damn talk radio

I quit listening to talk radio years ago. They are too extreme in either direction, insult their listeners and callers. Most of these idiots are no smarter than the average listener, just more informed, usually. They have the time to research and stay on top of the issues to make themselves sound smart.

You know we have Internet and tv now do they even sell radios any more lol

Or local news. They sound as bad with their breaking news and stories
about what we need to know as if they are the only source. Bunch of
screaming idiots, especially the weather folks. They are not bad people, they just sound ridiculous.

SiriusXM is the way to go.

Newsprint is suffering because of the Internet but TV and talk radio are doing just fine. That's because TV and talk radio can get people all riled up using the same facts and same stories. That emotional delivery of the news is what keeps viewers coming back...and what ultimately pays the bills.

The people with the most success are the people that are the most extreme (Rush, Glenn Beck) and have the most easily agitated audiences (Dittoheads, Fox News viewers, right wingnuts, and other assorted idiots). The proof of this is when you take Rush's words or Beck's words and translate them into print. That gets rid of most of their overblown 'theaTRICKS' and they just fall flat. without all of the hot air and fake crying they are just, well...lame and stupid.

hey monger, what would happen if beck or rush would have said that about obama?

They'd be wrong, comparing apples to oranges. While extreme candidates can win a party primary, they can't win a general election. Agree or not, Obama is a very centrist President.

Who is Obama going to run against in 2012? Ron Paul, LOL?

doesnt matter. its the economy stupid and if it doesnt improve obama is out. and he knows it.

Even tho it was Tina Fey it could have been Palin.
