Leave a commentI usually enjoy the Michael Medved show but today, Jan. 30th at 1:30 pm, I am annoyed how Mr. Medved is talking about a non-issue. (People getting offended that Trumps speech did not clearly indicate that he was talking about the Jewish people and the eradication of Jews.) When the word Holocaust was spoken in the speech it is A GIVEN Trump is talking about the Jewish people. The word Holocaust, 99.99% of people in their minds know we are talking about the terrible eradication of Jews by Nazi Germany. In the first 4 words of Trumps speech, you can tell he is heart-fully giving sympathy to the Jewish people. It doesn't have to be spelled out. It's a given – Holocaust is and was the killing of Jews. You must realize now that anything Trumps says is going to be dissected, misconstrued and turned into an issue. It is getting really tiresome. The media is doing their job of making news out of nothing and you are buying into it. I can't listen to your station anymore if you are going talk about non-issues.
Driving home I wanted to call and say the same thing. Mr. Medved I love your show, I love when we agree, I love when we don't…But yesterday show on this issue came off a little petty, nasally, and whinny.
Smart and wise as usual, Mr. Medved. There was a period in my life when you were my primary source for news and book reviews. I've since moved my informational center of gravity to EconTalk.org and a host of economist friends on FB. But whenever someone sends me a link to something you've wrote or said, I am always edified. I hope you are prospering. God bless you.
