Overlooked and over the top -- OrlandoSentinel.com: "This type of commentary is not just a breeding ground for hatred. It is also driven by dubious reporting and outright falsehoods. Throughout the presidential campaign, many of these shock jocks made considerable efforts to scare voters away from Obama. Reports that Obama was not a U.S. citizen were relayed with conviction on talk radio and repeated without substantiated evidence until they were engrained into our collective subconscious.
These dubious stories, repeated over and over, come to be accepted as fact. Talk radio serves as an effective echo chamber, reinforcing conservative talking points, rumors, half-truths and innuendo. Even after a story is debunked, the damage is often already done; the conservative narrative becomes embedded in media story lines and is accepted as conventional wisdom."
Good article on talk radio. Mostly a bunch of chicken shits that hide behind a microphone and let others fight for them.
