TODAY'S SHOW: WEDNESDAY, MAY 14TH 2008

By Vanessa Silverton-Peel

On today's show Rachel is going to be talking to New York Times' political writer John Harwood about his new book, Pennsylvania Avenue: Profiles in Backroom Power.

Also, we have reason to believe that John Edwards is going to be endorsing Barack Obama at approximately 6:30 pm ET.  We will carry that live.  And then Rachel will talk to her politcal guru David Bender about they why and the when on this endorsement.

Underscore

In any TV or Film production, music creates a mood, sets a tone. This is no different - it's a form of emotional manipulation. In the case of this show I think their intent is probably to communicate that this show is all about urgent, fast-moving, EXCITING STUFF!!! (even if the words said don't always support that). Unfortunately, we're hearing an audio mix intended for a viewing audience. With the added visual stimulus on TV, it's not as obvious or distracting, but on radio, it's too obvious.
