Step Right Up Folks - Coast Is Now The Late Night Infomercial

[Meanandnasty]

I know that I have read this in some posts on the forum, however, there is some point from both a professional and ethical point where that line is crossed.

I have heard or read that the Coast guests are not paid for their interviews.  Therefore, their reward or payment is the exposure they get on the show.  They are allowed several times to give out their websites, books and where to purchase them, what television shows they are on and so forth.

Personally, I don't have a great conflict with this, but certain things annoy me and that is when Noory is hawking his own personal venues and casting favors to people he may do business with professionally.  For example, Giaam-TV is bordering on that.  I am wondering if Premiere is getting a cut from this.  The show is not about Noory, go advertise it somewhere else other than Coast. 

Most disturbing to me is the supposedly give back program.  This is first, a guilt trip on Coast fans.  You are made to feel guilty if you do not subscribe, so they can "give back" after you give to them.  Save it already, if you want to give, you choose who and what you want to give to.  Do not let some tax advantage to Noory's income, make you feel bad if you do not give.   It is a veiled disguise to get listeners to subscribe to a service that is in my opinion overpriced.  I might watch Noory on Ancient Aliens, if I must to see the show, but I will not pay for it.

Finally, if Noory and this may have been done, I have not been listening, personally endorses folks on the show as a so called backslap or personal payback that just sucks.  That in my assessment makes Coast the ultimate informercial.  In that instance, Noory, please give back, that is Coast to us so that we may once more have the search for the truth.  Go infomercial somewhere else.

Pretty much my opinion about the "give back". Such a manipulative and cynical misuse of the listeners' impulse to give to charity is reprehensible. Exactly what is the benefit or advantage of having listeners' contributions go through George? After George/PremRad get their take, of course. Disgusting.
