Poor and immoral taste
I listened to your program for the first, and probably last, time on
Saturday, 1 April. Your "embarrassing moment" with Cathy from
Cleveland was initially just in poor taste (our having to hear her
nude parading through the hotel due to sleepwalking). But then Cathy
informs us that she returns to her room to get back in bed nude next
to her boyfriend. Everything is just cool.
No sense that perhaps some of your listeners might find this act
immoral, as our society largely did until the corrupting influences
of the media, etc. helped to steer us down the path of immorality.
(Remember when one had to show a marriage license to the front desk?)
No sense that you are setting a bad and irresponsible example for
young people, who are explicitly being encouraged to imitate such
conduct. As a representative of broadcasting, and public
broadcasting, don't you feel any sense of responsibility for your
message?
You should be ashamed of yourself for contributing to the corruption
of America and for assuming that your viewers are so morally callous
that they simply buy into the mores which you have apparently
accepted because your media world has instructed you to. I am also
complaining to your boss(es) at NPR. It is YOU who should be
embarrassed.
