Ann Coulter
Bill O'Reilly
Laura Ingrim
Sean Hannity
G. Gordon Liddy
Phil Savage
and on and on and on............

Answer 1

I think that they have made a dent in the more mentally deficient of the population, but people that can think for themselves know that what these people are saying is for their own purpose of making more money. They are just saying what these idiots want to hear.

Answer 2

These guys are losing the propaganda war.

My kids and I listened to Mike Savage on a late night drive home from a homeschool field trip. I kept trying to turn it off, but my kids wanted to hear it.

We were utterly blown away that such evil, hateful, utterly stupid, commentary is listened to by anyone. My 9 year old said, "If anyone listens to this man, he's a clear and present danger." It's that obvious.


This week, Fox News during the O'Reilly Show and AP News wireservice (sheesh....) wrote articles/headlines showing Mark Foley as a DEMOCRAT. When your propaganda is this blatant, I think you know you've lost the propaganda war.

When your machine spends a week equating clinton and grown woman monica with foley and predating teen boys - and saying your leadership responded and the dems never did, when we know the repucs didn't respond and dems like Lieberman trashed Clinton - and the cries against your leader only increase - you know you are losing the propaganda war.

It only took torture, katrina, and the aggressive sexual predation of children to defeat the propaganda war. And we didn't fight back with lies of our own, we all just kept getting the truth out.

Thank God for the internet Newt Ginrich agrees Al Gore was instrumental in creating.

Answer 3

I have found that political talk radio isn't just about expressing republican and conservative views, but also to tell the truth. I have not heard anything yet that is a lie. I cannot say that I have listened to all of these people, but from what I here, they can't be too far from the truth. You might not agree with me, but before you think that I am crazy, think about this. If you are a democrat, a liberal, the far left is just as bad as the right. If the radical republicans are far from the truth, the left can't be any closer than that.

Answer 4

WOW it is cool hats off to the Canadians I take back some issues i've got suggested approximately them i myself wish that way of questioning is going South. After wising as much as precise wing propaganda approximately 20 yrs. in the past i've got continually suggested !!! the 1st replace desires a Anti Propaganda prevision extra to it.

Answer 5

Yeah I would. People here who spout out being right-wingers seem to lump all other ideologies together, like commie-socialist-liberal-leftist. And that's not because they've ever looked into these ideas, but because they're drummed into their heads from popular media around them.

Bill o'reily is one of my favourites- he's so aggressive. That and all these shock-jock reporters prove that these programs aren't about politics at all. They're about stirring hatred and encouraging violence. Look at the tension, how they act on screen. Debates can't be wrapped up in a few minutes of angry finger-pointing and palm-slamming. But it's the psychological effect to create mass hysteria.

What's even more sad is how brilliant the right wing has won the shouting contest of america - at how they have defined the rules of the game now, a game freethinkers can't win. Look at the war on terror. From over here in the UK, you can see what a laughable sham it is. But people have called themselves 'liberals' now, called themselves everything o'reily wants them to be called. They've lost everything by falling into that trap - being allowed to be defined.

Talk shows on TV and radio in america - crazy free-for-alls which can end up a pitiful slanging match - prove american media isn't interested in true politics at all. It's incredibly lazy to brand other people as liberals or commies or to scoff at other news organisations like the BBC, which has worked incredibly hard to remain neutral throughout the years, although it does tend to be a little anti-government.

But that's exciting! Instead of lapping up official stories and making politicians look all nice n sweet, we make things look awkward for them! There's a general gist, but you genuinely have space to draw your own conclusions. Fox News has to be the funniest program ever, it's so fake!! How could it be 'fair and balanced' if it bragged about it?? Like, CNN doesn't have that, surely it must be biased! But defending crooked politicians to the ends of the earth deserves applause.

Because it's just a show, like a carnival, not news at all. But it's a dangerous show and it does reach out to the worst in people. And everyone else branded as libs or dems or conspiracy nuts. You've got a long way to come yet.

Answer 6

Not even close...Those people listed actually help us on the left when they open their mouth's and force such un-educated verbiage to spew forth. Seems AM is their accepted medium. I believe that stands for A M outh. Very Fitting. Listen and Laugh at their stupidity.

Answer 7

No, just the opposite my uneducated friend. They are trying to expose the propaganda that the left keeps hoping people like you will believe. Listen and learn, good luck, Know

You just listed 7 of many very smart, well educated people that know exactly what's up, give them a chance.

Answer 8

If there was not a total lack of the conservative view point and biased coverage toward the democratic agenda in mainstream media,there would not be a market for those you listed.

Answer 9

They work hard to create a propaganda war; but end up only talking to themselves and their single digit IQ, dingle berry supporters.

Answer 10

Lots of hot air means lots of noise.
I do wonder why they keep saying that the media is so pro-dem though.
