Gould,

I agree that the talk radio propaganda shows do have a large audience,
what
I disagree with is that the majority of conservatives listen to them. To
have the majority of conservatives listening to talk radio, they would
have
to have approx. 50,000,000 people tuning into talk radio, normally during
the working day. The majority of people work and do not have the ability
to
listen to talk radio during the day, even if they wanted to, which I am
not
certain they would want to.

The few times I have listened to talk radio, the majority of the
conversation is "entertainment" and like the tabloid newspapers, some of
what they say is correct, it is just very hard to figure out the BS from
the
facts.

I think you put too much credence into the size of their audience and
those
that believe everything they say.


The liebrals just believe that the same must be true about the conservatives
that is true about liebrals....i.e. what ever the talking points spew out,
that is what ever good liebral must believe......look at krause and
asslicker....... :-)

The primary thing most people I know have picked up from talk radio is to
question so called 'stats' and to look beyond the sound bite, and not to
look toward guvmint to solve all your problems.

It may not be the attitude of most liberals, but we see it everyday in
the
posts made by Harry, jps, bb and Basskisser. What you do not
understand
is
that the majority of conservatives do not listen to talk radio, Rush or
any
of the other talking heads who spew propaganda.


While you may sincerely believe that most conservatives do not listen to
the
radio propaganda, those shows have the largest listening audience, by
far,
of
anything on the radio. Somebody is listening, and probably only about
5-10% of
the audience are liberals like myself trying to get some advance
indication of
what the "talking points" for the following week are going to be.

As regularly as clockwork, whatever spews forth on Hannity, Limbaugh,
Savage,
etc will be repeated almost verbatim by millions of zealots within a
very
few
days.

The left is no less guilty, just not as well organized. :-)
