Huckabee was hired by Fox after failing to secure the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He frequently used his eponymous program to bolster his own political ambitions, announcing his own possible presidential run on his final broadcast.
Media Matters looks back at how Huckabee rented his Fox-promoted email list out to an assortment of scamsters and conspiracy theorists (originally published here).
Mike Huckabee, who is parting ways with Fox News, has profited from renting his Fox-promoted MikeHuckabee.com email list to a wide range of shady characters, including a medical quack claiming Alzheimer's disease cures; a for-sale stock pundit that was fired from Fox; a financial firm that was fined by the government for engaging in "deliberate fraud"; and a survival food company that profits off of readers' fears of being "herded into FEMA camps."
Huckabee has previously denied responsibility for his shady sponsored emails, telling Media Matters: "You are supposed to read the disclosure and the disclaimer that is a part of the messages. You know, we are simply the conduit to send messages, these are sponsored and I can't always vouch for the veracity."
Huckabee's willingness to turn a blind eye to the charlatans renting his email list is part of a larger trend of conservatives happily scamming their followers for money.
Fox News helped grow Huckabee's email list, as Fox and the former Republican governor regularly promoted MikeHuckabee.com on his weekly program Huckabee. When visitors reach Huckabee's website, they're asked to sign-up for his email list.
are there any republicans that ran and were elected that actually took their oath of office seriously or are they all just riding the right wing gravy train? this guy is a charlatan and a huckster i wrote this on this blog about 3 1/2 years ago where he advises his voters to vote more than once right in the middle of republicans pushing voter fraud as the reason to suppress Progressive votes when it was clear who were the frauds.
