Talk radio poll

Who do you love to listen to?

None of the above.

Blackhorse, where are the left wing talk radio hosts? You have wimpy Allen Colmes, but no Al Franken? No Ed Schultz? I often disagree with Franken and Schultz, but both of them are more entertaining than any of those right wing blowhards you listed. Of the right wingers, I like Michael Graham. My all time favorite talk radio host was Ray Suarez of NPR's Talk of the Nation. He is now a senior correspondent for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

It's not an exhaustive list, just a list of the industry leaders.

Who do you love to listen to?

I voted for Michael Savage, only because I agree with him on several major issues, including national defence and annihilating Islam. However, when he gets on one of his religious rants, I change the station.

In the early 90s, I listened to Rush, but soon he became a self-agrandizing blowhard and now, when he's not stroking his ego, he's either repenting for his misuse of prescription drugs, or stroking the Republicans.

Where I live, I don't get the other hosts on the radio. It's Hannity, Limbaugh, and that no-spin guy who publicly called Dr. Peikoff "Dr Strangelove" on his television program.

Mostly, I listen to news stations, because much of the topics on talk radio are superficial fluff. No one wants to talk about Reason and premises. It's all feel-good talk, peppered with religion. No thanks to that.
