Hightower Brings Hope
RECEIVED Mon., Dec. 27, 2004
Dear Editor,
Every morning when my alarm clock goes off, I have about five minutes to lie in bed and wake up before KALW airs the Jim Hightower segment.
It is always the highlight of my morning.
I do think it's interesting and very very sad that even in the progressive Bay area, during the fundraising drive, the stupid announcer repeatedly apologized for the "inflammatory" words of Mr. Hightower.
This should just show us all how far out of touch even NPR has become as it's been dragged right by the FOX News Channel along with everyone else, though less severely.
Mr. Hightower, I don't know what I would have done without the acknowledgement I gained for my views by listening to you. We all know the truth when we hear it. Even Republicans who prefer denial.
Excellence in journalism is still possible. Mr. Hightower is proof.
Love and peace be with us all.
