Comment, if you would, on the right-wing rage and outrage factor so prevalent in AM radio and now on cable TV shows such as O'Reilly

I don't listen to anyone who rages because they give me headaches. I'm sure there are some real nutcases spouting far-right, anti-government, racist hate. I just don't have time for them. I do however spend some time listening to a refreshing alternative conservative view. It has been sorely lacking in mainstream media and now Goldberg's book explains why. Impossible to dismiss him as a VRW conspirator.

I don't see O'Reilly as a conservative per se. He is in most regards but he has a populist thread running thru him. He is boistrious and arrogant which may make it hard for some people to listen to and therefore miss his message. I don't listen to Rush Limberger because he is just too arrogant for me. However he is often dead on point from a conservative viewpoint.I like a lot of Larry Elder's message though I do disagree with him on some issues. His on air persona though can be gruff and I think his message gets lost behind that as well. He is a prime example of how the Left excoriates dissent.

I know what we're seeing in this regard though, it is a channel for the conservative message to get out and the frustration at having to deal with a liberally slanted press. If you really are for the "little guy" you should be happy that he is now able to recieve "the other side" of the issues.

Also, don't you find it interesting that Faux News is moving to the left and CNN is moving to the right?

I do, I was surprised by Fox's signing of Geraldo but it makes sense. At last CNN has de facto admitted to it's leftist bent. Why else would it, as you say, move right? It show that the newsmedia is still paying attention to the bottomline. They know where the butter comes from.
