it begs the question how much "due diligence" the media puts into who they let pay for advertising.
i hate when QR does spots for these types of investments. shouldnt a station like QR be an advocate for its listeners, considering their format?
its one thing to let them advertise, but its another thing to be a shill for them. like someone else said, if these guys are advertising for joe public, it shouldnt be hard to figure out that institutional investors have told them no thanks. really, not many businesses outside of retail would prefer dealing with the public over commercial options.
i think if i am a radio personality, i wouldnt be so quick to "speak" on behalf of companies like this. wasnt David Jones a guest on "speak with the experts"?
