… The inability by professional people to report the facts …
[Description by contributor Neil Ross]
In this 1970 aircheck, Aku is angered by the way UPI has written about an interview President Nixon had given the previous evening. He feels they’ve slanted it. He calls the mainland (still a big deal in those days) and demands to speak with the writer. Eventually he gets someone high up to admit that the story is badly written. Then listen to the calls that come in afterwards from people angry at the “liberal media”. Remember, this is 1970! Is Rush Limbaugh even Jeff Christie yet? It’s almost like being present at the birth of right wing talk radio.
