And look, Bryan Miller, at WTTW’s schedule, before you genuflect and adulate. We have Bradshaw competing with the Giants and the Cubs. Bradshaw, a nice enough advice-giver, is one of many WTTW populizers of feelings. We remember L.B., the Squeeze Artist. His motto seemed to be: Everyone is your main squeeze. He burbled over with love, put us all on the Yellow Brick Road to hugs and kisses. One could go into sugar-shock from the first ten minutes of his incoherent speeches.

Then we have that motley of arrogance, a whole collection of folks who appear on the WTTW weekend–so far to the Right, they will some day slide off the flat world they believe in. People like Pat Buchanan, who recently distinguished himself in Houston. Of his performance, the most cogent political commentary came from Molly Ivins. She said, “Many people did not care for Pat Buchanan’s speech; it probably sounded better in the original German.”

If part of the station is surreal, it’s what someone wants, either the people or the corporations “who have made this program possible.”
