Notes
I meet Jewish people who won’t listen to NPR or read the Times because they are “anti-Israel”. This is absurd. Such people are missing out on excellent journalism. It may be a defensible position to not donate or not buy a subscription; I don’t agree with it.
If I had a la carte cable, I’m not sure if I would choose MSNBC simply for Countdown– I would probably not go with CNN or Fox News.
