Don't believe NPR Hype

I'm listening to NPR this morning. Wait Wait don't Tell Me. It's what I do on Saturday Mornings many times. In the Middle of the Program they came on and asked for MONEY. Mini Fund Drive.

HA!

Remember in the Movie Airplane? One Character says, "I Picked a fine week to quit drinking"....

They picked a fine week to raise money. On the heels of this news.

The amount of money that people on the air make dwarfs even the salaries Auto Workers get.

NPR reported its five highest paid employees were:
1. Managing Editor Barbara Rehm, $383,139
2. All Things Considered host Robert Siegel, $350,288
3. Morning Edition host Renee Montagne, $332,160
4. Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep, $331,242
5. NPR afternoon programming director Richard L. Harris, $190,267.

I'll take them far less seriously from now on when they put out the Tin Cup.
