[MAIPC] False narrative about native plants continues on You Bet Your Garden

[Stephen Hiltner]

Mike McGrath of NPR's You Bet Your Garden is again spouting misinformation
about native and introduced plants, most recently on his March 31 show. I
transcribed his answer to a question about planting natives, and added
an "embedded
critique
<https://newscompanion.blogspot.com/2018/04/dont-bet-your-garden-on-mike-mcgraths.html>",
pointing out all the poorly reasoned assertions and even some demogoguery.

At least he acknowledges the existence of Doug Tallamy, but there's
resentment of science and ecology mixed in.

Here are some email addresses if anyone wants to send feedback to the show
or the station.
