(V): [ I just see the way they are doing it and understand that a good percentage of the money will never reach any 'causes'.. but will be spent on 'admin' costs. ]


Compared to what? Governments? Unions? Other sorts of television programs?

I don't see it that way at all, what I see is extraordinary accountability... holding themselves and other TV ministries accountable for what is said and for how they spend the money. There have been a few fakers from time to time, but they've never lasted very long. Scrutiny from other ministries and from most people in general have either kept the fakers out or prevented them from lasting very long.

By the way, any admin costs related to television are going to seem unusually high, because the cost of broadcasting is extremely expensive. I don't feel at all pressured when watching those programs because they are being broadcast over the airwaves. I don't pay one thin dime for watching and listening... and neither does the taxpayer.

Can government subsidized public television make that claim? Viewer contributions don't pay for all of it, and none of the programing is "Christian friendly", if you know what I mean. Anytime Christianity is mentioned it's been portrayed in the worst possible light... even in programs that claim to take a fair and balanced approach to religion, they do a great job of misrepresenting what Christians do and believe.

I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. I think your mind has already been made up, because you imply unusually high admin costs and claim the lions share of the money doesn't go to help anyone. That claim is completely baseless, and represents nothing other than what you want to believe.
