I don't know if I'd call them idiots. He knows how to market ideas to a very large audience and make it sound like common sense. His goal is not to preach to convert. His goal is to preach to the choir... same as most media outlets. It makes good economic sense.
My sole reason behind listening to talk radio is the debates and alternate viewpoints. Typically a conservative inviting a liberal to his show discuss an issue or recent news. Does Rush never do this? If not, I can see how non-right listeners would hate his show and classify it as ‘preaching to the choir’.

Definitely the million dollar question for the media, but I’ve always wondered: If a leading/well known/reputable Conservative and Liberal commentator are going over news stories and certain issues on the same show, how does that not reflect a semi-objectiveness?
