I think you are right, Windflier, that we Freepers are ahead of so many “back benchers” these days.
I've caught Hannity being ignorant about cutting edge news so many times, that I'm no longer surprised when he's clueless about a breaking development.
He's pretty good on the purely political info, but beyond that, he doesn't seem to stay on top of much else.
Of course, O'Reilly beats even Hannity at being out of the loop .. LOL
Local talkers can be even worse - to the point where you're facepalming and shaking your head every half hour.
