Our most basic rights and freedoms are under an unprecedented assault from a one-party Washington gestapo, while the mainstream press core stands by in bovine stupidity. If you think it will be around forever, think again. The hosts of these shows need to make a living, put food on the table, support their families. Regarding the dearth of variety on talk radio. In the summertime, Cleveland Indians baseball is OK with me sometimes.
Sports talk is just an incredible waste of time.
On the scale of awfulness I would rate this along with Ricki Lake, Oprah Winfrey, Montel, etc. on tv. But seriously when I run through the dial on my radio I get Art on AM 800 Windsor, Ontario, AM 1100 Cleveland, and God knows how many other stations that fade in and out. I don't know who Jim Rome is. Take your pick. Rush used to be somewhat of a conservative commentator.
