And I interviewed Naomi Wolf on the 27 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.599 program And it's going to be an outstanding seminar tonight 28 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.680 for those folks who are concerned about COVID. You're gonna 29 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:45.120 learn a lot tonight. Oh amazing eye opener. We're going 30 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.480 to be reflecting and people will be writing about that 31 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.519 experience in our history for a long long time. 32 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.319 Now that we're allowed to. Yeah, we're questions. 33 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.560 Yeah, all those conspiracy theories has actually turned out to 34 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.560 be the truth. Yes, scary anyway. But before we get 35 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.319 to the book and get to your seminar or another, 36 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.319 I have to ask you what your assessment of the 37 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.439 state of journalism, particularly local journalism right now, since you're 38 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.039 with the Inquire Back in its heyday, well, that was 39 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.759 the go to place for all things local. 40 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.680 You had a multitude, it was the gold standard. It was, 41 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.439 I mean for media in this town and in this region. 42 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.560 It was if it was in the inquiry, you could 43 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.840 trust it. Yeah, I mean if it said the sun 44 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.400 would rise in the west, people would changed the they 45 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.759 pull the shades down, you know. I mean it was 46 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.080 that good it was. We had when I got here 47 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.439 in ninety two, we had three hundred and sixty five 48 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.039 thousand circulation. I don't know exactly what it is today, 49 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.759 but it's less than that very much. So I have magnitude. 50 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.479 But you know, newspapers, when you were talking about them earlier, 51 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.400 those are the glory days when newspapers, as they would 52 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.520 say today, were a thing. I mean, everybody had a paper, 53 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.560 you always. It was the hard copy paper. You read 54 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.599 it in the morning and it got you off to 55 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.840 your start, and then you come home in the evening 56 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.199 and still be waiting there with great stories, a lot 57 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.599 of context, a lot of in depth. And the really 58 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.479 sad thing I think is that what people really don't notice, 59 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.639 and they don't miss it because they don't notice, is 60 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.199 that nobody's watching. We used to staff all the meetings 61 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:23.520 exactly everything, city, county, state, just over the entire region, 62 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.080 and we were there watching, and so we kept the 63 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.159 public officials honest to a great extent. 64 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.439 Now, look, what's happened. 65 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.000 Since that has receded, there's just a scandal after scandal, 66 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.080 reckless overspending and waste and abuse and fraud, and this 67 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:43.719 is all at all levels. 68 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.159 It's distressing. 69 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.639 Yeah, journalists used to hold them accountable exactly. 70 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:48.400 That was our job. 71 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.599 And you'd investigate and dig in and and ask the 72 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.599 hard questions and report when people didn't answer, and report 73 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.960 the answers when they gave them. Now there's no one 74 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:57.360 in the room. 75 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.919 And you know, the other thing is that it got 76 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.080 to be in the final years while I was still 77 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.439 at the paper before I left in two thousand and nine, 78 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.280 that more and more there was an agenda in the 79 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.280 newsroom and it just got out of control until pretty 80 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:17.160 soon the agenda was running the newsroom. So it would be, yeah, 81 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.720 we're going to hold Republicans accountable. Yeah, Democrats, Nats not 82 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.920 so much. We don't care. They're okay, they're on our side. 83 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.600 It was a clear our side their side thing. And 84 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.199 it became harder and harder to have opinions that were 85 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:41.839 conservative or dissented from the liberal orthodoxy to be published. 86 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:41.879 In the paper. 87 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.959 And I mean it really it was crazy that people 88 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.000 forgot what journalism. 89 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.720 Is all about supposed to be objective reporting exactly, and 90 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.639 then the editorial page was where you offered your politically 91 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.480 biased comments. Yerhaps or man perhaps not, but you know, 92 00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.360 a reporter would go out into the field and just 93 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.680 report the facts and then you would draw your own 94 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.879 conclusions and opinions based upon what you read. Now it's 95 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.600 all built in this direction, this this this lean and 96 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.800 and of course, as you observe, very left leaning these days, 97 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.920 but it reduces the credibility of the paper. 98 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.079 Maybe if you don't have trust, what do you have nothing? 99 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.079 That's the only thing you're selling in the media. Yeah, 100 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:27.439 it is trust well, and it's a recipe for obvious disaster. 101 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.000 As you note the number of people subscribing to it, 102 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.160 even online subscriptions has dropped. Yes, you got to pay 103 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.399 for it, and you know you're paying to support sort 104 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.879 of left wing journalism and left wing op ed pieces 105 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.319 and left bias quote unquote factory reporting. And it's just 106 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.040 not so that's how you lose you lose readership. It's 107 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.800 just it's again a recipe for failure. I don't understand it. 108 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.319 The great scandals that's been uncovered in this dosee investigations 109 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.360 is how n s A I D was paying our 110 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:03.639 media to Really they're they're pouring millions of dollars into 111 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.160 our media. I mean we're talking about New York Times. 