I was at my in-law's house last week and they're big FOX watchers, but I noticed something that was...weird.
There were a staggering number of ads for gold buying. Literally 3 or 4 every commercial break.
I started paying attention over the next couple of times I went over and it's the same thing.
Why does FOX, and I've only seen it on FOX, run SO many gold ads?

"Three or four gold ads every commercial break (literally!!!)"
Haven't watched Fox lately. But am gonna go out on a limb and suggest you are just making crap up here......
.
market demographics
ignorant, uneducated viewers
easily manipulated
rely on the words of others instead of facts
respond to fear and threats
faux news is a goldmine (weak pun intended)
I invite you to turn the TV on and take a look. Why exactly would I make this up?"Three or four gold ads every commercial break (literally!!!)"

It doesnt, it's just odd.Fox does have a lot of gold commercials - Rosland Capital, Goldline and I think another one. :shrug: I don't know why that's so bothersome.

Chill. No one is saying it's a bad thing (at least I'm not) Car commercials are common on EVERY station as are Cialis commercials. I almost never see gold commercials on other stations and I have NEVER in my LIFE seen as many as I'm seeing now on FOX.How is it odd? I also see a lot of car commercials on FNC, is that odd? You got something against gold?
And here I was thinking this was a free country and people should be able to advertise what they want, when they want, without people analyzing them.
What if it would be MSNBC advertising gold? I bet shoes to ****pots you'd be buying it up by the truckload. It's because the evil "Fauxnews" (said only by faux forum members) has it on.
Who the hell cares? I see tons of Cialis commercials on other stations. Why isn't that raising an eyebrow, amongst other things of course? :lamo
More than 200 companies have joined a boycott of Beck’s program, making it difficult for Fox to sell ads. The time has instead been sold to smaller firms offering such products as Kaopectate, Carbonite, 1-800-PetMeds and Goldline International. A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers.
Think Progress » Apple and other advertisers have ‘abandoned’ Fox News because of Glenn Beck.

You make a very good point. LOLThe hatred for these gold ads is hilarious and amazing. Just gold ads dudes, big deal. If a bunch of ignorant racist republicans are investing in gold they wont be able to invest in campaigns so think about how great this is, fox hating liberals.
It doesnt, it's just odd.
What's so odd? Their audience apparently buys gold. Big deal. Disney Channel's audience buys Justin Bieber downloads and silly bands so that's where those commercials are. Companies advertise to their consumers. That's not odd...that's smart business.
Are they selling these toys as security againsst the dollars collapse?
It's because Fox news is the origin of the fearmongers who said that U.S. currency will be useless in under 10 years and that gold will be the only reliable standard to fall back on, thus we should all be buying gold. It is only natural then that the demographic who was subjected to the hysteria would in turn be the demographic that the gold gets sold to.
