The Obama government is "nudging" talk radio into a self-imposed "fairness doctrine." IMO it is using phony experts to advise talk radio owners that the public is tired of "hyper-partisan" political and national issues talk.
For example Hannity is being replaced by Michael Savage starting in January. Here's why . . . Cumulus will promote personalities like Michael Savage, who . . . has tempered his performance amid concerns over being hyper-partisan to a more populist presentation, using softer subjects and more humor.
I stopped listening to Savage in 2006, because of his support for Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown.
