The fat bag of douche that is Limbaugh, among others, has been using ringers to call his alledged show and ask scripted questions. This allows him to easily play the lickspittle to the delusional protion of the right wing with greater ease. Is anyone surprised?

According to a recent report in Tablet Magazine, Premiere Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, hired actors to call in as guests.
A website for the Premiere On Call service was taken offline before the report was published, but a cached version of the website is still available.
However, when Raw Story contacted Premiere's entertainment division, one individual who spoke off the record claimed that the service was still being offered.
"Premiere On Call is our new custom caller service," the website said. "We supply voice talent to take/make your on-air calls, improvise your scenes or deliver your scripts. Using our simple online booking tool, specify the kind of voice you need, and we’ll get your the right person fast. Unless you request it, you won’t hear that same voice again for at least two months, ensuring the authenticity of your programming for avid listeners."
An audition request form asked actors to sign a confidentiality agreement promising not to divulge details of their work.
"By requesting an audition you are also agreeing to keep the details of the audition and the type of work that you may perform confidential. This applies to information acquired while working for Premiere or any of its affiliates," the agreement said. "Disclosure to any third party, sharing project information or publicizing what you do (including via social media) may be considered grounds for dismissal or further action."

Suddenly I am reminded of AiG and their silly statement of faith. They're a little short in the honesty department as well.

Wow... I thought everyone just assumed that. Heck... I used ringers on the school radio station in 1985. Ringers are generally found at political rallies, to either make the subjects look smarter, or stupider.
The only thing really worth remarking on is the stupidity of having a deceitful business plan, and then advertising it. Who do they think they are... politicians? |
