Ms. Lori Ann Krushefski

"It's about feeding those needs rather than ratcheting up numbers," said Lori Ann Krushefski, WNYC's director of marketing and communications.

Conservatives have argued that liberals can't complain about right-wing commentators like Rush Limbaugh because they've got National Public Radio.But research shows that public-radio listeners come from across the ideological spectrum and also differ greatly in income levels.More likely than not, though, the average listener has been to college at some point.

"The thing that really unites the audience most frequently is level of education," Krushefski said.

When I wrote back to complain, my e-mail was answered by Lori Ann Krushefski, manager of WNYC Listener Services.Ms. Krushefski apologized for the remark, stating it was not their intention greet their e-mailers with pro-Nazi slogans.She stated, "Please accept my apologies for this unfortunate typo."

A "typo"!I don`t think so.I complain about anti-Jewish/Israeli coverage by this media outlet and I receive a Nazi salutation from their listener services department.Coincidence?I think not.As a college professor, I grade a fair number of papers and receive a lot of e-mail correspondence.I have yet to get a Nazi salutation in the guise of a typographical error in any midterm paper or e-mail letter to date.