112 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.879 We're talking about big platforms Politico, Politico that are on 113 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.319 the take from the government they are supposed to cover. Now, 114 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.480 how do you do that? That's that's that's just corruption. 115 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.879 You're in simple you don't bite the hand that feed you. 116 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.319 So over at that left wing rag Politico Online, Politico 117 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.000 dot com. I check it out almost every day because 118 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.839 I want to see what their side of the of 119 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.160 the story is. To provide me with that liberal talking point. 120 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.519 How do you trust it? But you can't. 121 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.800 No, And look at NPR National Public Radio. I mean 122 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.519 seventy percent of their stories lean way left. Yeah, and 123 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.720 what do you know, they're also on the take from 124 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:45.759 our tax dollars. 125 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.079 Well, I pint. I think the Trump administration is going 126 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.000 to be doing something about that. PBS and NPR. I 127 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.279 saw an article I guess this morning. I can't remember 128 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.759 which source, but it sounded like it was legitimate because 129 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.360 of course, the Trump administration isn't interested in funding left 130 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.920 wing organization. So, uh, PBS and NPR, maybe your your 131 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.920 your your time is due, and you may want to 132 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.680 try to swim on your own rather than using the 133 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.759 government or the federal taxpayer dollars. 134 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.600 Well floats, they'll find enough contributions from the private sector 135 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.480 and from their supporters who will keep it going. 136 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.920 Yeah. I firmly believe that, because there are enough people 137 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.879 out there that you know, get their news from them, 138 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.680 as biased as it might be, but want them to 139 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.120 still hang around. But that's how it's supposed to work. 140 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:25.480 Yeah. 141 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.959 Absolutely, I just always has beneficed. 142 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.920 It's offensive to me and has been for I don't know, 143 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.360 going way way back when I was writing editorials and 144 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.000 columns about it, that we would that I would be 145 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:41.560 paying my tax dollars to a government supported media to 146 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.240 lie to me. Yeah, and and tell me the government 147 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.519 line and the and the left wing Democratic party line 148 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.439 of talking points. 149 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.720 Well, I mean looking at how the changes occurred. Let's 150 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.000 again look at the enquire for example. And I hate 151 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.800 to be critical of them. I mean, Sharon Coolidg, you 152 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.079 come on the program and talk about you know, city Hall. 153 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.360 She's one of the few people that ever shows up. 154 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.879 But they don't have all creature. There's not enough Sharon 155 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.240 Coolg just hired by the inquire to be around everywhere 156 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.519 like the old days when you had a whole bunch 157 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.879 of reporters. But that's right. Do you think it was 158 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.360 colleges that caused this shift? That the left wing ideology 159 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:24.000 and incorporation of that left leaning mentality in college curriculum 160 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.519 is what caused journalism to turn into this. 161 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.279 And I think there was a cohort of my generation 162 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.639 that went through the whole Watergate era. That's when you 163 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.799 had this big bulge in journalism school enrollment and graduation, 164 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.320 which was the one that went into the newsrooms and 165 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.240 began to push an agenda. The older editors who had 166 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.039 been there for a long time resisted, but they were 167 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:54.840 quickly outnumbered, and the newsroom became more and more assertive 168 00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:00.519 of its quote unquote rights and privileges to direct news. 169 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.480 The publishers became weaker, just like as you saw on 170 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:08.399 college campuses, where the administrations became more and more spineless. 171 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.240 The more the protests that they faced, the more they 172 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.320 would just cave because it was taking the path of 173 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.600 least resistance, And that happened in newsrooms to a lot 174 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:22.799 great extent. I watched it happen, and that Cohort began 175 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.159 to enforce an orthodoxy as they rose up from reporters 176 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.159 to become editors and managing editors, and they were the bosses, 177 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.200 and they would be the ones that would say, hey, 178 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.000 I want you to shape the story this way, or 179 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.159 this story is not acceptable that one is. So there 180 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.279 you have the gatekeepers, right, and once the gatekeepers have 181 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.080 chosen a side, you really lose credibility in the community 182 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.080 because people know it and they can see it. 183 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.000 Yeah. Well, you know, of course the fifty five Carse 184 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.120 Morning Show tainted with a little ill libertarian bias. As 185 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.440 you said, you can see my stack that I'm surrounded with, 186 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.200 and I've pointed out many times over the years I've 187 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.279 been in radio, and this is nineteenth year for me. 188 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.919 At the end of the week, I'll have more than 189 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.360 a full ream of stories paper sitting next to me 190 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.559 that I never got to.

