass as well. This nation must be a neutral broker and be as concerned for Isreal and its victims of terror, as for the people driven from their homes, locked into a prison without autonomy, air or sea space, and forced to go through check points to go about their lives. Why do you think the extremist elements find support for their terrorist tactics? Do you really think this is the way Isreal can have a lasting peace? Build a giant wall and take more of their land? As long as Isreal steps on the Palestinian people you cannot possibly hope for a moderate leadership to emerge within the Palestinians and you will get war and terror in return.

You don't see the American interest in forcing a peace and a state for the stateless people? Really. You think a State recognized and brought into the community of nations and economies will be more dangerous than the veritable prison of rightsless people that is the West Bank and Gaza that you stand over now? Do you think jihadism comes out of a vacuum? How many woman and children has Isreal killed vs. Hamas. How many women and children has the U.S. killed? How do you explain the culture of jihad in Palestine - is it just in the Arabs nature - or could it have something to do with their hopeless situtation that empowers radicals - a situation enforced by Isreal.

If you are an Isreali citizen - what business do you have in attacking our candidate for president at not being 'pro Isreal enough'. If your views are predominant in Isreal - then your country is in deep trouble - and you are dragging our mindless administration down with you. Isrealis rave on and on about the katusha (sp?) rockets....but just do some math Ms. Glick - how many Palestinian civilians have you killed - vs how many of your Civilians have been killed? That disparity tells the story - and why peace can never come from the course you are on.

If Isreal stops being so belligerent and aggressive - perhaps there will be no love for the radical jihadist terrorists that you produce. Isreal doesn't deserve Terror - but as the prosperous and powerful entity you are the ones who can solve it through strength and restraint - not killing, harassing and imprisoning a people.

This neutral American wishes to see justice and peace for both sides - not propaganda and lack of dialogue and arm twisting from Isreal and Aipac. You won't meet with Jimmy Carter because he dares to meet with Hamas? Really? Your position is against what America should be about and for. I and, I feel, a growing number of Americans reject it.

Thanks-

Larry

Just a little remainder, trying to accused Ecuador of not doing "enouhg" to control the border with Colombia, is like saying USA is not doing enough to control the crossing of undocummented people from Mexico. Consider that the border between USA and Mexico there is a paved road a long the border, great techonology and lots of money. In contrast, Ecuador faces 3000 Miles of jungle, little technology and of course little money.

Ecuador has dismantled more than 50 guerrilla camps and capture more than a docen of fighters, all that, with NO USA economic support.
Colombia receives almost 1 billon of dolars per YEAR from USA.

Ecuador simply is protecting its land and its sovereignty, and Colombia is trying to get him and the whole country in a problem that Uribe has not been able to solved with money for years. After all, in Colombia is where the drugs are produced, packed, transported, and exported under his onw land and eye.

Ecuador was trying to help in the process of releasing Ingrid and more than 12 people. And now, because Reyes is dead any future negotiations with the FARC will be more complicated since the little trust between Colombia and the FARC is gone. Was Uribe trying to have a peaceful resolution or negotiation or trying to keep this internal war alive.
