Media & Politics: Your Tax Dollars (and donations) at Work Part II

I'm a big fan of MPR /American Public Media and was quite surprised to find out how much MPR President Bill Kling makes in a year.

From the Strib Article:

On the 2004 tax return, MPR listed the names and salaries of 13 officers or trustees, 12 of whom earned more than $100,000. Kling received $326,700 in salary, pension and benefits, and incentive compensation at MPR. He earns roughly an additional $218,000 from American Public Media Group, the parent company of MPR.

Knowing this, does this make you more or less likely to donate to MPR?
