Today (Friday December 4th) I am angry once again. I am going to share the reason for this anger with you. Earlier I was on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) Website, ostensibly looking for the World Cup Draw result. What I found was a documentary on "STORYCORPS" What is it? I will quote the site directly "Since 2003, over 50,000 people have shared life stories with family and friends through StoryCorps. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the Library of Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, and millions listen to our broadcasts on public radio and the web."
“You'll laugh, cry and think. These stories come from the souls of individual Americans. Collectively, they are who we are as a people.” “This project makes it possible to connect the past present and future, which is all we have. What can be more exciting than that?” “The StoryCorps project may well be the most important cultural event in America today. It's about us. About who we are. About where we've come from, and where we want to go.” While I am grateful to the BBC for this information and for making these documentaries, I am furious that it took an outside broadcasting agency to tell me!
Southern Californian Broadcasters really are crap! From DisneyBC through CBS to GE/ComcastBC you are rubbish. Worry less about the errant golfer and countless drunken actresses and do your job, cover that which is important to the Country!
