The Randers see her as some kind of status symbol.

Oh boy! Is this a new made-up word from Nachi? Hooray! Expanding the non-vocabulary is ALWAYS exciting!

Edit: I that first paragraph (which should probably be two), I meant that “one would assume Fox is charging more per minute (primetime) than either of it’s competitors”. I really didn’t mean to repeat myself, it was an editing error.

If we were to follow this fellow’s logic, then the ad prices on Fox primetime should be less per-viewer than those charged by CNN. This may very well be true, but if anything, Walmart has taught us the economy of scale. I don’t have access to the numbers, but one would assume that Fox is making a higher total gross (primetime) than either of its competitors.

Again, I don’t have the numbers and before I get hit, they were only examples, but…

I also don’t know the dollars banked by his two print examples, but one assumes they appeal to a higher income, more educated reader, who would naturally be worth more per-inch to a certain class of advertisers, but how does their gross compare to National Enquirer?

Pretty accurate. The Randers see her as some kind of status symbol. They can’t possibly understand her. She didn’t even understand herself.
