This would be a blessing to Public Radio in that we don't have to go
through the Brian Lehrer schnauzer filter of every word spoken on
WNYC, a radio station that needs no breaks and does not necessitate
cutting off interesting and respectable speakers for "station breaks".
That guy [B. Lehrer] would cut off in mid-sentence the Pope, Arial
Sharon, Tony Blair, Charlie Rose, and the 12 Apostles on air at every
corner, ... if only given the chance ... the little nerd has to act
like a show off and ruin every news story and interview with his anal
and tiresome butt-in interruptions ... he is the worst thing to plague
public radio since rabies hit the prairie dogs and plovers of the
western states.

I heard that Brian Lehrer will play Trinity in the next gay-series of
MATRIX SUPERLOADED !!!
Get ready to stand in long lines!!

You made a great and unpardonable error. Brian Lehrer is the most
mundane of all media blabbers on air.
Replace the name "Bill Moyers" and NOW program for *brian lehrer*
below in your diatribe and diluted defense below, and you are on your
way to enlightenment.

I never miss Lenny Lopate or Brian Lehrer.
I can't find brian lehrer's resume or CV anywhere on the entire world
wide web. Did he ever even graduate from a college or associate
degree mini-college?
did he ever serve in the military or work for the government?
what is this about a career he had in philadelphia? Was that with
GE/NBC radio?
Leonard Lopate does not have any solid details in his WNYC website bio
either, other than playing the drums or some such lengend with Mark
Rothko, back I guess in the 1920s [how old is Lopate, about 80??].
Speaker of the NYC council/assembly, Gifford Miller, went to Princeton
and got only a BA degree and no law degree or MA afterwards, unless my
research is incorrect. He must have been born into lots of Upper East
Side money to get to where he is today in NYC City Hall politics!!!
Please add to this database anybody who knows more ...
