Well, of course they are. But you find commercials better? You find the profit making of commercial TV and radio a better way to create quality news? How many times have I seen on this blog lamentations about the sorry state of TV news especially? You don't hear the same thing about OPB. Why? Because we're able to do exactly what every reporter/producer/videographer in the world WANTS to do...quality story telling with intelligence. I'm not preaching here. I'm just making this point: OPB does this high level of work because of the way its funded, because its not about making money at any cost. Sure pledge drives are annoying. But what we're able to provide in return is priceless.
