Reply #80: Talk radio relies on emotional appeal

[Az]

Whether it is anger or joy. The draw is the shift in emotions you feel while listening to the speaker. This is why hate radio works so well. It gives an emotional lift to those that share the view and justifies their anger. The job of a radio talk show host is not to be clinical, accurate, and consistant. It is to be boisterous, loud, and angry.

Air America Radio is designed for one purpose. To give voice to an angry group of liberals that are tired of having Faux news and Rush drilled into their head every day. It is a retaliation. It is emotional. It is angry. Randi is angry.
