I understood what you were saying and have heard that stated many times.
I wasn’t saying it is false. But media/publicity driven personalities can’t really be held to that generalization. Look at Rush, for instance. He constantly states how smart he is and how insightful he is. That doesn’t mean he isn’t. His record proves he is. I get sick of hearing him say that on his show, but I love listening to him otherwise.
Wouldn’t be nice if it were true, that he didn’t have to say it.
Me too on all you said, with one little twist: from my perspective, Rush is just doing his schtick, and I am sure he is heavily tongue-in-cheek. Hannity really is asserting that he is the voice of ONE, crying in the wilderness (Levin and Savage, too).
