PAID TO TAKE A POSITION

As a professional radio talk show host, I'm paid to take a stand on all sorts of issues and engage in entertaining and interesting conversation with callers and guests about those issues. I have never been paid to take a particular position on any issue.

Apparently, at least one talk show host doesn't see the problem with taking money to advocate for a particular policy. In my opinion he should be run out of the business for it. If he wants to be a paid advocate, he can become a lobbyist or PR hack.
