But no, Howard isn't a hypocrite or anything.

They're not that new, but I fully agree.

Robin tried to justify and say she would like to make....club soda! Yeah....http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/i...s/rolleyes.gif

I love Robin and that want to make this about her, but one of the oddest thing I've heard her say more than once (and I think Gary or Howard might have even called her on it) was that she didn't believe McDonalds would ever be their sponsor because then all the crap involved in their foods would really exposed? Does she mean by them...or by the media in general? Cause let's face it...Howard has had the dregs of society (Ashley Madison as well as a few things that are just total scams) advertise on their and have never had a bad word to say about them.

If it is the media theory, I don't think EVERYONE is against the Stern show that much anymore. In fact, it's becoming more and more forgettable as it goes on. Listen to those kids today. They probably really didn't know who Howard was?

Winner! But yeah, that doesn't necessarily mean he believes in the sponsor. It's just that Sirius believes in their money.

But Taylor is also 100% true. It's a tricky world. Howard just lives in it.

Do you really want Howard to tip toe on his opinions even more to protect sponsors? If he's not a hypocrite people will criticize him for not giving his opinions.

Ferrall likes to talk about Guiness a lot but here and there he throws in a "but gotta love Bud Light" since they are a sponsor. It's impossible to please everyone on this topic. Either the advertisers or listeners will be pissed.

People need to lose the attitude that making money is bad. That's very scary to me cause it says that people are really out of touch with how things work.

Sirius believes in their money? This is a SODA MAKING MACHINE not a death ray! People lighten up.

But let's be realistic, Howard would sell crack to babies to make a buck.

If that's true, where's the T-shirts? Where's the posters? DVDs?

He doesn't have one product with his name on it.

Again, you are damming someone for working for a living. Yeah, he makes huge money BUT the companies he works for make huge money off of him. A lot more than he makes.

I've noticed they have been having a lot more mainstream commercials. from actual movies, to bud light.

BTW, between 7:30am and 9am this morning - 3 commercial breaks. Seemed like more than usual.

Amen. It's easy for us to sit here on the internet and say that we would handle that kind of money differently. . . .

Someone give me the cash! I'm willing to see what happens. . . . for science that is. . . .and the little people.

Oh, true... totally forgot about that. I can see a day when the advertising goes up even more so. It is painfully apparent now that Howard only signed with SiriusXM because he knew he could systematically scale back on the amount of actual work he does. I get that he wants to wind down but this is not winding down, this is scamming the subscribers, to some extent.

I won't go off of a rant, but you get my point.
