Does anyone remember Bob Edwards on the morning show on NPR?

I used to listen to the guy years ago. Seemed like a real likeable
person and seemed to have a balanced view. Every Friday he would
interview Red Barber, the retired baseball announcer, did it till Red
passed on. Both were the epitomy gentlemenliness. At least it seemed
so to me.

In any event, I believe it was last year, I tuned into Dr. Laura while
driving and Mr. Edwards was on being interviewed about his new book or
some such. I believe the conversation turned to partial birth
abortion and Mr. Edwards expressed a negative view toward the
procedure.

I recall that shortly thereafter Mr. Edwards'
air time was reduced, and within
a very brief period of time he was out on the pretext that they wanted
to bring some fresh "perspectives" to the program. And now, of
course, he is on XM radio
and me being a Sirius subscriber, I no longer hear him.

I think he expressed an opinion that was anathemae to some groups with
influence over at NPR and he was pushed!

So much for freedom of expression and toleration of other views. I
think its
call PC.

Which is why I listen to NPR. It may be liberal in many ways, but they
report the WHOLE truth.

I'm pretty sure I heard the same thing that NPR reported, on several
different CBS/ABC/NBC stations in the DC area.
