I dispute this: "Since newspapers do not have the same space and time constraints as television or radio, newspapers are able to provide readers with more information on both sides of an issue." I could read the newspaper three times and work the crossword puzzle twice in the three hours I spend listening to Rush.
"Mugur Geana used data from a telephone survey administered nationally to 2,528 adults in the United States."
A little over 2500 people are surveyed, and this is the result? There may be a lot of people who have strong opinions who don't write to editors or call radio stations because of the hassle. Who knows?
The left must have decided the drug charges are going for naught so they are attacking radio from another angle.
Err Amerika must be in bigger trouble.
Either way, Rush is going to have fun with this.
Newspapers are dead as a news source. They are only useful for advertising distribution for things like homes, cars, and sunday sales circulars.
TRANSLATION: For a more equitable view of the world, newspaper researchers invite you to turn off Rancid Rush Radio and turn on to Groovy Gray Lady Grape Kool-Aid.
Well analyzed.
You have a wonderful way with words!
Did you notice the article was posted by RFACE?
He only spews leftist crap against conservatives.
MSM newspapers and magazines have lost readers until
those left are hard left. Fox network is killing their
TV competition and talk radio overwhelms Air America.
I LOVE IT
I don't spew ---- others do the spewing. I just report the spew so that you can know where the spew is. Spew is messy and it's best to try to keep it contained ..... otherwise you will one day find yourself covered in spew and that sucks
*snort*
*chuckle*
*GUFFAW!!!!*
*ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!*
In contrast, most radio talk show allow for listener calls. Radio commentators have to defend their opinions on the fly. They hear objections they have never contemplated and they are scolded by experts they never contacted. Liberals do poorly in verbal defense as their opinions are fluffy feelings - - facts are hard to fudge.
Isn't the logic here
the more likely someone is to disagre with liberals the more "extremest" they are.
By this logic if 99% of the public were liberal hating dedicated conservatives then they would be extremists and the 1% would be considered mainstream.
The correct analysis is that the more someone listens to talk radio the more informed they are, the less likely you are to agree with liberals.
Radio Listeners Have Most Extreme Political Views, Newspaper Readers Least.
Radio Listeners Are Better Informed, Newspaper Readers Least Informed
Can anyone find any reference to Rush in the Pew survey? I can't so I'm not sure where they came up with their attributing any view to Rush. Did I miss something?
Pew. The same folks who are funded in part by the Tides Foundation. 'Nuff said.
