^ Hey, wouldn't we all like to know. Blogger understandably didn't say to avoid burning the nonprofit contact (client?) who leaked it. Maybe a station insider with a more admirable ethical compass than management can whisper here . . . | ||

don't ask me why, but it sounds an awful lot like the empty posturing so typical of WDIV. Every time one of their people is involved in a charity event, they go on and on about how wonderful X is, how much time they spend on charity work, and very little about what the charity does | ||

Look deep inside and tell the truth now: Who among us isn't deeply moved by the touching plight of a broadcaster in need? Only a truly cold-hearted viewer could fail to think 'The fate of this helpless I-Team or Action News Team depends on my generosity and compassion.' Yes, we all can make a difference. When caring viewers join together to support Save the Station telethons — programs that bring financial health, stability and economic opportunities — the impact is profound. Their work would not be possible without individual donations made by compassionate neighbors like us. Don't force any station to rename its consumer protection segment Ruth Needs a Rescue. Donate now. They'll be glad you did. | ||
