I can not PROOVE that FCC crimes are happening. Just as with ANY crime
(abduction, embezzlement, etc.) the overwhelming APPEARANCE of a crime
is enough to initiate an INVESTIGATION by the proper agency. If the
books show money missing from a business or government account- an
investigation is started. If a talk show host continually lies about
consumer products and at the same time- reaps in ad contracts for
those products or a subsidiary product- an investigation should be
made (interviewing insiders for instance) as to the INTENT of the
DECEPTIONS.

OK. Listen to those "lies" and tell me which advertiser is running a
schedule that might have resulted from the inaccurate opinions. Most
major advertisers shy away from controversial talk. That's why you'll
hear the Conservative Digest, Hooked on Phonics, Oreck Vacuum Cleaners
and similar accounts. They're heavy network advertisers. I can't
remember the last time I heard an oil company spot in a radio talk
show.

There aren't even pharmacutical companies advertising the drugs
Limbaugh uses. Not only is he defending their use, he's contributing
significantly to their bottom line. Still, no ad budget for his show.
That sounds pretty unappreciative on the part of the companies.
