Welcome to Free Republic. Why does Batchelor feel an anti-war blog link is important to include on his blog?
Welcome to FR.
Who is John Batchelor, and why should I check out his blog?
There may be kitties in your future.
While Batchelor seems to have an affinity for some FOX reporter whose predictions never seem to pan out, anyone not familiar with him should tune in. He's definitely on our side. Who cares if he has other viewpoints linked?
John is top notch and I think you'll enjoy his show. Very well thought out. His web site is quite good too. It has great links esp. to Iranian freedom sites.
Batchelor has a wide range of interests. You'll hear everything from Intelligence reports related to current events to a segment about NASA and a book review with an author at the end of the show. He is different -give me a listen.
PS Boy, does he hate the UN!
I have to admit that I am a regular listener and the show is excellent in terms of content and coverage of issues. My beef with JB is that, when he has a liberal guest (or Stalinist like Kristina VandenHuevel), he swings left and sounds all jolly when they are attacking conservatives and Bush. When he gets someone conservative, he swings back the other way. Worst of all, he has an English journalist on, usually late in the program (John McDonald or something) who is such a rabid Bush and America hater, that I can't see any reason why he should be included in any lineup.
Bottom line: The show is great, but I would count Batchelor himself in the Country Club Republican category (wants to be loved by the left too much).
