Crooks was registered as a Republican voter but records show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on the day Joe Biden was sworn into office.

    They run programming that they suspect will get them money, either through donations or government funding- because for those working to get raises the organization needs to have money. (As well as other reasons of course)

      You’re accusing a highly respected and frequently audited charity of embezzlement? Or you think from their public documents that they pay their employees too much?

        You’re accusing a highly respected and frequently audited charity of embezzlement?

        No? I never said anything about embezzlement.

        Or you think from their public documents that they pay their employees too much?

        I also never said that.

        Here’s an example:

        If you work for a public park, you’re probably going to support more money for the park for a lot of reasons, but here are just a few:

        1. the park may be able to afford to pay you more.

        2. the park may be able to afford hiring more people making your job easier.

        3. you likely care about the park to some extent and want other people to enjoy it.

        4. you want where you work and spend your time to be liked.

        5. you are less likely to be at risk of losing your job.

        None of those things are embezzlement or suggest you’re overpaid.

              Then why even apply an anecdote in reply to my fact to start with? I think we’re done here.

                What? I don’t think you understood what I said, please reread it.

                1. It was teasing

                2. I said there is a income motive

                  There very clearly isn’t an income motive. The organization is following their clearly stated goals of providing news and reporting to the american people. Their documents prove that.

                    Why do they ask member stations to contribute financially then? And ask for funding
