Think Progress » Gold Digger! Beck Promotes Investment In Gold While Failing To Disclose His Conflict Of Interest

“So Beck essentially scares his audience into believing that hyperinflation and economic collapse is a near sure thing and then advises them to buy gold to protect themselves,” writes Ryan Witt for the Examiner.com. “All along Beck never mentions that a gold-buying company happens to be one of his few remaining sponsors.”

As Witt notes, eighty companies have stopped advertising on Beck’s show since Color Of Change started its boycott in August. These companies include major names like General Mills, AT&T, Wal-Mart, and Bank of America. Most of Beck’s remaining advertisers are conservative organizations like the National Review or little-known corporations such as…the Superior Gold Group, Rosland Capital, and Goldline International. In fact, during Beck’s gold promotion show yesterday, Goldline ran an ad that said almost exactly what Beck said on his show: Americans should be buying gold because of hyperinflation. Watch it:

Between this and the crappy file software he's peddling, he's really showing how different he is from the rest of the pack. :lol:

so, this is the new journalism, a blog(thinkprogress), and a partisan hack site, quotes another blog(examiner.com), a sketchy site at best, and thats a news story?

and you dont like it when someone points out how you use partisan hack sites

:rolleyes:
 
What is it with conservatives and gold? Rush, Hannity, Savage, Beck....

Liberals don't like gold? I knew they were a stupid lot, but I didn't know they were that stupid. Except for gaybikershitstain, huggy and a few others, I know for a fact they're stupid fucks.


Oh and yes I've invested heavily in gold, I've been doing so for the past twelve years.

Gold is a tradional place where people put their moey when they have doubts about the future purchasing power of that specie.

Given the current US economy, and given the international move to stop using the USD as the medium of exchage for Oil (read petro dollars) , it is hardly surprising that the dollar is dropping against gold.

Glen Beck has every right to tout gold in his editorials.

As long as he is upfront about the fact that his advertisers are also Gold traders, I see no problem with it.

Just remember, that the value of gold can go down as well as up.

The price of gold was over $800 opz. in the late 70s.

If you bought it at the top of the market then, you'd have had to hold it early 30 years to break EVEN on that "investment".

And you all uderstand that a 30 year break even investment really is an enormous loss, right?

An ENORMOUS loss of purchsing power, plus an eormous loss due to the opportunity costs of not having that money to invest during that 30 year period.

If you're playing the gold as an INVESTMENT game, you'd best know what you're doing.

There is none.

The man does not claim to be a NEWS source., so ayone who bets on his advise does so at their own risk.

He also admits that his sponsors are gold traders, so I see no problem with that, either.

I don't like this clown, but I see abolsutely nothing wrong with what he's doing as it regards this issue
 
The people on Air America also push gold. It's advertising a product, people, nothing more. Just regard it as the normal shilling to get one's other message out, right or left.
