In an attempt to do some kind of good, broadcasters all over the country have made some kind of effort to raise the public's contributions to the Red Cross and other lifesaving charities.
Rush Limbaugh has announced that he will be giving a one-man performance at New York's New Amsterdam Hall on October 18th, 2005. The benefit will go to the Hurricane victims of this recent Katrina disaster. Also appearing at the show will be EIB heir-apparent Sean Hannity to do an introduction.
The Bob and Tom Morning Show, with 150 affiliates nationwide, is running an auction on their website with the money also going to help victims. They've relied on their long time friend of the show Peyton Manning. For more information, please visit the links below.
Also, I would like to warn everyone who reads this post. I am guessing that 60% of the broadcast media who is currently seeking relief and monetary funds is not doing it out of charity. They are using this tragedy to their own exploitive self promotional needs (with the above mentioned people excluded). Listen closely at how many times they mention their own name and attach it to the generosity they claim to give. Watch NBC's telethon and watch the parade of every slipping movie star and musician who will trip over themselves to put their name out in public again. Give your donations directly to the people who need it. Your donation to the Red Cross goes to the salaries of people who work for it.

Well, I'm glad that I didn't impulsively buy the Sirius Radio when I did, because after reading this news, I guess I'll be joining up with XM next year when I have even more money to afford.
