Internet is killing talk radio.

Who really wants to listen to give minutes of talk, followed by ten minutes of commercial?

I get my info from FR, Drudge, and other sources.

Limbaugh and the World Wide Web are of the same vintage.

And speaking of commercials, it's gold, economic collapse, retirement that no one can afford, car commercials, cheap loans ,refinancing, reverse mortgages, mesothelioma, credit card debt.

By the time the commercial break is over I am having an anxiety attack.

People stuck in long commutes will keep talk radio going.

But the Internet is a much better source of news.

I’m done with most Conservative talk radio hosts. Their definition of conservatism is different that mine.

I think the problem is the messengers and not the message.

I have always like Mark Steyn when he substitutes for Rush. And Michael Savage is still good IMHO.

I think the current Levin, Hannity, Rush triangle is the problem. They have a monopoly that needs to be broken up. And I suppose the only way to break it up is to stop listening.

Yes. Especially the ones that support the GOPe.

“Vote for the lesser of 2 evils!”
“The GOP candidate can’t win if they’re not electable”

Although conservative talk show hosts profess a belief in free markets, many conservatives are re-thinking other positions and seeking answers for rarely discussed topics.
The necessity for military interventions in almost every corner of the world.
Multi lateral trade deals, multi-national crony capitalism and monopolies, corruption and black ops at the CIA, DEA etc, Shadow government, government conspiracies and cover-ups. Vaccines, GMOs, emerging police state.

Because most talk shows are broadcasted by large corporations such as Clear Channel, talk show hosts are not free to expose government corruption because of government licensing concerns and opposition by certain advertisers.
