RW, from Brooks' column,

> The rise of Beck, Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and the rest has correlated almost perfectly with the decline of the G.O.P. But it’s not because the talk jocks have real power. It’s because they have illusory power, because Republicans hear the media mythology and fall for it every time.

Brooks is talking out of his ass, ironically contributing to the mythology he's talking about.

Conservative talk radio and TV shows have been around for quite a long time. They didn't cause the decline of the GOP. Their profile rose because the GOP declined and no one else stepped up to take the reins.
