Yes. And this business of leaving general impression with the ill-informed used to work much better than it does now. Some of the people who used to read headlines (as I sometimes do, I must admit) or rely on network news now get the rest of the story on talk radio.
Unless you like country (which I do), you are just about out of luck in some markets. There is rap and more rap and some ancient pop, and perhaps some whiny or weird alternative stuff. I think that many people are not that interested in the FM offerings now, and flee to AM radio (among other things like IPods and sat radio). Also, people sometimes want the mental stimulation that talk radio offers. The result is that many people are getting our side of the story now.
A UPS deliverymen with Rush blaring from the truck as he makes his deliveries, or an African-American USPS mailman listening to Rush every time you see him. These are heartening signs that the truth is getting out to people who might not have heard the Republican side of the debates 20 years ago.
I stopped listening to pop radio stations years ago. Though country is not my thing, talk radio is a daily must.
