Today, while listening to Morning Edition, NPR ran a short piece on
how Clear Channel is trying to improve its image regarding the remarks
of its DJs about BOTHERING cyclists. As what these DJs advocated was a
lot more than BOTHERING bicyclists, I wrote the following to NPR:
Your story about how Clear Channel was attempting to improve its image because some of its DJs
advocated bothering bicyclists was a disservice to the truth and to the safety of bicycle riders.
These DJ's did not advocate BOTHERING bicyclists, they advocated actions that could result in severe
harm or death of human beings. These actions included drivers swerving into cyclists, throwing
things at riders, honking, yelling, or passing and then slamming on their brakes. Next time, don't
downplay the truth.
If this bothers anybody else, I suggest contacting NPR and letting them know.
