They are achieving their higher point, they have 20,000,000 people listening to music that celebrates God and being Christian. They don&#039;t mind donating to continue to listen either. I think the article was trying to make the pledge drive seem unethical. It&#039;s not.]]></description>

Why are you concentrating on a single, minor point of the post while avoiding the major intent? 


&lt;blockquote&gt;I am not saying that K-LOVE is doing anything wrong (although I think they could make it more clear that staff board members are handsomely paid). My intent is simply to provide potential donors with information that is not provided by K-LOVE. It may be that your local church or food pantry needs that money more than this mega-station.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


It is my understanding that those organizations which consider themselves ministries have a higher standard to aspire to, though these days one could be forgiven for not knowing that.]]></description>

Susan G Komen, CEO almost 700,000, Planned Parenthood 5550,000. So the CEO of K-Love is not over compensated.  Those two other organizations have numerous people getting 300000-500000$. You should do an exposè on them.]]></description>

How much does the CEO of Susan Komen and Planned Parenthood make? Regional directors of some Red Cross chapters make more than that. The head of PBS is about 800,000. How much do they take in on their pledge drives?]]></description>

If someone runs an even more complicated charity for 1/3 of Novak&#039;s salary, then it is certainly valid to question if he is over-paid.  However, Warren wasn&#039;t just commenting about what he was paid, but also that they appeared to be obfuscating what he was paid.]]></description>
