That's not insane, there are many well respected economists who also feel this way. If I am the marketing director for Goldline, I want to buy time on the show in order to get "targeted traffic" for my advertising budget.

That's like saying that when you watch "Top Gear" on BBC and they talk great things about high-end cars, and then a Jaguar ad comes on, that it's all part of some big conspiracy.

Get it together people.... this is really tin-foil hat wearing kind of thinking here.

Glenn Beck was doing his show, saying the same kind of things, for quite some time before GoldLine became a sponsor. I'm sure they heard it, and thought, "This audience would be a good fit for us!" Simple as that.

The silliness of the original concept of this thread is just over the top.
