WBAI Struggles

I could name a million other more useful places to donate money.

That's fine. I hope you donate your money where you feel it does the most good.

These people made their choice. It's their money, and they can donate it wherever they wish. Nothing sad about it.

You said, and I quote, "can you name one other cause that would benefit you personally, directly, and continually other than public radio and tv." Saint Judes does just that as I have relatives who are alive today because of them.
How about political contributions? Humane Society? Your local church? Are you arguing public radio and tv are the ONLY thing which continually and personally benefit us when we support them?

What I was trying to say is it can be argued that there are more important issues facing our society than whether WBAI, and Pacifica survive. I think I clearly stated that I value community radio and the access it offers to those who usually don't have access to the airwaves. But there really are more immediately important issues that progressives should address before donating money to a radio station that shills health care products.
But I dunno...I might be wrong.

Completely agree. What is "useful" and what is "sad" is subjective.

Keep in mind the people who made the donation live in Berkeley California, so they don't listen to WBAI. They were donating to the Pacifica Foundation, based there. The Foundation owns WBAI, among five stations.
