Anyway, the point I'm trying to make -- and this is my conjecture only -- is that conservative minded people enjoy listening to people reinforcing their ideas on a daily basis, whereas liberal thinking people like to explore more and look for new ideas and concepts, including art and other media. They find talk radio -- with all the stupid people calling in -- is just not their cup of tea. I'm not saying everyone who participates in talk radio is stupid, just that there really are a lot of lot of stupid comments made. I always end up thinking, "That's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back" when I try and listen. Think about it. Rush Limbaugh's program is the most listened to radio program ever. People actually listen to him for three hours every day. I coudln't listen to anyone for three hours every day, especially if they're saying the same thing day after day, week after week, month after month. But conservatives do. I personally like Jon Stewart but I watch him at them most twice a month. I catch a few short funny things on theInternet in between but I'm not glued to his show every evening. I can't even remember the last one I watched of his.

This author:

--doesn't realize the level to which he has been indoctrinated by the left/liberal media;

--doesn't see the irony in his bland acceptance of stereotypes fostered by the left; and

--thinks he is thinking deep thoughts whereas he is just regurgitating old saws.
