Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I want to highlight this because I think it is so important. If you were as disgusted and surprised as I was to hear Peet and Offitt on NPR on Dec 11th, please let them know. Send your comments to listenerservices@... and let them know what was wrong with that coverage. I expect more from them!
