Beccy.........you can't be serious. Here I was thinking that you were one of those discerning conservatives. Rush is no more fair to those he disagrees with than any of the rest. They purport to give them time, even let them go a bit, then control how the rest of the conversation goes. It is not even close to debate. Usually the segment will come to an end just as the "opponent" starts to rebut. And the "liberals" aren't any better. Even those moderate/conservative/independent folks like Jim Bohannon do the same. In fact, Bohannon will just talk over the top of you and belittle you, should you disagree with him or come up with something that he believes is not up to his standard.

Talk shows aren't supposed to be real. And they are not. They are contrived to only bolster the opinions of the host. They are emblematic of the problem I pointed out above. They serve to bolster preconceived notions, not to foster understanding or discussion.

All the best,

Mick
