Is it ok to pay people to call in on radio/ tv

           Is it ok to pay people to call in on a radio show?  No, I do not believe this is OK because it is fraud. If he mentions that he payed them afterward then yes its perfectly fine but other wise it is not being truthful, you are not showing an honest opinion of the subject. I can see the benefits of hiring the people to call cause otherwise the show will be boring and you might not see the other sides of the statement.However if you ASK people to call in thats different, because then you are NOT paying them.
