Thanks for posting this as now I know I'm not the only person that
feels this way. You were also more descriptive about the past and
present of Robert Green's monolog.

I used to like listening to him even though I rarely agreed with him
because he was humorous.

I agree with you in that Robert Green used to be very funny with his
weekly round-up of what happened in Europe and Holland during the
previous week; it reminded me of Paul Harvey in this country (USA).
I actually made a point of listening to RNW every Saturday night just
to hear him.

It is unfortunate that now his weekly commentary is almost completely
political, and all negative against the Bush administration. I
wouldn't mind this anti-Bush approach if it were still in his old
style, with clever sarcastic humor just poking fun at the events of
the day.

What used to be a five minute segment of great radio is now nothing
more than propoganda, and even if I were to agree with this anti-Bush
approach, I couldn't enjoy it knowing that Mr. Green used to be so
entertaining.

I am going to email RNW and send them a copy of this post. Its not
that I expect them to pull the plug or even reign in Mr. Green, but
hopefully they will understand that his weekly commentary had been a
true gem in the world of radio, and that they should not just let it
disappear into the ether simply because of politics.

Good god what an unbearable whine. I listened to it for a few
minutes but it seemed it wasn't ever going to end and I had to
turn it off. What a totally clueless person. A big part of his
complaints had to do with the Condoleezza Rice being the new
secretary of state and other changes toward better agreement
with France and Germany of middle eastern relations. Imagine
that, complaining about improving relations. He even complained
about Condoleezza's hair so I guess he thinks himself a style
critic now.

Maybe his full time job is at a hair salon?

What time is this guy usually on? I've not listened to RN for
some time (about the time Media Network w/Jonathon Marks went
off) so I've not heard him.

I didn't hear him last week so it was a rare opportunity to listen
to the entire broadcast and enjoy it.

Green's segment is just a few minute monolog but the rant when
longer than I could tolerate. He gets stuck in between the usually
excellent programs but I have not paid attention to exactly when.
Seems he is usually heard around the hour or the half. Sorry about
not being more specific as I never want to hear him these days. He
used to be funny and self depreciating but now he's more strident
and nasty and just plain negative. He has the ability to find the
bad anywhere he looks appearently. In todays rant he even made
reference to the holocaust in a depreciating way and that's when I
turned him off.

The week before last he was running down the new Air buss
pointing out the problems of moving ever larger groups through
airports. Since this was a rant on a product design instead of
religion or politicks he thinking process was a little more
exposed. He does not check his assumptions for one thing.

I think his commentary is basically uninformed and negative. It
used to be funny and in that way was entertaining. I make
allowances for material that is entertaining.

And here he is again at 20:53 UTC as I type this so I just turned
the radio off for the next few minutes.
