These guys aren't in the business of "news". They are entertainers. And their job is to get ratings.

CNN, FOX, and even MSNBC do have actual reporters and news segments. But the Hannitys, Maddows, Piers Morgans, etc. are NOT those reporters. They are characters that are carefully crafted in an attempt to draw ratings.

When I watch their shows I watch them for entertainment purposes. Not to draw any conclusions.
You are right, they had hannity once on one of the air america radio shows. He was funny ,very charming and very likable.

Everything is true except Maddow I dont like her show but she is actually a ph.d in political science.

Rush also owns the airwaves because there is almost nothing else on in most states. He is the on the road salemans best friend. Here in Atlanta you got NPR in the morning and that,s not right or left if you really listen to it not take a pundits opinion on it. Its like a news magazine. Then its Herman Cain,Rush and that's about it until npr again for the evening drive.
