    because they want people to think that silver is not a good base for currency. They’ve been like that since Roosevelt went from the Gold Standard to Silver for our monetary system David M

    Because, quite simply, they get paid to. Just like the CBS Evening News gets paid to run E-Lax ads. Evening Telegraph Blog

    I see those ads all over the net. If they’re on the radio, business is all about advertising and rating. Advertising isnt a SIN! If Air Un-America used it, theyd STILL be on the air. Messin with Sasquatch!

    I don’t believe O’Reilly does but I think the rest are accurate. I could be wrong

    People will tell you it’s a conspiracy because they have stock in those companies and they’re just brain washing thier viewers for thier own personal gain but in reality they get paid a ton of money to advertise and because they have so many viewers they can choose which advertisers they want on thier shows. Gold works well for them, what they’re talking about and how the viewers will take the ads.

    These guys are conservatives who are always talking up tax cuts and trashing government spending, what do those things have in common? They both play well into the idea that inflation is coming and it’s gonna come hard. Having inflation will make our money worth less which means what? You should invest in a realiable asset which is?…GOLD! Now we have the real answers. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. They get paid a lot by the companies and it plays into what they’re saying on thier shows perfectly. Common sense for both sides to team up. what the? 515

    It’s economy related. Gold shops are opening up everywhere to buy gold, silver, jewelry because in two to three years the value of the precious metals and jewelry will be worth two to three times as much. It’s not only radio talk shows, also plenty of print ads in newspapers and a few TV ads. With today’s horrible economy folks are looking to trade it whatever they have of worth to pay off bills. BY 2012, gold will be $2,000 an ounce. mac
