Rush, Beck, Savage and Rusty Humphries pretty much round out my day. Best guest hosts are when Steyn fills in for Rush and Dwight Schultz fills in for Rusty. Laura Ingraham gets an honorable mention. All of the above are better than Hannity. The one I truly find repulsive is Boortz.
I look at Beck and Hannity this way: In some areas Beck gets an A and in others he gets a C, for an average grade of B. Hannity gets a B in everything, for an average of B.
Sean is boring IMO.
I have trouble listening to Beck show because of all the banter, it seems like a show of committee.
Mark Levin is a true pitbull for our side.
I like Hannity, but can’t stand listening to him mostly because of the way of his voice inflections. He always talks in a sing song way...with his voice going up at the end of each sentence. It drives me crazy.
Not to mention, he is repetitive and same story lines over and over.
I love Beck and listen to him every day. Although sometimes, I get kind of depressed after listening to him, but I’d rather know what is happening, than stick my head in the sand and be taken by surprise. It’s no wonder so many are attacking Beck...he’s so on point.
I usually start my day with the local guys in Phx - Barry Young and Michella-Carella-Buffy-Lee-Larson (on 550KFYI) and then switch to internet streaming of Limbaugh and then Beck.
I can’t STAND Savage. Haven’t ever listened to Levin.
Hannity is so - so, and Beck is somewhat good; but O’Reilly is an obnoxious motormouth who interrupts, who won’t let guests finish sentences.
I listen to Beck while working on the garden, and catch his television show if the subject matter interests me...I can actually LEARN something from Beck, who has a crack research staff.
In my radio market (Dallas - Ft Worth) Hannity is the only game in town between the hours of 2PM and 5PM. Michael Medved is on a competing radio station, but he’s even harder to listen to.
For what it’s worth, my impression of Sean is that his heart is in the right place, but he’s dismally naive for someone in his position. The number of RINOs and phony conservatives he constantly rotates on his show give me fits. I mean, c’mon...Newt Gingrich three times a week? Give me freaking break.
And then, there’s the fact that the man is a motor mouth, who doesn’t seem to have the capacity to rein himself in. He had Michele Bachmann on yesterday, and forced her to listen to a two minute clip he wanted her opinion on. When he finally shut up and let her talk, the segment was just about over. I don’t think she got in more than a few sentences the whole time. What a total waste of her valuable time.
Normally, I just keep Sean on in the background between Rush and Levin. If there were anyone better to listen to during his show, I turn the dial.
I agree with all here who say Sean repeats the same thing over and over..AND that he gives Rino’s too much of a platform and doesn’t hold them accountable...particularly NICOLE WALLACE!!
I quit listening to Hannity 5 years ago. I find him very repetitive (boring), although average or even a little higher in intelligence, he seems to have little ability to process new information on the spot unless it is one of his canned statements nor the knowledge of history like Rush or Michael Savage who both have far more experience and a very creative mind.
Hannity is acquiring knowledge and experience, as he ages, though. (I do listen to snippets on the internet on rare occasions, but mostly because of whom he is is interviewing.) He has a great personality and charisma.
Knowledge is what should make people interesting and powerful. Many people just haven’t read much and have such inferior education or/and home life and experience, they just don’t understand the fundamental, philosophical questions and only see the world and events in really shallow, superficial ways. That annoys me and I have difficulty finding the patience to listen.
What are your alternatives?
Who are you guys tuned in to?
Where I live, the only one I can listen to after Rush (besides Sean) is Todd Schnitt.
Not great, but he’s not Hannity.
There are two guys on the overnight that I think I would prefer are Gary MacNamara and Eric Hurley on the Midnight Radio Network out of WBAP in Dallas.
Wish they were on at 3PM Eastern.
Anyone ever listen to them?
My kitty cat, Rebinegra, and I watch Tom and Jerry cartoons from 6:00 am to 6:30 am.
We both love it...and that is pretty much it.
I stopped listening to Sean on his radio program because he spends more time letting libtards rant and argue with him...it’s always the same argument, same cast of characters, same callers....80% of the time.
Sean has always been, and always will be, Rush’s assistant. All he does is expand what Rush has said during the previous 3 HRS.......he hasn’t had a scoop in 5 years.
The “Fox All-Star Panel” with the same people every night is the second lamest.
The guy is REALLY good, and I get a kick out of his Yankee accent. LOL.
I’d suggest Chris Plante (9am on WMAL or online) or Tammy Bruce who’s on from 2-4 Eastern time (www.talkstreamlive.com) Online only.
I don’t like Glenn Back’s show, but he is right on the money.
His presentation sucks IMO, but there is no denying he is usually right.
