I think that it really sucks that Marc Steiner got canned from WYPR because of "ratings." Ratings?! It's public radio, for gawd's sake! I really have a hard time believing that Dan Rodericks (nice guy that he is...he even had me on his TV show back near the dawn of time) is going to draw more than Mr. Steiner. Knowing what I know about the internal politics of WYPR, I suspect it had a lot more to do with some stoopid new "direction" that management's thinking about than "ratings." I mean, please..."Heats of Space" gets better ratings than Marc Steiner's show?

Anyway, Claire and I were talking about the situation the other day and she had the great idea that someone should make a "Che"-style graphic as a sort of tongue-in-cheek protest against Marc's firing. So, having a bit of time this morning due to the icepocalypse that's closed all the schools, I fired up Photoshop, did a bit of image searching, and came up with this graphic. Feel free to steal and use it as you wish (though I'd be very, very happy if you gave credit to Claire and Sean Carton and linked back to this blog if you do).
