I just posted this to the “Contact Us” WAMU form (http://wamu.org/contact):
We are disgusted with Murray’s treatment and presentation of the Big Broadcast. He has turned it into a giant “politically correct” disclaimer. These shows are uniquely AMERICAN, and there’s NOTHING wrong with them. If he imagines the faithful listeners to this program are so stupidly sensitive that they need a “disclaimer” before any show that might “offend” some sensitive “millenial,” he’s dead wrong. On the other hand, if he imagines that these shows will appeal to those same miseducated, “snowflake” millenials, he’s also dead wrong.
He’s running off loyal listeners, and you guys either need to get rid of him, or prepare to see the listenership of the Big Broadcast plummet.

This four-decade-old Ed Walker produced July 4th Celebration of America and Americana is appreciated.

Those thin-skinned, mewing, puking SOB's deleted one of my replies and all I said was, "Meh. In this case I vote with my tuner knob. If they're gonna wreck Ed's legacy, they can do it without my patronage."! Typical tantrum-throwing libs. Infantile, thumb-sucking cretins! LOLOL

Hey, now that's a nice little puddle jumper. We're still in the process of rebuilding the garden fence and remodeling the camper, but we're also looking at some boats, too. Don't want to take on too many projects at once and lose focus, but if a jewel in the rough rears it's head at the right price, I don't want to have regrets later.

I just posted a comment there in response to their deleting your comment. Let’s see if it remains.

Wait. I’d better show you what I wrote for the eventuality that the millenial girl will delete it: “So, you guys are now deleting comments critical of your commie propaganda? Typical. Liberals can’t stand those of us who hold rational views of your dead-end, anti-American beliefs.”

'If the only people we lose are these nasty pieces of work from "Free Republic" (go look at the comment history of the two commenting below -- ugly stuff) BB will be better off without them. (And as I pointed out last week, they apparently weren't listening very hard for so many years, since previous hosts have included the exact same sort of disclaimer. Talk about looking for something to get upset about.)'Funny how this smug pointy-head - a down-state Millennial Marylander, from his posting history - knows we're Freepers. Cookie-cutter Obamaphile. His worldly 'intellect' and a buck will get you a cheeseburger at McDonald's but won't do a damn thing to address something as simple a a case of eczema without it becoming a taxpayer-sponsored confab in Munich. Preening prigs. If Monsanto wanted to do one good thing for humanity, they'd come up with an aerosol for them.

'Microaggression'? I'm not into Fifty Shades of Wussy. I'm just jealous. LOL Just remember your Unca Viking when offering free rides.

If classic radio fans in the DC area are upset with the “new” presentation on WAMU—and they have every right to be—they should approach one of the station’s rivals, perhaps WMAL. Convince them to run their own block of old time radio shows on Sunday evening, and find a host who will let those programs stand on their own merit. Who knows? Perhaps Ed Walker’s old partner, Willard Scott, might be enticed into hosting the show.
One of the reasons I maintain my subscription to Sirius/XM is their classic radio channel, hosted by Greg Bell. Mr. Bell doesn’t have the most resonant voice, but he knows the programs, their history and the performers—and most importantly, he doesn’t present them through the filter of political correctness.

So Jill A. Bailey responds:
"... We do want to clarify that the explanations and violence advisories that are part of the show are in direct response to many listeners who have requested this information by email, comments on this site, and letters -- listeners who share this program with their (sometimes young) children and/or who themselves would like more information about the content of the shows..."
Does that mean Ed Walker had been ignoring all those emails, comments on the site, and letters, and telegrams, and smoke signals, and telephone calls, and Morse code messages, and faxes, and interstellar communications requesting information assuring a safe space for delicate ears?
I'm skeptical of a claim that outside sources drove this decision to wussify the intros.
