Do you want 415 Media?
This is hopefully the last pledge break I post because I don't like asking for donations and/or subscriptions --but unfortunately, I'm almost out of funds needed to keep 415 Media afloat. Without assistance from you, the readers, 415 Media will cease to operate, it's that simple.
I continue to grow leaps and bounds with thousands of new readers but I can't survive on the limited advertising that you see on 415 Media. That's why I need your help in donating and/or subscribing to this site to make it 100% independent and sustainable and so I can live too, survive really.
Those of you that have already subscribed and/or donated I thank you for your support and regret having to post these pledge breaks but the situation is dire.
I can't continue to blog 415 Media without your help, again, please SUBSCRIBE/DONATE by clicking on the PayPal icon on the right side of the blog and making your contribution today. ($25 a year for a one-year subscription; all donations are completely confidential and you don't have to have a Pay Pal account to contribute)
If only a fraction of you that come here and look forward to reading 415 Media contribute, then the pledge breaks will cease and you can continue to enjoy reading about TV/Radio in the Bay Area.
Thanks in advance.

I'd be happy to donate once you stop censoring comments. I know your common response is "it's my blog, I'll do what I want", and that's understandable so pay for it yourself. But if you're asking help from others, you shouldn't censor what they say. At the very least, those that donate should never be censored.
ReplyDeleteTook my words right out of my keyboard! My exact sentiments. I'd be happy to drop $50 on Richard's hat if the censoring ceased. I post sensible, respectful commentary and it gets censored while racist shit and the ass guy get published...oy vey...
DeleteIf you solicit comments, you should publish all points of view; not just those that agree with your point of view.
ReplyDeleteNo one should be censored unless the message is patently offensive and has no redeeming value.
I agree, I have mentioned same thing before, almost every time I post something that is just a very tepid defense of Ronn, I rarely get posted. Yet I see crude obnoxious remarks posted. How about everyone that feel the same way comment here and Rich can see how many more donations he would get. I read another blog everyday, it is not as controversial, it is from a small town in Connecticut, where I spend a couple of years in my youth, and the blogger (Dan Woog) writes about what is going on in the town, and some stories from the past and his youth (sixties and seventies, and personalities, however, there are at times strong disagreement with the blogger, but he posts everything, and has said so, he might respond in a somewhat terse way. Never the less, everything (unless in very bad taste) get posted and I think the blog is better for it, and I think Rich's blog would be better if he would post everything.
ReplyDeleteAgree 12:30,
ReplyDeleteVery annoying that crude, childish remarks routinely get posted but intelligent, sincere criticism never does.
I posted the blog at 12:30, I try to be fair to everyone. So I wouldn't say that Rich does post comments that he disagree with. My main complaint is that he has a personal vendetta against Ronn Ownes, and is a fan of Michael Savage, whenever I defend Ronn, and I'm not a huge fan, and am critical of Savage, I usually have to rewrite my comments 2 or 3 times, before Rich post them. He does not like Ronn, thus don't like anyone defending him, he likes Savage, so although he post comments that are critical of Savage, he has chosen to not post several of my critical comments on Savage.
DeleteHi Rich, I've noticed a lot of YouTubers use Patreon, one can give a monthly throw in any amount. Also, have you ever thought about doing a YouTube channel? I'll be sending you a donation in the coming days. I enjoy your work and I'm not in the business.
ReplyDeleteYes in agreement here too. Ass man/Minden mayor/insult Christine/insult Jews guy (no, I'm not Jewish but I've read where that Minden mayor Sharkey nonsense uses HH88 and other ridiculous bullshit in their posts) gets through daily and I and people I know get censored.
ReplyDeleteIf even half of my comments got posted, never disrespectful or obscene, I would contribute. I comment because I want to contribute to a discussion and look forward to those agreeing or disagreeing with me. Usually am left disappointed and come here less.
