“You know, this is not a forum that gives us usable research,” WYPR President Tony Brandon says in a Baltimore Sun column on the Feb. 20 community meeting that drew some 300 supporters of fired host Marc Steiner. Brandon sat “at the front of the auditorium, with his back to the crowd, and didn’t speak during the meeting,” the Sun reported. The new mid-day show hosted by Steiner’s replacement, former Sun columnist Dan Rodricks, debuts today at noon.
