re: #138 EPR-radar

Umm, you’re kind of making my point. You’re assuming that every corporation that would do donation matching is inherently evil and wants only to squash your freedoms by controlling the party.

MN Public Radio just finished a donation drive where they constantly had companies offering donations based on MPR getting a certain number of donations within a certain time period. It helps them bring in donations based on the listener thinking his/her donation will do more good than if they just donated without the match. The station would probably be more independent if they didn’t need corporate donations, but then they probably wouldn’t have the funds to stay on the air.
