There are some managers and hosts and call screeners who work in “conservative” talk radio who strongly disagree with the conservative politics.

Then there are those who support some elements of conservativism while hanging on to some liberal positions (sometimes they are former libs who haven’t entirely broken with their past but genuinely believe many conservative principles, like Michael Medved, and sometimes they are fiscal conservatives but more socially liberal; some like Bill O’Reilly denounce Christian conservativism when and where they can).

The worst of the hosts have false names, use false voices, and even have their own scripted callers. Waste of time calling it “talk radio”. It is just jibber jab back and forth but there is no “discussion” or honesty.

Reading some stuff about radio in New England, the liberals there have decided to take out people that espouse conservative, or even honest debate, even as an act.

So, the powers that be came up with the idea of "Felon Radio". A couple of stations have hired former politicians, liberals of course, that have been convicted of felonies, to host their own programs.

I understand that the numbers aren't good, but they have connections....

And sometimes they are frauds like Michael Weiner who figured out that being a liberal carictature of a Conservative can make you lots of $$$$.
