RE: Marketplace Story: Publicly funded research for a price

["Joseph Esposito" <espositoj@gmail.com>]

No one who listened to that story or reads the transcript will 
ever again believe that NPR practices objective journalism.

There is an important factual error in that story.  The NIH funds 
research. It does not fund research publications.  To confuse the 
two is to mistake a picture of a dog with the warm animal that 
licks your hand.

I heard a story about Open Access on NPR last night.

I thought it might be of interest to this group.
