Do you turn to talk radio for breaking news?
A small article over at Radio Equalizer raises an interesting point or two. Brian's admonishment that talk radio personalities need to be better prepared to keep abreast of breaking news strikes me as being a little outside their scope of work. I listen to talk radio for analysis and opinion regarding news and not for the news itself. I'm not sure I want Sean or Rush to be "reporting" anything.
The second thing that struck me is this sentence :
Why anyone would think that the removal from political life of someone perceived to be an antagonist of our stated enemies will inevitably lead to a decrease in violence against us and not be greeted as a sign of weakness and an indication that they should redouble their efforts at our destruction seems to border on wishful thinking. It would be nice were the former the case, but, I would think the latter the better to form a plan of action on.

Rather than reduce the potential for terror, Tony Blair's departure actually seems to have increased their determination to destroy the West.
