Memorable Moments RE: F9/11 From "Talk Of Iowa" (NPR)
. . . today with uber-journalist Katherine Perkins and a stand-in for "Dr. Politics".

Some (partial) quotes from the above commentators regarding F9/11:

"I would compare it to Oliver Stone's film JFK . . . "

"I haven't seen the film, but the art of propaganda . . ."

A number of people called in supporting the film, noting that it is being misrepresented by the mainstream media, that it is not comparable to "JFK", that it is eye-opening, etc.

After a number of these calls where Ms. Perkins expressed her skepticism with the callers position, she stated "we are journalists, and are supposed to be skeptical."

I have been listening to this "journalist" for over 4 years and have never heard any skepticism whenever a right-wing "earth is flat, opinions differ" position is put forward.

My daily affirmation as to why, after many years, I am no longer contributing to NPR.
