Anyone know the screening policy on NPR's "On Point" with Tom Ashbrook?
Was on hold today during the news break to get in first to talk to Ashbrook's guest, Chris Mathews. In fact, I was told I was first in line.
My question was simple, " why aren't there any Eugene McCarthy's in this year's presidential campaign?"
After I was placed on hold and heard the click that placed me on key to be potted up a few moments later the girl call screener came on to tell me that they had so many calls they could not take mine.
Huh? Why screen a caller, approve the question, key the caller on line and then later come back and say, "Sorry, we can't fit you in."
The show can direct the show whatever way they want by why have the caller go through the entire process and then knock them out.
Next time if I call I will tell them I am from Iowa one of NPR's syndicated locations. I think they want to hear from middle America in stead of the East.
