Radio Host Ira Glass Bashes the Tele

Leave it to a radio host to bash television, but that’s exactly what “This American Life” creator Ira Glass did during a discussion in Seattle, Washington.

Washington News Council John Hamer, in describing the event, wrote:

Describing broadcast journalists, he [Glass] said that they sound like “talking robots….the esthetics of the language is so stiff” He [Glass] called that “one of the reasons why journalism is having such a tough time now.” Television journalism is “doing terribly,” he [Glass] said.”
