Does anyone know the precise listening audience of the Michael Savage radio show?

"Grow up. You have no idea what my show is about. "

-Without hearing you -that is true. Based on what you posted here, your position is pretty obvious.

And trust me, I'm not going anywhere until I'm ready to. Stations don't normally fire the morning guy on the number one station in the market. Not number one "talk" station. Number one station.

Gee, how many times have I heard variants of that....and then The Axman Cometh. Unless you own the facility such statements are whistling in the dark.

I don't know you, or wish you any ill. But if your opinions here reflect the sort of radio you are doing, there is no long term for that.

The same way you go about anything else. You do a poll.

Within the margin of error, there is little difference between the Daily Show, newspaper websites, Rush Limbaugh and NPR.



See above. You're wrong.

Did you actually read the article to which you provided a link?

1. The study concludes media sources make no difference in how well informed people are.

2. People are not better informed in today's media environment (including bombastic right-wing talk radio) than they were before.

What this shows is that well-informed people may pick some "sources" more than others but they come to those sources already well informed. Those sources don't make them well informed. There is evidence in other studies that well-informed people expose themselves to a lot of difference sources, they actively seek out information.

What's also curious is the study equated "well-informed" with the ability to recall political trivia. Rote learning of miscellaneous factoids is not the same as an understanding of historical, economic, political and social patterns or concepts. Pew's idea of "well-informed" is at the level of a middle school civics class.

Too bad Pew didn't ask people if the world was created in six days or if climate change is a myth and see how the ditto-heads do on those.

Wanna bet? If anything I'm not conservative ENOUGH for this area. Even our Democrats love guns and tax cuts.
