Questions about NPR article
James McBennett was mentioned in the NPR article discussed here: 24ahead.com/n/11970
At that link he says I'm misrepresenting his views, but he has yet to explain how. In the post I say "he [seems] rootless and his only reason for moving to the U.S. seems to be his own economic well-being", which appears to be borne out by his tweets below. However - even though he's not the focus of my post, which is intended to encourage better PBS coverage - he's welcome to explain how my assumptions about him are wrong.

11 years ago.@mcbennett: the #PBS article didn't list your nationality. Are you Irish, English, British, Chilean, what?

11 years ago.@mcbennett: so, it has nothing to do with becoming an American, and it's all about the money. IOW, I was right: http://t.co/2bEa3HNMsb
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom If you met me, you would realise how incredibly wrong what you said is. You are completely wrong.
11 years ago.@mcbennett: I took spellings from the transcript, but I'll correct it. Feel free to respond & cc @PeterEisner & @NewsHour.
11 years ago.@mcbennett: I only surmised you're "rootless" and your only reason to move to US is "economic well-being". Tell me how that's wrong.
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom answer me this first, why do you like being an american. Answer in one tweet only.
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom my target is bad journalism. You asked me a question, got 2% of my response as I was limited to twitter, then said 'rootless'
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom So if I wrote a blogpost on your tweet, I would say you are a parasite on the US economy who doesn't give back. Fair?
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom There is alot I didn't ask and there is alot you didn't ask me, you shouldn't judge someone by 140 charcters.
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom That is not my only reason. My gf is american, most friends are american, I like american values and still you only have a %.
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom The PBS interview was about the US economy i.e. economic issues and therefore my answers were framed around economically.
