The roundtable on News & Notes with Ed Gordon missed it’s token moderate yesterday.
So when they talked about Kofi Annan getting booed in Beirut, they took
it as evidence that the UN is seen as a pawn of the US throughout the

stronghold,” nobody questioned the crowd’s spontaneity. I usually like
the show and it has the best musical breaks on NPR, but misrepresenting
facts is never a good thing
