This is my NPR day, and I've listened to "Car Talk", "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", and "What Do You Know", which will be followed by "This American Life" and "Prairie Home Companion." It helps to balance out the discouraging news, but it helps to add humor and help us to be thankful for our lives. Thanks for the great article! Sue Craig Dear Chris,

I've spent almost 10 years working in the media and everything you said about the "hype and sensationalism" the media puts into every story is so very true. The scary part is that not only is it true but it's the sole intent of some, maybe most, media outlets. When the message of the churches, synagogues and mosques start to reflect the media and not the real message people need to hear we end up in the very situation we are in right now. Great article man! Chris, once again you have knocked it out of the park.

Great article man!
