[ItsAllAboutMeMan] NPR's failure to give Dr. Loftus her due

 

Dear Ms. Lawhon,

I tuned into NPR this morning and heard them discuss Dr. Elizabeth Loftus' memory research work. I was pretty surprised when they managed to reach the end of the piece without ever mentioning Dr. Loftus! You can read the transcript of the article and see for yourself:

This is the comment I left, now (and most likely forever) awaiting "moderation":

How did NPR's science writer fail to credit the scientist that did this work, Dr. Elizabeth Loftus? Furthermore, how did He's a doctoral student of psychology Steven Frenda fail to do the same thing? A lapse of memory? Though Marketplace trivialized the subject, at least they managed to talk to Dr. Loftus. Shame to all involved in this broadcast segment.

I'm sure you could find a more tactful way to tell them the same thing. At any rate, it's always a pleasure to be disappeared down the memory hole along with somebody of Dr. Loftus' eminence!

SIncerely,

Matt Love
