Most of what passes for "Talk Radio" these days is crap. "Moron call-in" radio is more like it. Do we expect the hosts of these shows to actually know *anything* about the subjects that they choose as a topic on a particular day? I certainly wouldn't expect that they know much beyond some what they read in some newspaper or magazine article they'd read the previous day. They see a "hot button issue" with which they can maximize the debate factor for their show, and they push the button.

Of course, by experience, we should be aware that these call-in shows are more often than not a sham to grab ratings... and what better way to grab ratings than to let a bunch of misinformation be spread by individuals who are not culpable for their misinformed statements and outright lies?

I might suggest we fight fire with fire, but c'mon... the audience, if they can't think for themselves, is asking to be burned by whoever comes along with the brightest punk that glows in thier favorite color.
