Heh heh heh. It is, isn't it.

When Salem carries outside hosts, those hosts or their networks usually pay for the time. I would think Piscopo is paying for his slot on WNYM and selling his own time, unless he attracts way more ad revenue on his own than Salem can get carrying Hewitt (unlikely). In that scenario, Piscopo is his own promoter, hence the over-the-top rhetoric.

Host-voiced commercials are just that. Paid announcements; not to be taken seriously. Most listeners get this. (Though I guess enough don't in order to make the ads worth the money to slot them.)

Brokered revenue is likely why WNYM chops up Prager and Gorka's shows and runs Hewitt on a 21-hour delay. Gallagher is reportedly Salem's highest rated show on its conservative talk stations, but even his first hour runs delayed on WNYM.

I hope Piscopo isn’t actually paying Salem to do his show, which would be sad considering his career highpoint of being on Saturday Night Live.
 
Lots of people were once on the show. Whatever arrangement he has with Salem appears to work for both parties. It seems only you have a particular obsession with the financials and how a company goes about its business.

Principally, Berkshire-Hathaway does not buy gold because it is a commodity. B-H invests in companies, not in gold, grain or oil futures. The only way B-H would invest in gold would be by taking a position in a gold producer.

In the last 52 weeks, Anglo Gold Ashanti is up 47% and Kirkland Lake is up 101%. Both beat B-H significantly. But the industry is cyclical, and Berkshire Hathaway looks for more consistent performers.

Again, the point here is that advertising gold coins or bullion is not illegal on radio or any other medium.

And the fact of the matter is without these advertisers, conservative talk radio would go away.

No major advertisers want to be associated with any political talk. Too divisive.

On radio, anyway. MSNBC, CNN and Fox News Channel all have political talk and not all the ads are for hucksters of dubious integrity. You'll still see new car/SUV/truck ads, for example.

No, because he has a different investment strategy, and a different goal, tolerance, risk profile, and philosophy.

That's a very superficial statement, because different investment strategies are for different people at different times.

Gold is a popular inflation hedge. If that's your goal, then it's a good investment.

Most people want to beat inflation, so investing in Gold is not for everyone. Nor is gold a vehicle for income.

(I wouldn't be surprised if Buffet's comapny BH doesn't invest much in real estate either. Is it because it's a bad investment? No, it just doesn't fit his company's profile, and strategy.
