Of course she handled it badly. The rules of the game changed and no one told NPR. Now it doesn't matter if you have journalistic standards. It matters if you fire someone by phone. Yes, the rules of the game have changed. Now it doesn't matter if you provide real news coverage in towns where the commercial news stations are run by computers. Where commercial stations have stopped reporting storm coverage, even when lives are at stake. Where commercial stations have forsaken the arts in favor of proven hit music. None of that matters. No one is trying to make commercial broadcasting better or more accountable to the public. Instead, we're all about tearing things down. The Greatest Generation built this country. The Me Generation is tearing it down. Something to be proud of.
