Neil Boortz amuses me, and I actually enjoy Herman Cain, but guys like Hannity and Limbaugh make me ashamed to admit I listen to talk radio. Talk radio needs some good moderate hosts from both sides of the fence instead of angry soap box preachers.
I blame the mindless listeners who'd rather tune in for their daily dose of "what should I believe in" instead of actually forming their own ideas and opinions.
I'm getting really sick of not being able to listen to the news in my car because the angry preachers are my only option. NPR has some decent shows but in Pittsburgh NPR is 90% jazz. I can't understand why there's no desire for non right-wing extremist talk radio.
^^^This is the reason Air America tanked. Who wants to listen to intelligent balanced debate, carefully fact-checked and presented reasonably when you can hear a human jet engine roar up and down in the radio booth?
