Off to the mountains, but when I’m back…

I have been hammered these past 2 weeks. I’ve been traveling, had a bunch of medical appointments and work is busier than ever, so tending to my blogging has been tough. Today I’m heading to the North Georgia mountains for a few days of R&R (reading and relaxation) in a cabin--a cabin with no phone.

So, for the first time since I started blogging some 6 months ago, I will go a day without posting. My guest poster Jen will be posting as usual, so there will be fresh content here.

But I leave you with the ONE DOZEN POSTS BELOW and I urge you to please read them. They are all from Bill Moyers’ (long) important speech to the National Conference on Media Reform.

The speech is the equivalent of a college course in media criticism. It is an important statement from a man who was there for the birth of public broadcasting. It cries out for broad public attention and debate. And when I return, I will have an extensive post with my reaction to it. (And for the Hillary haters among us, another Hillary post too).
