NBC Nightly News: Rediscovering the South
NBC Nightly News did a segment tied to my Newsweek cover story about the South using footage shot by Lee Wang for the accompanying video blogs.
And this is the link to a 30-minute interview on NPR's Talk of the Nation: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93305841
Hey Chris: Matt Towery (a genuine southerner) of InsiderAdvantage says you are utterly full of shit with that Newsweek cover story!

Being from Chattanooga, I was not impressed with your perspective of our city and culture. You obviously came down here with the typical northern attitude that you are more intelligent and more informed than people in the South. You should turn your research inward, because it seems that you are the one who is prejudice against white Southerners. Think about that for a minute, and tell us how it feels to be both racist and ignorant?
