I never cared for MS' schtick. Too bombastic. And whenever someone catches him in an inaccuracy, he calls them a name and hangs up on them. His show has deteriorated even further in that now all he seems to do is play recordings of himself on various MSNBC shows.

I listen to blurbs of all the talk show hosts but can't bear any of them for more than twenty minutes or so. And, although I like Rush Limbaugh, I wish they'd electronically modulate his voice to a lower tone. It's not as deep as it was and is shrill and hurried. I realize he's deaf but my ears can't take it.

The others all annoy me after awhile too. I'd rather watch news and visit FR.

"...all he seems to do is play recordings of himself..."

Exactly! Also, he does not want to talk about what is actually happening - war, Laci, etc. - just him and what he eats and drinks. Unless someone wants to praise him, he is rude - like you said. However, when he gets mad or upset about something happening, i.e. UN, etc., that's when he is at his best.
