Couldn't agree with you more.
However, people like their politics delivered to them differently. Conservatives are very in your face. Liberals like to sugar coat it. Therefore, the hosts personality must be a certain way for it to be entertaining to the target viewer.

Some of you are comparing people who have purely entertainment talk shows, where they rarely if ever get into politics

I agree in part with you except for Bill Mahr. However, the other hosts i mention do in fact make sure you know what their view point is on abortion, spanking, econmic issues, gays, child adoptions to name just a few. Regardless who the host is - it's all for entertainment value. Like I said - it's all about the way you prefer to discuss your politics.
I for one like Bill Mahr - because he is an in your face Liberal...with many of the same values I hold...... Liberal social agenda - Moderate/Conservative economic agenda.
