Caller just called Greta on the carpet on Cspan Washington Journal for not discussing and

ignoring the OWS movement. It was so sweet!

1. I was just about to post about that. You beat me to it.

Regarding Occupy Wall Street, she said "WE COVERED IT LAST WEEK!"

(CSPAN is funded by the cable and satellite TV industry.) They don't really announce that so often anymore, do they?

2. The program just started. How does the caller

know that Greta will not be discussing this later?

12. She said Fixed News "covered it last week".

Done, done, & done.

3. the topic seems to be changes in American education

4. she said "WE COVERED THAT LAST WEEK"

As if there's no need to continue covering it. And she sounded kind of nasty when she said it. I don't know why Esquire was so hot for her.

5. the topic is change in American Education - so why would she

listen to comments on another topic? Particularly if that was a topic within the past week or so.

Topics do not repeat daily.

Lets not be so sensitive - CSPAN does a great job in spreading out their topics in many areas.

6. maybe we just have an honest disagreement

I thought the caller was framing an innocent comment about education within the focus of the 99% argument. And I thought she rudely cut him off. Hey, I could be wrong.

But I think CSPAN lies when they say they are non-partisan. That is a silly claim.

7. agree

I think CSPAN is as objective as one can find. And Greta seems (to me) to be among the top hosts.

Perhaps she misunderstood the context of the question- as you have framed it.

[Syrinx]

8. agreed

:hi:

ON EDIT: CSPAN may be as unbiased as you or I can find, but it is still very biased in favor of the corporate view.

9. Top host...NOT! She is often the one to receive complaints from callers. The caller was making

about what he thought should be the lead story, and he has a right to do so. CSPAN can be just as bias as CNN. It usually depends on who is the host for the morning.

[DrDan]

10. and CSPAN has the right to select topics as they see fit - particularly if something was covered

within the past week.

I still see her as one of the better hosts.

11. I respect your opinion and I stand by mine. nt
