Softballs are better than no balls, I suppose
Knowing that at least one employee of West Virginia Media Holdings occasionally reads this blog, I find it appropriate to comment about "Decision Makers," the Sunday interview show on the television stations owned by WVMH.I watch it every Sunday, hoping to be enlightened. Bray Carey, CEO of WVMH, is the interviewer and people he percieves to be West Virginia movers and shakers are the interviewees.
There's noother show like it on state television that I know of, certainly not in Huntington or Charleston. It gives folks the opportunity to state their beliefs and political positions because Carey asks them the questions they want to be asked. But, I suppose, if he asked the tough questions, they wouldn't agree to be on the show.
Next Sunday, for example, we are told that Coal King Don Blankenship will be on the program and he'll be up against an environmentalist. Blankenship isn't gonig to be on a program where he's asked the tough questions. so at least we who are affected by the decisions Blankenship makes about coal and the state environment get a chance to see him and hear his sometimes creepy philosophy.
There's only one thing I wish for: I wish Carey would offer full disclosure and tell us when WVMH investors appear on the show as interviewees. But even if he doesn't agree to that, it's still a somewhat valuable show, as is the 9 a.m. show on Saturday mornings when we get an hour of stateide news. The Kidz News that follows? Well, I sometimes watch that too but that Mr. Wizard dude is creepier than Don Blankenship.

Aren't they the same thing?
LT would have eaten Bray for breakfast back in the 60s -- heck, even the 90s.
