    President, Interrupted

    July 1st, 2005

    In a special edition of War News Radio, we re-broadcast President Bush’s speech from Tuesday, June 28, 2005, on the war in Iraq, only this time with footnotes.

    You’ll hear the key portions of Bush’s address with commentary from experts in the fields of history, rhetoric, linguistics, and psychiatry, from soldiers and Iraqi citizens, from bloggers, analysts, and even author Kurt Vonnegut.

      I was disappointed by your decision to run the “satire” at the end of your otherwise-credible “President Interrupted” program. I think a young program like yours needs to remain serious in intent. That end satire piece might go over well on Comedy Central, but it damages your credibility. If you do decide to run another such piece, you owe it to your listeners to announce it as such in advance. Even mainline news programs like ATC give listeners a warning before running satirical pieces. Your failure to do so left me feeling let down and deceived. The piece was powerful enough, you didn’t need that cheap shot.

      This program is THE most thought-provoking, reality-checking program I’ve encountered in any medium on the topic of the president and his treatment of the war in Iraq.

      Congratulations on a program superbly done.

      Thank you,
      Ed
