There is something about your comments that smells to high heavens. There is a pervasive arrogance and sense of self- importance that I find repulsive.
I don't see anything wrong with anyone having a sense of "arrogance" and "self-importance" when dealing with media personalities. You are their listeners/viewers, so you basically pay their bills. I consider myself a pretty serious fan of talk radio (I could post on a thread about talk radio for hours on end), so I think I have a pretty good perspective on the business.
And yes, it IS a business ... so let's not elevate it and turn it into something it's not.
