So much information and noise that we all take in. Hard to sort it out. I listen to a local community radio station called KBOO here in Oregon every night while I cook. I have listened to it for years and it has gone through many changes. It carries Democracy Now and a lot of local as well as syndicated lefty? shows. I have noticed that it is more and more taking on the sound and some of the pov of NPR which is the next station on my local dial.
