Mr. Edwards was on being interviewed about his new book or
some such. I believe the conversation turned to partial birth
abortion and Mr. Edwards expressed a negative view toward the
procedure.

I recall that shortly thereafter Mr. Edwards'
air time was reduced, and within
a very brief period of time he was out on the pretext that they wanted
to bring some fresh "perspectives" to the program.

I badly miss Bob Edwards, and have never heard this story before.

The whole concept of his being replaced to appeal to a younger demographic
always seemed trumped up to me, but I just figured that he, like so many
others before him, had simply peed in somebody's Wheaties, and had been
shown the door.

It would be truly disappointing if he was fired for expressing an unpopular
(within the liberal community) viewpoint.
