I haven't seen so much parsing and backpedaling since corporate radio took a scythe to its payroll under the guise of improving the product through voice-tracking.

Steve Duin wrote in a column about Heidi Tauber that getting fired five times in twenty years is "fairly typical for radio." That's his undocumented assumption, but I wonder: does that bell now toll for thee?
