3. Hey... crack can be expensive.

Sure your first hit is free, but once you're hooked...

On a serious note, I get annoyed at some of the advertising on some of the shows on the progressive side, although most products are like Blue Apron, or those snacks that come pre packaged or Super Beets, which I tried but did nothing for me. I do find it odd that people like Thom Hartmann and Stephanie Miller also feature GOLD, buy your GOLD before the next disaster, which mimics what most right wing shows hawk. The HUGE HUGE difference is that the business model of most right wing shows is to stir up fear in order to sell their generators, survival food, fish pond grow kits, GOLD, etc...

I understand that broadcasting is a business and you have to make a living, but you make revenue by getting people to tune in, by providing a good show, then attracting advertisers who buy advertising space. His claim that he has outlays of $50 million for just his show, is easily provable or debunked, just release your financials Alex.
