160: Why I Don't Contribute To Public TV or Radio

I have never contributed, at least directly, to public TV or radio, and I probably never will.  The reasons I don't give, are the same reasons I don't give to NBC or Fox, or any other broadcaster - they get plenty of dough from other sources, and even the so-called "public" stations get the lion's share of their money from corporate, government or large trust targets.  Even if I was tempted someday to give something to a local public station, the pledge drives they conduct are so disingenuous and obnoxious that any urge to give is quelled.
