The people who call in and talk as if they were really a part of the listening audience, but in reality they are working with the producers of the radio talk show and have a set of lines in which to read. Do you suspect certain well-known talk shows of doing this? If so, why are these shows using call-in "stooges" in their programs? Do you believe that there is a connection to propaganda agencies in order to change the way that people feel about particular "issues"? This seems to go beyond mere pandering or working to obtain higher ratings; instead, it appears to be the diliberate attempt to change the minds of people who are under the assumption that what they are hearing is real and not contrived.
One example that I recently read about in the New York Times was the case of Armstrng Wlms., in which allegedly involved the acceptance of over two hundred thousand dollars from a U.S. government organization in order to promote a certain cause.
