The Problem with Conservative Talk Radio

No, it's not that it's conservative. That's fine, especially with me, since I'm conservative. And seldom wrong.

What's wrong with conservative talk radio is its widespread reliance on advertising from scam artists selling bogus herbal remedies, diet aids, vision-improvement programs, breath-improvement programs, and work-at-home ponzi schemes.

How can someone who uses the airwaves ostensibly to uphold the time-honored values of Western Civilization and the Judaeo-Christian religious traditions take money to advertise people who are effectively lying to make a fast buck?

I urge all the big conservative radio talkers, all of whom read this blog daily for program ideas, to stop advertising the Three-Step Plan, the See Clearly Method, the Bad Breath Bible, and others of their ilk. You have nothing to lose but money, and nothing to gain but credibility.

And you read it here first: as SWNID's readership grows and advertisers ask to buy space on this page, we will accept no scamvertising. Period.
