>>It's really bad here. We have a couple of news reporters (ya know - the people that are SUPPOSED to be objective) that are making ads for these companies. Glenn Beck from Fox news is the worst. He gets on his TV show - tells everyone that America is over, the economy is done - only thing to do is ...buy gold! Then - you watch TV ads - and there here is - doing ads for Goldline! He even tells people to "pray about it" - then call Goldline! OMG! I've got stuck watching the ad once because my TV remote had slipped into the dark depths of my couch - it was enough to make a person want to puke. I find it disturbing that Fox news would even allow such a thing to do on - like "conflict of interest" comes to mind...duh!

>1) It started when he worked for CNN
>2) Fox makes an exception for commentators who are also radio show hosts (I don't get that one)
>3) It makes for great humor on the Jon Stewart show :o) Air America also made a hilarious skit mocking him for it.
