Money in the Mix

Re “Logs Link Payments With Radio Airplay,” May 29: Let a radio station music director take a couple of concert tickets to up the rotation on a song the station is already playing and it’s called payola. That’s illegal. Subsequently, heads roll and some station may lose its license.

Let a member of Congress take a bribe to pass a law that is often to the detriment of millions of Americans and it’s called a campaign contribution. That’s legal. Subsequently, eyes roll and nobody seems to care. I just don’t get it.
