More Things Considered, I aired this complaint in a previous post, but it fits so well in this discussion...

I am working on a public awareness campaign around the complex issues of HealthCare in the US. Part of that campaign involved a nationwide radio broadcast that included some of the most active and involved advocates, on this issue.

WDET, the NPR affiliate in Detroit, would not even discuss participation in this FREE broadcast, which would have run in the same time slot as the rerun of CLICK and CLACK, the car guys. ( big fundraisers, but really an hour of canned laughing) I am still pissed. I'll never fall for the "alternative" identity of NPR again. The Ivory tower, ain't so Ivory, and it ain't so tall. Let them be what they have chosen to become, alternatives for the corporadoes that want to feel good about contributing....
