Listening to left- and right-wing talk radio does not give you balance. It just exposes you to two different breeds of charlatan, and two different forms of ignorance.
The elitism shows up again. Talk radio is very popular.
I feel I understand the left better when I listen to the callers on Ed Schultz or Stephanie Miller than I do listening to Meet the Press.
Rush may be a bit out there, but he isnt popular because he told people what to think, he is popular because people who think like him like to have their views affirmed.
