This is absolutely true of WBAI. The quack Gary Null has a daily show, and his premiums - which he sells to the station at an unmodest wholesale price - bring in big bucks at pledge time. He's not the only quack on the air, either. Null and his other quack colleagues urge parents not to vaccinate their children, which borders on the criminally irresponsible, I'd say.