And some people may disappointed I didn't 193 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.799 talk about this story or that story. But it's up 194 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.679 to me, you know, like it was up to Walter 195 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.240 Cronkite when you watched him. He's got a million different 196 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.679 stories he could cover. He picked that one or this one. 197 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.799 And it comes down to the sources you interview. Exactly 198 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.200 who do you choose to interview. I mean, we all 199 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.360 knew in the j profession, in the newspaper business that 200 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.399 you could choose, pick and choose experts quote unquote experts 201 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.200 who would tell it, would say whatever you want.

Fine, it's amazing, that's. 208 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.440 What they're really expert at. 209 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.840 Oh yeah, oh yeah, and make a credible case for it. 210 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.679 We'll continue with Peter Burns in in the hour in studio, 211 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.879 which is just a true blessing.

You go pretty far back, 280 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.440 including the mound builders. Yeah, the Native America thirteen thousand 281 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.919 years ago. Yeah, really amazing. I remember as a student 282 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.480 in K through twelve I cameraber what grade I was in, 283 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.639 but K through sixth grade we went out and saw 284 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.279 the mounds up in Serpent momb Serpent Mountains, Yeah, up 285 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.559 near Chili Coffee, And that was an amazing experience. 286 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.039 It is. 287 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.399 That's an amazing thing because really, if you're on ground level, 288 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:49.519 you really can't even make. 289 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:50.480 It out right, I know. 290 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.759 So how did they know to make the snake that 291 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.080 can really only be seen as an entire snake including 292 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.440 ahead and tail, And you can only tell it when 293 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:00.759 you're like three four hundred feet in. 294 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.440 The air and there's no elevation that right. It's really amazing, 295 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.159 it really is. 296 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.360 And there are mounds like that all up and down 297 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.759 the Ohio River right here in our community. 298 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.320 And some of them miner standing is haven't been really 299 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:14.799 discovered to be mountains. 300 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:16.000 Yeah, that's right. 301 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.679 So there's still mounds out there that have the remains 302 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.080 of Native Americans and trinkets and artifacts in them, but 303 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.559 there are trees growing on top of them. Mouth they've 304 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.320 been incorporated into the landscape. They haven't been excavated or explored. 305 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.679 And some of them had amazing again engineering that was 306 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:36.639 defied anything we understand about these cultures, because how did 307 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.080 you make a circle that's a perfect circle that's a 308 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:44.279 half mile across without any tools of surveyoring like transit 309 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.360 or any of this stuff. 310 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.120 So how did they do this? 311 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.600 And they moved all that earth with baskets, Yeah, tons 312 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.720 of earth for. 313 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.440 No caterpillar trucks involved in the building of the mounds. 314 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.919 Really just amazing stuff. 315 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.879 It is them into their ingenuity and still a mystery 316 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.840 I suppose the reason why, Yeah, everybody needs to bury 317 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.200 their dead. But the idea of where this concept came 318 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.200 to make these real interesting mounds is, I guess, remains unknown. 319 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.399 Some of them are parallel what we would see in 320 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.679 the Aztec and Inca cultures, almost pyramidal, and that some 321 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.720 of them have a lot of burials, like even groups 322 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.519 of young women buried at the same time, meaning human 323 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:32.320 sacrifice we see evidence of in some of these mounds. 324 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.159 They've seen evidence of cannibalism, no kid, Yeah, very dark stuff. 325 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:42.240 Serpent worship, human sacrifice, cannibalism. That parallels again the Incas 326 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.679 and the Aztecs and the Mayans. So this was a 327 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.039 pretty dark culture. But it was also very sophisticated in trading, 328 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.840 because you'll find minerals that can only be found in 329 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.320 the Rocky mountains right here in Ohio. You'll find shark's 330 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.519 teeth from the Gulf of Mexico. They that are found 331 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:00.960 in Ohio. 332 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.039 That's crazy, isn't it. 333 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.880 Copper from the Northern Peninsula in Michigan right here on 334 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.839 the Ohio River. 335 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.799 So they suggest trading doesn't believable. 336 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:15.160 Trading network, distant trading thousands of miles away, and coral 337 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.880 and beads that you know you don't have turquoise and 338 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.000 coral here in Ohio. 339 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.279 Well, read all about it in Promised Land, and it's 340 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.960 just one little tiny sliver what's contained in there.

And you'll find 343 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.359 in the Promised Land how the Midwest was one more. 344 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.519 Peter Bronson, take a quick break here and mention my 345 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.680 dear friends at Bud Herbert Motors.
