NPR Podcast: NUMMI Factory (1984-2010)

A lot of people, and especially "news" agencies confuse equal coverage with fair and balanced.

Let's say you're going to talk about the moon landing (today is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing). Fair and balanced doesn't mean you then have a moon landing denier on to rebut what Neil Armstrong said.

Anyhoo, the podcast was a cool piece, and I'm proud to own an american made truck.

JK/ I believe it was real.

 

Cartalk is awful.

 

I remember hearing about this plant as a kid. Cool to hear the story

 

It's not about believing it was real. A belief is something you hold true that is not necessarily based on evidence.

I understand that the overwhelming evidence that it occured to be factual and true.

 

Yeah, after I bought my Tacoma in 2005, I always wanted to set up a time to go take a tour. But I never got off my ass in time.

Now they make radio controlled electric cars there, lol

 

kinda gets you right there huh?

 

I’m a dual citizen and my father doesn’t speak English. I would spend summers in japan and that was big news over there when I watched the news. I was too young to really understand or appreciate the complex labor relations that made this such a big deal but growing up in Richmond/Oakland it was pretty newsworthy.

Cool to understand at and have a connection later on
