Major news networks have all rejected two animated television spots developed by Phoenix-based Swiss America Trading Corp. depicting Ben Bernanke and President Obama printing money with abandon, and promoting ownership of gold and silver as protection against this policy.
The ads have been rejected by Fox, Fox Business, CNBC, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, & the Discovery Channel.
The state-run media.
It’s not properly created propaganda! I’m not joking!
Silver as a protection against inflation? The commercials must’ve been rejected for being brain-dead stupid.
If you had a few bucks and wanted to keep some value in the face of runaway inflation, what would you buy?
Certainly not silver, LOL.
Politicians.
FOX has been Obamabot for quite some time now. To my knowledge there are no more conservative TV channels, and talk radio is getting wimpier every day.
I gathered that, but what is a better alternative?
So glad you’re a financial expert that understands the silver market. Also its history in countries that have destroyed their currencies. I won’t go into Government/ Big Bank manipulations to keep the price low. So, how is it that I can buy a gallon of gas with a dime?
They need to use youtube, it will be seen by more people.
Silver was $5.00 a oz in 2000 and now is about $32 a oz. That kind of a gain is no protection against inflation. How silly to invest in silver.
Are these the spots they intended to use? Animated Pat Boone! Not great production value, the message is better than the animation: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/tv.php
You forgot the sarcasm tag
Imagine what a hedge wheat might be against inflation, if I get to choose my data points. LOL
Silver was nearly $50 an ounce in 1980. Now it's about $32 an ounce. Did it protect against inflation over the last 31 years?
That being said, he had a large position in silver, and admitted it. He also said that silver was for the big boys, and those who can ride the waves. In other words, not for some bozo watching a stupid ad on CNBC.
I listen to goo people on talk radio so I don’t know about that. But Fox News is becoming GOP controlled and an arm of the republican establishment in a lot of ways. You don’t see Michelle Malkin as often as you did last year for example. You see more Lying democrats like Jehmu Greene and Bob Beckel and Glenn Beck left.
There are many reasons why Beck left. But I wonder if he was getting heat over wanting to do things and say things that he came online but couldn’t on tv at Fox.
We have a bunch of rinos at Fox News like Bill O’Reilly and Shepard Smith who are worth ignoring now. Even Guests like Dennis Miller, Bernard Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer and Karl Rove are misguided.
So they are showing there true colors now after pretending to be conservative between 07 and 2010.
But it was $31 yesterday, and $32 today!
I listen to good people on talk radio so I don’t know about that. That is my opinion. I follow Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Dana Loesch, Rush Limbaugh, sometimes Roger Hedgecock, sometimes Jesse Lee Peterson and sometimes Neal Boortz. I tuned out of other shows due to lack of time. Often time use podcasts to hear shows overnight or weekends.
