Well, Sam can speak for himself, but your assumptions are flawed. There are many people that consider Rush's spin as the appropriate way to get news. For example, they'll listen to Hannity or Rush or FoxNews and consider themselves informed. For example Sam is frequently touting a Pew poll (which is odd because he normally dings them) saying how "informed" talk radio listeners are. Of course that type of analysis assumes that "informed" and "understand" are equivalent which they're not. I discover this all of this time in talking over these issues with people. The Rush/Hannity/FoxNews set typically rattle off the talking points of the days, but when you dig deeper you discover they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm sure this happens with the AirAmerica side, but I don't know about any of those shows, nor listen/hear them, nor do I know anyone who does. The same is not true of the FoxNews set as I know hundreds of those people which would include Sam. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213207 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
