via Media Nation, Phoenix: WCAI (Cape Cod) suppresses wind farm story?

"Since Cape Wind was first proposed in 2001, the project has made plenty of powerful enemies (see the sidebar “Enemies in High Places”), including Ted Kennedy, his nephew Robert, and a host of other wealthy Cape Codders who don’t want their beachfront views blighted or their sailing waters cluttered. (Opponents also cite concern for the local fishing industry and avian and marine habitats.) Now the ongoing fight over Cape Wind has yielded a media controversy. Following the release of a new book (published on May 7) that paints the project’s opponents in an exceedingly unflattering light, some wind-farm supporters are accusing the Cape and Island stations of WGBH, Boston’s public-broadcasting behemoth, of de facto censorship."

btw Cape Cod Today's Walter Brooks, a wind farm supporter, appeared on Howie's show earlier this week.
But half of the conversation was pre-empted on WRKO, WXTK, and WCRN due to Sox pre-game.
 
correction:
oops, actually it was Robert Whitcomb who was on Howie's
show.

>>MAY 29: Robert Whitcomb, editorial page editor of the Providence Journal and co-author of Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics, and the Battle for Our Energy Future on Nantucket Sound was with us to talk abot the Cape Wind Project.

Reilly (the author of the Phoenix article) undermines the 'suppression' allegation with his closing sentences,

......No, the anti-wind-farm forces probably haven’t kept WCAI from reporting on Cape Wind. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like to. ....

which is essentially meaningless, obvious drivel, since no advocacy group wants their opponents to have a forum..

Think I will pick up a copy of the book, though. If Ted Kennedy is against it, I'm all for it.

gee, and I thought you were someone who evaluated things on their merits, rather than just another a knee-jerk responder. sigh.

did you get your lawn mowed?

It's a time-saving formula which has always served me well; more of a twitch than a knee-jerk. To think otherwise would truly be a triumph of hope over experience.

did you get your lawn mowed?

Yes. Came out pretty nice, if I do say so myself.
