Most large market public radio stations have budgets that run in the millions, budgets so large that even the most broad-minded of us know that it's a scandal. I'm still awaiting a reply. This is a public corporation, with tax-exempt status, required to have a public file. This kind of broadcasting has always been commercial. For instance, our local station, KPBS, sports on its board captains of industry, a local newspaper monopoly magnate, and very very docile educators.
Public radio is a product of the establishment.
Your own program is an excellent example. Yet you are there, on PBS, five days a week, at prime time, for a half-hour, talking a talk that is nothing but cruel gibberish to the occasional poor black or Latino who chances across your signal. What a pity. While I have you on the line, since you are running an elitist program for elitists like me, why don't you consider expanding your scope. I'm talking about getting a few more voices on the air.
