I had a five hour drive the other day so I listened to both right wing and left wing talk radio the other day. My conclusion was that they were both full of crap.

I prefer to listen to music, or NPR.

That is what I usually do but it was the day before the Supreme Court decision and I wanted to hear what each side was saying. Of course, they were both wrong. I agree with you though. Talk radio is a complete waste of time.

Right wing talk radio "liberals are racist and facists who hate America", left wing talk radio "right wingers are racist and fascist who hate America" Essentially identical, the only difference is that right wing is more entertaining and better at it, probably because they have been at it longer and are not afraid to go over the top Jerry Springer style

They were both blatantly biased. At least left wing admitted it.

I Listen to P.O.T.U.S. (Ch. 124) when not listening to the BBC or CBC Radio 1 for news.
They discuss the issues, not a whine & shout circle jerk that is on SIrius/XM's Fox, MSNBC and the Patriot and Left channels.

They ask questions and let politicians answer. They also will play the full campaign speeches and press conferences, live, so you hear what people really say, and not the soundbytes presented by the major media networks and pundits.
The best show, overall is PoliOptics (on Saturdays 12 pm and repeated at 6 pm).

No talk radio. Music or sports for me.
