You are correct. What was once required, is no longer. Why did you not simply say that the regulations were changed, if you were already aware of that as a fact? I would have accepted your correction instead of playing this idiotic "gotcha" game?
The fact remains, re-iterated this week by Rush Limbaugh, that he is not paid by Apple to push their products, nor does he receive them gratis from Apple; he buys them. Unless you believe that Rush is in the habit of lying about the products he chooses to endorse, and there is no evidence that he does about any other in such a fashion, nor does he talk about any other product like he does his appreciation—or his few occasional problems, which he has discussed on the air—of his Apple products in his commentary like a "product placement ad" just dropped into his commentary, I think that settles it.
I didn’t know. I just said to myself “this is America, no way do you have to report your advertisers”. That’s why I asked for a link before!
When it comes to money and contracts, lies are not necessarily the same as other lies.
Look, Rush is mostly right, and that’s great. I always defend him against the kind of fag that puts him down on here.
My point is just there’s no need to be naive. Do you think he actually uses that PC backup service as he says? No! It’s an ad. And that’s pretty much OK. Ads are what they are.
Of course he buys the products - the cost of a few products would be negligible compared to the good press they get!
