They ask for donations so that “we can offer you these programs” but rudely interrupt them for donations.

Last week, during NewHour they broke literally in mid sentence and came back with the last sentences of a Miles O’Brien story.

Yesterday they broke in a middle of a Holmes vs, Doyle program. As they have been doing for 50 years, one could see volunteers by phones but no one was calling. These days we donate online, not by calling

I can tell by the programs that they are part of a pledge month.

OK, end of rant
