I don't know of any true democrats or liberals who get their daily information from Michael Moore, or Rosanna, or Rosie O.
But Hannity has a 4 hour radio program followed by 2 TV shows. I am very happy for him and his success. As an economist, I think he is a genius businessman, and admire his committment to so much time spent on what he believes.
What I can't figure out is why a true conservative would listen to him?
He calls his show the "Stop Hillary Express" then spends 2 hours saying democrats suck because they don't put out new ideas, and just attack republicans. This is intermingled with Dick Morris coming on the air saying bad things about both Clintons.
Air America failed because liberals didn't want to hear conservative bashing all day long without substance, so they tuned out. Yes a few red meat liberals tuned in to hear about how bad Cons suck. But conservatives seem to revel in red meat politics. All bark, no bite, attack attack attack, and then throw in some hyprocracy for good measure.
Can you actually picture George Will or Buckley Jr. tuning into this garbage?
Do you think Reagan spent most of his day bashing Democrats, or did he just think up ideas that he believed in, then defend those ideas?
My memories of Reagan are about him being positive and putting forth ideas (Yes I disagreed with a few). Hannity is the polar opposite. His popularity at some level must be a reflection about the "politics of destruction" mentality that Conservatives possess.

P.S. If all Republicans were like George Will I would switch in a second.
