Default NewsMax scams

Whenb I browse the web to read news, I often see paid advertisements
that are disguised as news links (example "Why Billionaires are
dumping their stocks").

Those often lead to NewsMax, and feature very scripted, uncritical
infomercials, disguised as interviews. Those infomercials sell bogus
financial books (such as "Aftershock") and subscriptions.

Any half sane person any decline to pay any money for any of those
books and services, just because of the way they are dishonestly
advertised. And yet, advertising continues unabated, no doubt because
it actually works.

I find the sheer volume of all this false advertising to be extremely
annoying. But additionally, I wonder if they place those ads in
conservative magazines because conservaties are particularly
gullible. In other words, if snake oil is advertised in a
"conservative" publication, then conservatives buy it uncritically?

WTF?

You are correct Ig.

Conservatives ARE more guillble than the general public.

They are as a groups less educated...much less.

They are subject to reacting on emotion rather than intellect...fear,
guilt, that is why you see the Flag and the Cross used so much to sway
them.

They love the Faux Network while hating PBS.

If my goal in life was to just make easy money, I would target
conservatives...easy pickings.
