How true.
I envision Chip Franklin as being the teenage son of the station owner, and the old man standing there, grinning ear to ear, saying "that's my boy!" ;)
Chip Franklin is a TALK show host, not a professional writer. Why do Freepers want to "prove" to him that we are shallow and hurtful? He is an on-air voice, who has been given through the age of the internet, his own page on which to present ideas, polls, and links to articles. Each of the WBAL hosts has a page. None are controlled by editors.
He was (and still is) a stand-up comic until he started this morning show 5 years ago. His alliance with conservative issues and politicians seems to have evolved during these years as he observed and interviewed people of both stripes in this deep blue city.
Consider that he is still talking about MD4Bush. Is anyone else?
Lets try to keep him on our side. He could bring a lot of new and friendly eyes to FR.
