People tune in to both mediums not for information, but for affirmation of what they already know or believe.

Yes.
I'm brave enough to admit that I do it myself.

I like talk radio but not because it affirms what I believe. Sometimes it does, but many times I disagree. I like to hear different sides of an issue, especially if there are credible references for me to investigate. I like it because it is more logic-based rather than emotional-based. Ideologies and events are discussed but personal bashing is at a minimum (but yes, it does exist).
On R&S, I think this forum is much more emotional-based and reliable references are scant. Personal bashing is common. This forum doesn't affirm my beliefs either.
I will agree that sometimes I can learn from either source.

Well I'm here to stir up discontent and strife. Can I do that on conservative talk radio too?

lol- that's true. I listen to rush limbaugh with my mom a lot and I realized that he's not for or against any actual policy or ideal- He's simply against democrats. He will completely flip sides on an issue just because one democrat agrees with him. It drives me bonkers!

Um, I get very little information here. I think it is more like Real World, with everyone playing up to the camera.

Good analogy. Sean Hannity and Mark Levin (sp?) are awesome talk show hosts btw.

Truthfully I wouldn't know... I've put those channels on permanent block so that when I surf it passes over it. I don't feel that listening to that is worth my time.

I know nothing, I speak nothing, I just look at the cute avatars.

Only the ones who hold dogmatic perspective do that.
Dogma = Religion.
