AAR and an advertizing question.

Why do they need overstock dot com?

It is pretty obvious that AAR listeners should question this company's political ties before they buy.

1. They are in business and they need to have advertisers

Besides, the average joe has no idea if overstock is red or blue, or even cares. The great thing is that AAR get the advertising dollars, and we get AAR.

2. Depends On Where You're Hearing The Commercial

That may not be AAR airing it...it might be your local station or another network they're affiliated with. For example, some AAR affiliates use other networks for their top of the hour news and part of the deal is the station must air network commercials...and have no say on what those commercial are.

Also, AAR relies on advertising agencies to sell their airtime...especially the "off-peak" hours. This is usually sold in bulk to "resellers" who then sell the cheap rates to companies such as overstock. AAR itself never deals with overstock, just the company that sold all the spots.

Honestly, if I were AAR, I'd take every Repugnican cent I could get and go for more.

3. this is online

I understand your point. But my concern is this.
If you buy from a Repub donor company, you fund
your own oppression.

I understand they need to make money. I also wish they could sell blue.
