Politico discovers that Conservative Talk Show hosts sell ads #rush #tcot #tlot #teaparty

RRD:........and in so doing PROVES!ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!THAT CONSERVATIVES ARE REALLY LIBERALS WHO SOLD OUT FOR THE MONEY!!!!
Just like the editorial staff of the New York Times?
I mean does anyone think,(rolls eyes) that Paul Krugman would write his drivel if he were not PAID to do so?I mean will Krugman now agree,right now,to write editorials for free?No?Why then he clearly must not really believe....etc.etc.

Do these geniuses at Politico stay up all night thinking of these brillant arguments?

....."In search of donations and influence, the three prominent conservative groups are paying hefty sponsorship fees to the popular talk show hosts. Those fees buy them a variety of promotional tie -ins , as well as regular on -air plugs –praising or sometimes defending the groups, while urging listeners to donate –often woven seamlessly into programming in ways that do not seem like paid advertising.".....


Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck sell endorsements to conservative groups - Kenneth P. Vogel and Lucy McCalmont - POLITICO.com

RRD:Seemlessly?Have these people listened to Rush Limbaugh read his Heritage script?Or Levin his Hillsdale or American for Prosperity,or Goldline script?You mean....those WERE ADS!I ....I feel shocked!Shocked & betrayed(and alone,and afraid,in "a world I have not made")that Rush & Levin are not reading these plugs out of the generosity of their hearts.Nor was I suprised,(though I was disappointed) that Limbaugh would try to defend Heritage regarding the Individual Mandate(Levin's defense of Americans for Prosperity,on the other hand,is not at all hypocritical,he would defend them from Obama anyway,though he might devote less time to doing so if they were not a sponsor).But that does not alter the fact that Limbaugh provides good commentary and some good links.I never take anything,anyone says as the gospel truth.The reason I don't is not because they may have a financial incentive,but because I believe people must think for themselves.
