I get the impression from him that they bloviate on a lot of the hot news topics, but do so in the manner of "the opinion of just another guy," and then a second or third "just another guy" giving his two cents, without the political agenda attached of conservative, or even liberal, radio or TV.</p> <p>It is interesting along these lines, that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/19/business/media/al-jazeera-america-promises-a-more-sober-look-at-the-news.html?pagewanted=all">Al Jazeera America claims it is going to go Ted-Turner-style CNN</a>, mostly hard news with little opining, that it thinks it can profit doing that where others have given up long ago. That's quite different from Arabic Al Jazeera TV, which really is well known for quite a bit of selling of inflammatory opinion talk shows.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:57:31 +0000 artappraiser comment 182822 at http://dagblog.com Right Wing Talk radio is in http://dagblog.com/comment/182820#comment-182820 <a id="comment-182820"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/ill-be-damned-ed-takes-over-matthews-spot-17283">I&#039;LL BE DAMNED!

The country is moving on and hate filled talk is a looser.  Kos has a diary up with the stats on the major radio stations that carry Rush.  <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/08/19/1232419/-Wingnut-media-site-claims-dramatic-drop-in-wingnut-radio-ratings">http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/08/19/1232419/-Wingnut-media-site-claims-dramatic-drop-in-wingnut-radio-ratings</a></p> </div></div></div> Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:09:33 +0000 trkingmomoe comment 182820 at http://dagblog.com
