Many engineers, and on air personalities were from my old outfit. The Pacifica Radio Foundation.<br /><br />Folks you know like Margot Adler, and several others that went on to fame with NPR were my old pals, and co-workers.<br /><br />However there was a basic shift when they finally got on their feet. They went for the money. Now the salary for their CEO is more than what the entire year's budget once was for either them or Pacifica.<br /><br />like that asshole Dylan sang once, "...Money doesn't Talk it Swears." Btw the official position now is that they 'never' had any official connection to that lefty madhouse Pacifica.<br /><br />Seems all the talent from there that got them started were,...get this, "Independent Artist", or "temporary vendors".<br /><br />I was an engineer at their NYC outlet WNYC...seems I was a mere "Vendor" off the street.

NPR is the quintessence of smug complacency, designed to coddle the sensibilities of the poops of privilege. <br /><br />ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
