This time of year, twice a year, I get really annoyed with my local public radio station. They start begging me for money. I can’t blame them, they run commercial-free, but still, I just want to get back to my regularly scheduled news and information.

So I wondered, just how much time are they dedicating to the pledge drive, compared to what it would be if I just listened to commercial radio instead. I’ve tried the other guys, and it’s painful. A lot of that is because they mix paid placement in with the news, and I feel like they’re trying to trick me.

And idiots will be tricked. That’s what they’re banking on. Wouldn’t it be better to just get your news from an independent provider?
