Just to set the record straight, Keiser never held a high paying position within the BBC..
Looks like you may be technically correct in one respect, i.e., he appears to have funded the show entirely on his own. Of course, what makes having a show on the BBC lucrative goes far beyond salary.
But here's a Max Keiser quote on the issue:
"We were told repeatedly from our BBC executives while producing
The Oracle with Max Keiser on BBC World News that any mention of Israel was completely off limits and that this was a matter of unofficial policy. The reason this became a bone of contention was that I was paying for the entire production out of my own pocket and did not appreciate being censored like that. I felt as though I had no choice but to stop doing the show. I�m sure the above mentioned report makes clear the BBC�s bias and this is why the BBC has chosen to spend �350,000 of UK tax payer money to cover this scandal up."
