    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          People like O'Reilly, Howard Stern, whatever blowhard you want to name, is that not only do they draw the people who are fans, they draw people who AREN'T fans. The non-fans want to hear what these people say next, so they can complain about what crap the hosts spew.

              It's the old adage: the average radio listener lasts 5 minutes before changing stations. Fans of Howard Stern listen 15 minutes, because they want to hear what he'll say next. Haters of Howard Stern listen for 30 minutes...because they want to hear what he'll say next.

                I guess this is right but I just can't crawl into those heads. I can't listen to that stuff because the stupidity just BOTHERS me. The obvious contradictions and appeals to emotion occur regularly. This is infuriating -- even moreso when it's a "friendly" POV.

                Stupidity is repellent. It's why all advertising and almost all editorial content are unwatchable / unlistenable. It's beneath the audience, and after 10 seconds I'm reaching for the off switch with blood in my eyes.

                  I can only go for a little Rush when I'm driving around in his prime territory. A couple of years ago, I tuned him in for the lulz while driving around in southern Utah.

                    I'd like to congratulate Fox News on their Bill O'Reilly replacement.

                    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b091e58f3806d7

                    However, as evidenced from a statement Carlson made on a previous show of his, taking over the space from O’Reilly is hardly a giant win for those rooting for O’Reilly’s departure.

                    During a 2006 segment on Carlson’s former MSNBC show, “Tucker,” Democratic strategist Steve McMahon claimed that Democrats taking control over Congress would usher in an era of “a lot more fun.”

                    In a slight departure from the topic, Carlson responded with a reveal of his own feelings about sexual harassment.

                    “A lot more fun?” Carlson said. “This is a group that made up the concept of sexual harassment. ‘You look great today.’ ‘Boom, I‘m charging you with a crime.’”

                    As noted in The Daily Dish back in 2007, Carlson also spoke about sexual harassment on an earlier iteration of his MSNBC show.

                    “So it‘s basically everything related to sex that we don‘t like is now sexual harassment,” said Carlson.
                    Congratulations Fox. Congratulations.

                      On the bright side, the clip of Jon Stewart that resulted in Crossfire being cancelled will be relevant again.

                        Yeah, he took down that show. I saw that live. I used to watch that show.
