9. I hope Roger AIles is picking up Cokie's NPR salary becasue

I'd hate to think a single penny of my donations are going to that woman.

I appreciate your insider's insight about NPR stations. It seems to me that local station manager needs to hear from people who are unhappy with the direction those two mainstay programs (Morning edition and All Things Considered) are headed. These managers do get together from time to time. If enough of them hear from people who are considering pulling our support, they will apply pressure to the national system. We do have an independent public station (part of a university) in our area that is an alternative.

At this point, I am still donating, but from now on, I send my check together with a letter addressed to the President of the station.

people get mobilized to protest the most outrageous ones like Rush Limbaugh. It is just as important to fight to preserve the sources that are a little more progressive.
