There's no mention of payment. There might be none. But even if they get paid, getting paid to do an interview for TV is not the same thing as getting paid by a political party to protest.

Why would you need to pay people? This election is the most polarized election in the modern era.

Orrrrrrrr it's fishing for 'actors' to be "protagonists" just like the ad states. It's a freaking CL ad. But that's just one example. Oh also there was a massive protest there the past 3 days. Yeah.. let's call it a casting call.
Certain people are notorious for hiring protagonist actors to instigate unrest and escalate in mob scenarios.

remember when you told us that there's an unwritten rule of journalism that says they
have to publish the truth, doesnt that ad state just the opposite, they're paying
someone that's a hillary supporter to show up at a protest to be interviewed, do you
think they wouldnt be able to find a few hillary supporters already there at the
scheduled protest?

A lot of media organizations use craigslist. I once spoke on a major radio news station because of a craigslist ad they had posted.

That ad was posted for the entire LA County Craigslist area, and guess what, only 4 people showed up to talk on the show.

So, I have a really hard time believing they could get more than a couple people to show up with such an ad. There's no evidence that TV station was even paying, chances are if it's just an interview there's no payment.

The ad doesn't mention payment at all. If it's just an interview they might not offer payment at all. I never heard of anybody getting paid for a TV interview, except for maybe minor celebrities or if you're a person of interest in a story thats trending and going viral.

Even Dr. Phil and those types of shows don't pay  people to come on their show.

I know a lot of media organizations use CL, so do a lot more shady fuckers. I'm not even saying it's not a Media organization.
I'm not even saying that ad is necessarily trying to recruit "protagonists" for a protest, even though that's exactly what it says..these are "key words" by the way, I don't know if you are familiar.
Just that this sort of thing happens, quite a lot. You don't believe people are ever paid to protest and cause unrest? K.

Shit happens all the time, don't be so naive. You think protests around the country spring up organically, grassroots style overnight? Lol.
These are bought and paid for. Sure, a large number of those people are just people that showed up or hillary supporters or whatever. Who do you think organized it?

Also the left controlled media is the driving force behind the problem and the hysteria in the first place, so I don't see your point at all.

why are they seeking hillary supporters to come to an anti-trump rally? wouldnt it
stand to reason that most of the protesters at an anti-trump rally would be a
hillary supporter?

Paid or undercover protestors are certainly a thing, I just don't think that particular ad is an instance of it.

Why not just go in the hood and offer some homie standing on the street $200 to do a job for you. No risk of drawing attenation to yourself. Those people from those kind of areas don't talk either or go running to the media or police, they won't go blabbing about it to everyone.

You'd think making a posting like that on Craigslist would not only draw attention as to what pepole are doing, but it would also draw undercover Trump supporters or undercover cops.

I'm not saying that ad is an example of it, it may or may not be.. it's very suspicious though. It's just some evidence that it's a thing. Certainly people are picked up off the street as well. But CL is as good an avenue as any.

I do see Pris point. Why would you need to have someone show up I'm fairly certain there are plenty there. That seems sort of ridiculous.

I can pretty much guarantee if I was making a CL ad looking for actor instigators for protests, I wouldn't just come out and say it on the ad, but I would use certain key words. Such as the ones used.

Hey yeah sup I'm Han with Major European News Network.. here's $20.. wear this and hold this and scream this and go run in that crowd you're gonna be famous!!

A lot of people only voted for Hillary because they felt they had no choice after Bernie wasn't chosen, not many people were that passionate about her and many had bad things to say about her.

I'm guessing this company specifically is looking for a Hillary supporter that truly stands with her on a lot of issues, is very vocal and makes a loud and convincing argument for why he or she supports Hillary. Like a really big fan of hers.

Also Springer is different. Springer is one of those talk shows that pay, because they're looking for people with outrageous stories they pay people to basically be actors. I was once sent a message on MySpace by somebody working for Springer trying to recruit me to do an episode on the show.

I declined it, because well it's springer, only low lives go on that show. And they were paying almost nothing, it was like $150 or something. I'm sure they offer more pay if you throw a chair or do some shit that makes you look ultra ratchet.

they all pay, Dr.Phil doesnt hand you a check, he pays for your plastic surgery,
your tummy tuck your what ever the fuck it is you're wanting but he's still paying
you to be there just like all the others. they all pay and the scale is $500 for
the appearance. the screen actors guild demands $750 for actors promoting their
work to go on shows like letterman and leno.

That's true, Dr. Phil pays for your medical bills or private investigation or counseling or whatever you need. They don't give you a physical check though.

But it depends on the show. Reality TV shows like the Bachelor or Dating Naked don't pay contestants at all. But you do get a nice vacation to wherever they are filming.

But for news stations, they usually don't pay people getting interviewed for their daily stories.

They might pay for an important piece of video footage, like if you are the only person that has video footage of cops beating a homeless person to death, that footage is worth about $5,000 if you sell it to ABC or whatever. But for just getting interviewed, they usually don't pay unless you're a person of interest in a story.

so doctard phil lied when he said he doesnt pay his guests. he pays, he just
doesnt cut the check directly to them. most shows cut a check directly in addition
to expenses, many even advertised at the end of the show what they paid to appear

so they are in fact paying you, they just arent cutting you a check... except that
most of them are getting a check, it varies, some are paid per episode, some are
paid per day and the final pay can also vary widely

so you take the word of a craig's list ad that clams it's a TV station doing
interviews, seeking a hillary supporter to appear at an anti trump protest
that's already filled with hillary supporters

not only are you bad at making shit up, you're gullible
