NPR's Kroc-pot bubbles over
I hope this infusion of dead cow cash finally weans NPR from the public teat. Their local outlets here in NYC still claim to be "public" radio stations, but as I noted back here (scroll down), they're nothing of the sort. Hell, they have both an AM and FM outlets; how freakin' poor is that?
The part I love is that NPR comes right out and admits that the individual radio stations can forget seeing any of this largesse hitting their bottom lines. "Keep up the pledge weeks, you dumb saps!"
Come to think of it, whoever the local NPR broadcaster in Mrs. Kroc's neighborhood was should take them to court, since they were NPR's pipeline into her heart.
