Reading Jodie's Media blog

makes me remember what I used to want to be when I grew up.  I always had a penchant for the pen and paper. Now I just do it on a laptop. How cool to read all about that conference.  A conference sponsored by Air America. 

That's progressive radio .....the liberals answer to Rush and the other right wing crazies that they let onto the airwaves.  So, I read her blog with interest but with a smidgen of envy.  But with much more interest.  As I am older, I can remember well, I can't really, but I can remember reading about a media that most considered liberal. Now, they are just corporate.

There used to be a time where the media prodded Joe Q Public into contemplating the governments decisions and not just contemplating but participating in the public discourse.  I long for a day such as that again.  I had goals to be this trailblazing and traveling reporting unearthing injustices across America and making the world a better place.

Wow, that was digression if I ever saw it. Go read Jodie's blog. It rocks.
