More accurately, they are PSAs, “Public Service Announcements” which have been run by broadcasters for decades. Maria Bartiromo and others also appear in them, but it’s not a “commercial” and we should not consider it an endorsement, but rather a part of their job. Radio and TV personalities routinely are required to do voiceover or on camera performances as “talent” but they are not endorsing the product or service involved.
Aha, thanks for that info, bigbob. mbrfl, check out bigbog’s comment above regarding PSAs, that’s what Hannity was put on.
