Dear Editor: This morning when I logged onto CNBC’s Website, I came across a poorly-written, insensitively-timed article with the “Do Not Donate Money To Japan†teaser written by Mr. John Carney, just days after the horrific earthquake and tsunami. www.cnbc.com/id/42076147 This is blanket discouragement against donating to Japan disguised as concern over allocation of charitable […]
