He has been a successful radio host for many years now, and that's not because some radio station is charitable. If he wasn't any good (ratings), he'd be gone. You are awfully presumptious.

Just because he's popular doesn't mean he's intelligent, informed, or correct. This is the argumentum ad popularum logical fallacy.

Being a radio talk show host just means you can be interesting to listen to; it doesn't mean you know what you're talking about.

That may be true but it's meaningless. Heck, you could say that about Rush or anybody else. However, I would think that being the son of a President gives Michael insight and knowledge, as well as a unique perspective, that is totally unavailable to anyone else. His opinions are informed opinions. Michael Reagan is nationally syndicated, and I would guess that if he didn't know what he was talking about he would lose audience.
