Do talk radio hosts actually believe the stuff they are saying?

Question

Does anyone listen to Talk Radio? Most of them are very conservative and anti Democrat. I wonder if the hosts really believe what they are saying or they are just feed a bunch of talking points from the Republicans?

I wonder why so many talk radio hosts come on so strong for Republican talking points?

Answer 1

Though it's an act, and sho-biz: most believe basicaly in the tenets they espouse. Some of it may be tarted up a bit, but essentially what you hear is how they feel.

Answer 2

Yes they believe what they are saying.  Also the mainstream media is so liberal that these shows offer a balance to their leftist views.  It is a place for intelligent like minded Conservatives to gather and hear views that reflect our principles.

Answer 3

It's funny to see people still peddle the idea that mainstream media is liberal. The MSM have given this Republican "administration" a free pass with their brainwashing and lying.

As for talk radio... I was amazed that comedian Rush Limbaugh prattles on for hours each day. I didn't think the GOP issued that many talking points!

And I'll say this, Air America sucked. I'm a liberal and that station was just awful. There was no need for it, I'm smart enough to find the news and form my own opinions, I sure as h**l don't need some overpaid gas-bag telling me how to think or what to say!

Answer 4

I don't see why anyone gets so worked up over political opinions  anyway.  Most of the lies that are told are just to get votes and does it really matter who you vote for both parties spend money.  Dems spend it in social programs ie welfare thank them for the money that people get from you.  Rep spend it on big business to give tax breaks.  Tax Breaks=Jobs.  Welfare=more leeches.

I guess when it comes down to it you just have to listen to what you want to believe cuz in the end it is all lies anyways.  What politician holds up to anything they say to get voted into office.

Answer 5

You should listen to Glenn Beck.  He is a conservative, but not a mouthpiece for the Republican party.

Answer 6

Of course the believe in what they are saying.  You will note that the liberal "Air America" network went down in flames.  nice job, Al Franken.  EIB (Rush) continues to flourish with his messages of truth.
