Limbaugh revealed for using actors for calls. Thats not a surprise here.

Michael Savage occasionally explains how he got into radio.  He says he put a demo tape together, complete with fake callers.

He has said this both on air and in print in his book _The Savage Nation_.

At times, you have to wonder if calls are staged, from those who agree 100% with the host to the complete idiot who actually is designed to make the host look better. 

Like Rush says, use absurdity to point out absurdity.
 
Limbaugh & Hannity had nothing to do with this "scandal"...

This was really old news...and as I recall, it was music station morning shows that used this service...and it was for "War Of The Roses" type bits...it did not involve calls to News/Talk stations...
 
Um, not being a caller-driven show, why would they need to plant calls? Seems to me that with 600 stations that there would be enough calls for the screener to weed out all but the most devoted Dittoheads, making spending the money for planted calls an unnecessary expense.
