Why is AM talk show so unlistenable? And what’s with the pathetic sponsors?
August 31st, 2011Have you ever tried to listen to the popular AM talk show hosts? It almost seems there is more commercial than program. But what really sucks is that the same old commercials play over and over-so many times they give you a headache after just one night of listening.
If that is not bad enough, look at the kinds of products sold. I swear half of what they advertise is financial products for people who can’t manage a budget. What the heck kind of people must listen to those programs on a regular basis then? The smartest people-as they say??? Then the sex aids, adrenaline pills, stuff for aching bodies etc. They do have a few normal vendors but most are really pathetic products. The kind of stuff you go to Wallgreens at midnight wearing a trench coat and ski beenie cap to buy.
How on earth does anyone sit and listen day after day? I tried but turning my radio off and on for the commercials is demanding and distracting-there are so many of them.
Figures I’d get at least one mindless insult. If you write something, make it intelligent and have a point. Oh I am a gold bug myself. I do like to keep some physical assets but the gold salespeople are trying to push the physical stuff way too much. ETF’s make lots more sense as do foreign and domestic gold stocks. Too much overhead with physical gold and too difficult to leverage and short. Risk of theft, delivery fees, premiums added to bullion price, etc. They push physical gold over alternatives but give no good reasons why-just fear mongerings.
have you forgot their main advertisement?
buy gold! buy gold! buy gold!
