Have you changed your talk radio listening choices due to the candidate they support?

Posted on 03/07/2016 5:43:56 PM PST by MNDude

This is the most heated GOP primary I remember by far. It seems like there are very strong supporters and haters of Trump.

Many talk radio hosts seem to take have taken sides. Prager, Medved, Hewitt, (and slightly Glenn Beck) are against Trump.

Limbaugh seems to give Trump moderate support.

I'm wondering if anyone has completely stopped listening to any talk show hosts because of their current stances and comments they may have made about your favorite or least favorite candidate.

I wish he had a wider audience. I found his show completely by accident a couple of years ago.

You can listen to Michael Savage Weiner (D-CA) if you want to hear a gonzo talk host raving about Mr. Trump.

No. Have turned them all off. And since I am not working anymore I am not forced to listen either.

I enjoy listening to John Batchelor interviewing his various guests and authors.

Yup! especially since I had to stop listening to Mark. I too listened religiously but a few weeks ago I had to just quit.

Moved from CA to NH last fall. Used to listen to Bennet, Rush, Hannity, Medved, Levin, Hewitt, Prager. Boston's Jeff Kooner & Howie Carr are so good, I switched to them. No more Rush or Hannity. Can't find Levin, Prager, Medved or Hewitt locally in NHm but don't really miss them - esp RINOs Hewitt and Medved As a Trump supporter, I still tune in to Beck EVERY morning -- listening to his lame, over-the-top blasts at Trump are enormously entertaining and laughable. The egos being destroyed by Trump is a feast for the ears. Talk radio people like Beck and Levin are being driven insane by the fact they can't sway the needle for Cruz and determine the "arc of history" (cue kettle drums) with their little radio shows. They are treating Trump like he's Berine Sandrs, that's what's most bizarre. They love Cruz so much, they need to "get a room" with the guy. It's ridiculous --and makes for hilarious listening!! 😀

Pretty much done with Rush. In fact, after twenty years or so, his voice has actually become quite annoying. Wife still listens, but I tune him out. His primary focus appears to be on nexus searches of his own name.

Medved knew Hillay in college and staffed for a far left politician in his younger years. He’s been adamant that Obama NOT get called a Socialist and says such terms are divisive.

He’s never been ‘on point’.

So I'm Pro Trump but have made no listening changes because of it..... It seem I had already seen the waring signs of who to trust and not trust and made the right picks before Trump every got in

I turned off Beck over a year ago.... he got hard core on the pro gay marriage bandwagon among other things (the on air buswack of Bundy, Beck Obama apology)...he had gone left /nuts a year before Trump got in it so he just confirming my earlier conclusion on Beck

...I tuned out Fox... again well before Trump ....as being GOPe pro immigration... so again thing of late has just validated my opinion

I had my listening down to one..Rush ...well before Trump. ...so again just confirm my instincts

See the root of the Trump hate was if someone was being pro, soft or two-faces on illegals... ..

Medved is pathetic, a total weasel. He may be considered ‘conservative’ in Seattle but he’s pretty much a democrat everywhere else.

Beck “slightly” anti-Trump? Heck, I’d hate to see what full throated anti-Trump would sound like? Stabbing, maybe?

No. I still listen to Levin, Limbaugh, some Hannity & some Mike Gallagher...

I am considering dropping Limbaugh -- listened since '98; remember the first caller Abortion, passing out Kool-Aid outside the DNC before Bush's election, and the tasteless jokes about Kitty Dukakis.

I normally get annoyed by Hannity: you can all but hear his lips moving as he reads the advertising copy to himself; but he is not an open Cruzbot.

I’d say Hannity is probably more pro-Trump than anything.

Yep, watch OANN instead of Fox, (thank you Krauthammer and Kelly), unsubscribed from Levin’s “free” podcasts...that turned into Cruz commercials.

In the morning, I listen to Glennie because he’s the only show in town. When he gets boring, I switch to music. Later, I switch between Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Wilkow. In the early afternoon, I listen to Medved to learn the latest twists in the GOPe party line, but when I get so I can’t stand him, I’ll switch over to Sean Hannity.

I have never really liked Mark Levin. His nasal voice grates on my ears, he is perpetually angry, and he spends too much time talking about his dog, but I’ve been listening to him more often because he is pro-Cruz, as I am. Incidentally, I don’t know of a radio commentator in this market who is pro-Trump, but if there is one, I would like to give him a listen.

One of my favorite programs is Bauer & Rose, but since it is on Sirius satellite radio, I can only listen when I’m in the car.

I used to like Laura Ingraham and John Batchelor, but they disappeared from the airwaves out here.

“...(and slightly Glenn Beck) are against Trump.” SLIGHTLY??
I have a rule when I listen to talk radio. If the host compares anyone to Hitler or Mussolini I permanently tune him or her out...

I used to think Medved was a decent guy. He is so creepy and dishonest with his Trump bashing it’s truly disgusting. Yesterday he was saying that poor people lost “everything they had” in Trump University.

Also attacks all of Trump’s businesses.

I quit listening to ‘talk shows’ both on the radio and T.V. a long time ago...they are all ‘globalists’ and want the New World Order...

I don’t read what the trash they put out, and I don’t listen or hear the trash, I read things that make me wonder just how stupid people really have become...’dumbed down’ is what they call it...

I don’t bother to listen because none of the radio hosts, locally or nationally, are interesting . They all blather about the same recycled crap to promote their candidate. And none of them really want to face the reality of our doomed nation.

I’ve been listening to my Pimsleur Eastern Arabic CDs to and from work.
