Many, many people no longer want news and a responsible discussion of topics. I think most who tune in want their emotions assuaged. Thus, we have the popularity of Hannity Insanity and Glenn Wreck. Lou Dobbs moved in that direction. He had a platfrom on which to emote and he did and many emoted with him. That's why you have to listen to a variety of news and talk shows to be informed enough to come to a reasonable conclusion and form a responsible opinion
