Fortunately, there are web sites like "Media Matters" and "Right Wing Watch" that pay people to listen and then write about what they say there.

I read somewhere that talk radio plays to niches, certain small groups.

Rush Limbaugh plays to the Reagan groupies.

Alex Jones plays to the paranoid tinfoil-hatters.

George Noory plays to the flying saucer nuts.

Howard Stern plays to the 12-year old boys.
