I find it sad that on an almost daily basis a handful of posters (one posting on this thread) need to put hosts down with comments such as "mere sales people", "only sales people", "just sales people."

 

Sales is a noble and honorable profession as much as any,  and the repeated comments are insulting to those in sales.

 

But I guess those posters worked in much, much more lofty and prestigious professions according to their arrogant bias.


 

There is nothing wrong with being a salesperson.

 

The problem is that Q wants viewers to feel like family, to consider hosts family, to get "close" to hosts. I find that amusing since we don't know them and never will. All we see is their on-air persona.  I don't get attached to people on tv no matter what they do.

I agree, and these posters repeatedly put down other posters with the tired comment  "the hosts aren't your friends" and  "they're salespeople and I don't care what they do" if even one person asks about them.  So condescending.
