the individual-run stations I see, could care less about CARP or any fees
The Cliche Nazi must point out that if you could care less, then you care. Usually however this peversion of a cliche is used to indicate that the speaker does not care. Such carelessness indicates that the speaker is neglecting their cliches, and that makes the Cliche Nazi mad!
The origin of the cliche is simple, obvious and mnemonic, and there is no excuse for getting it wrong:
If you don't care at all then you could not care less
