Losing Its Influence?, DaveA37 wrote:

What should we expect from talkshow hosts ? First of all when we attach ourselves to a political candidate like a personal investment it is a mistake particularly when it comes to running this country. Do not expect perfection its profound keep an open mind.

Radio Talkshow Is an entertainent numbers business. While many hosts reach millions of people they still don’t have the impact that the tv media has; When they establish temselves as advocates for a given cause from the outset their audiences get restricted to those who share whatever they are pitching.

But some expect them to be completely unbiased information machines because the media is so bad, so lefty, and unreliable. But what they do, like em or not, most often is offer counter talking points to what the media is telling US. Sometimes they express an opinion which you don’t share because you’re so wrapped up in that candidate. Maybe they’re right and you don’t want to admit it.

I’ll say it again........”NOT FOR THE LACK OF TRYING”.

There is one local area station that picks a candidate and then does EVERYTHING they can to disparage that candidate, no matter what or when he/she says anything. Tell me again how “un-biased” the media is, be they radio/tv or written media, they are all the same.
