[Vision2020] no more "Views?"

[Tom Hansen]

I agree with you, Wayne.

 

Although I may not agree with the majority of opinions expressed on Mr.
Lohrmann’s Sunday morning program, I listen to it as much as an addict.
Willingness and ability to listen to both sides of an argument is what
strengthens this community of ours.

 

I have been called a Liberal Elitist and an Intolerista by those that
consider themselves to be representative of the “Moral Majority” (which it
is neither).

 

We shouldn’t shun the critic.  We should welcome him/her.  We learn from our
critics.  Our own opinions reflect what we have, and in some cases haven’t,
learned from our critics.  Before we can knowledgably confront our accusers
we must understand our critics.

 

In the absence of these basics we are nothing more than blind lemmings being
led to our slaughter.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

Tim, et al,

 

You have presented a wide variety of different views, some quite unpopular,
on your show.  Some of these views do not receive much exposure elsewhere.
While I don't agree with many of your guests, I think it important that they
have the opportunity to be broadcast that you provide.

 

If your show is discontinued, it will be a very unfortunate blow for free
expression on the Palouse.  It is quite ironic that a university that should
be the leader in fostering free-wheeling expression and debate on all topics
should be compelled to censure or apologize for their own radio show that
does just that.

 

I hope that you will continue your show with the heartfelt blessing of the
university if not the community.

Visionaries,

         This morning I sent the following email to the KUOI list-serve.

         If, in the near future, my show doesn't air at its regular Sun.
morning time or if you don't see anymore of my regular notices about
upcoming guests on my show, you'll know why.

         I know this likely qualifies for "tempest in teapot" status, but I
just thought a few of you would want to know since some of you have been
guests or even occasional listeners to my show.

        The "jury" is still out--just a heads-up.

            Thanks,

            Tim Lohrmann

Hello everyone,

               This morning I spoke with someone associated with KUOI about
my Sunday morning show--"Moscow Morning Views."

               

              The "gist" of the conversation was that this person believes
that the way in which I conduct my show is a net negative for the station
and the community. Basically, the thinking of this individual was that not
only does my show not serve any good purpose but that it is
counterproductive. I invited this person to come on my show to discuss their
complaints, but they declined because they apparently didn't want to be
associated with the show or thought it would be an inappropriate forum for
their views. 

               

              While I disagree, my main interest is to not create any
problems for KUOI.  If this person's views are widely held, this may be
exactly what I have been/am doing. So, if the mangement thinks it best for
the station that my show not continue, I'll be happy to discontinue hosting
it. 

              Best,

              Tim Lohrmann
