    Hey, if forced simulated drowning until driven psychotic, with your warm piss mixing with the contents of your emptied bowels dribbling thickly down your bound legs (that you'd gladly eat if they'd only stop the torrents of water poured over your cloth-covered face (God dear god please kill me now please kill me now!)) doesn't count as "torture", then surely we'd be small to quibble over "radio sponsor" not counting as "paid spokesman".
    But we don't torture.
    So we won't quibble.

    Although, really: shouldn't Beck shill for Vick's Vapor Rub instead?

    He looks like he eats gold.

    Great big greasy gobs of fattening gold.

    So...he's not being paid by Goldline? Because otherwise, Fox News just put together a semantic word salad that means absolutely nothing. Either he's being paid to shill for them--seeing as 'shill' is what he most definitely is doing--or he's not being paid to shill for them. Which seems unlikely.

    @Mediahohoho: What do you mean? Why, just last week, the Government raised the chocolate ration to 20g! And as we all know, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Please, stop trying to muddy the waters with your inconvenient "facts." Hence, Glen Beck recieving payments from a "Radio" sponsor on his television show does not mean he's a paid spokesman for...ok, I give up.

    Ah yes. Joel Cheatwood.

    I believe he works with Ted Swindleham and Carla Bilkingsworth. I heard he studied at Wharton under the tutelage of Prof. Harold Scamstone.

    I would suggest that company he works for gets some real investigative journalists to find out just what he's doing, but I don't think Faux News has any.

    Of course this comes as no surprise, just like the fact that Fox's "zero tolerance" for on-screen errors policy is meaningless as well. Just look at their response to being called out last week over the magical poll that adds up to 120 percent. [mediamatters.org] [www.mediaite.com]
    "We've always been at war with Eastasia."

    So all the Robust Public Option has to do is shell out some $$$ to hire Beck as their spokesman? If that's the case its totally worth it!

    This is not unprecedented. Don't forget that Fox News reported on the Iraq invasion while simultaneously selling it.

    If Franklin Mint hired him to shill Penelope Pitstop figurines made of spent uranium as a hedge against the Obama Econopolypse, expect Glenn Beck to regularly report on the financial stability of the collectables market.

    Of course, once the idiots "find out" about an investment it's typically time to run screaming in the other direction. It's the Main Street theory - once regular folk are talking about a trade it's time to take the other side. This has been true from dot coms to junk bonds to real estate.

    Also, these "gold shops" disgust me - and people call Wall Street a ripoff.
