npr \"talk of the nation\" report on online gambling
caught part of this while driving today. seemed pretty interesting. i only heard the end where they were talking about the wto battle with antigua. gonna listen to the rest now.
totn is one of npr's most distributed broadcasts so i think their slant is important. esp since totn is considered one of the super liberal npr broadcasts. btw, who is will detweiler? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=13975457

Re: npr \"talk of the nation\" report on online gambling
From the clip's intro:
"The cards are digital but the cash is real in online gambling. There's a fortune being won, and lost, on the Web, even though it's illegal in the United States. Players go to surprising lengths to enter the virtual casino and place their bets." Yup, this is the kind of precision of language I'd expect from a solid news outlet. Oh, wait, this is NPR.

Re: npr \"talk of the nation\" report on online gambling
Interesting that the lawyer guy said it's not illegal to gamble within state lines, only across state lines. So you could have a californiapoker.com and it'd be completely legal...

Re: npr \"talk of the nation\" report on online gambling
This host is such a douche. Blah blah blah, transferring money to gaming sites is money laundering, blah blah blah, some guy calls in "ZOMG ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED," blah blah blah, online poker is illegal. Awesome research chief.
Cliff Notes: He makes me wanna choke a bitch.
