I listen to less and less talk radio all the time. Once you are staying abreast of what's going on from FR and the Internet, the talk radio hosts are a few days behind ususally, and they also usually lack facts.

If I was a talk radio host, I would definitely be staying on the pulse of FR.

Oh, I am sure they do. However, the only one who ever really gave credit to Freepers and actually engaged with them in a civil manner was Tony Snow, who had the best radio show I have ever heard. He used his show to do actual reporting, took calls from us and pursued information we gave him. I hope he is still monitoring FR.

Tony was also very civil and humble, something sorely lacking in most hosts (whose names I will not use).

When I see famous people who are supposedly "experts" in politics and yet have kneejerk reactions, or worse...deliberately ignore facts, it sosrt of sours me on the whole medium, which is why I quit listening.
