TAKING TIME TO THINK

Charles S. Feldman, an investigative reporter at CBS Radio news KNX/Los Angeles, is the co-author of "No Time to Think," a new book focused on how the increasing amount of news, due to the dangerously extreme speed at which it is produced, is only "half thought-out, half true and sometimes lazily repeated from anonymous sources interested in selling opinion and wild speculation as news." Hear about the examples Feldman researched and the conclusions he draws in the book at the Talk Radio Seminar.
