Reply #17: I honestly cant understand why anyone listens to these fools

Because my job had me on the road most of the day, the radio was my companion. It was tough listening to commercial music radio because it was all the same shit and not very good. Until like 1990 talk radio wasn't so bad. Local stations actually had people who could carry on a coherent and logical discussion. With the domination of syndicated content, I just turned it off. If it's music, you've got 10 stations carrying the same stuff up and down the dial. If it's talk radio, you've got the same hand full of opinionated bloviators all across the country. The only selling point I can see for them is as agitators, say outrageous stuff, piss people off, create some controversy. That might get the outlets some ratings to improve the ad revenue. After all, any commercial media is using the audience as slave labor to make money from the advertisers.

My advice is if you can't listen to these tools and laugh at their idiocy and help other people share in your perception, turn it off. I'm sure it will make you much physically healthier, not to mention saving your sanity.
