The only problem with their shows lies not in anything they do, but in the way WLS chooses to run them. Drudge used to immediately follow Tom Roeser's excellent Political Shootout live, from 9 p.m. to midnight Sunday, but was pushed back an hour so that the station could run a real estate info-mercial from 9-10 p.m.--possibly the worst mistake WLS has ever made. The whole point of Drudge is that he specializes in BREAKING news; hearing it even one hour late reduces its effectiveness. (Note to WLS: lots of us now tune in Drudge live on stations out of Dallas, Louisville, Cleveland, Rochester, N.Y., etc. Save the info-mercials for after midnight.)<br><br>Mark Levin is the greatest conservative commentator on legal issues in the country today. The only problem with Levin on WLS is that like his buddy, Sean Hannity, he's not on live. Hannity does his show from 2-5 p.m. Chicago time, Levin from 5-7 p.m.; but both are delayed here by 5 hours because that's how long WLS wants to run the useless Roe Conn every day--another huge mistake. If I were running WLS, I'd run Hannity and Levin live (as well as Drudge), and turn over 7-to-midnight to local talent like Debra Rowe, Teri O'Brien, etc.Terry Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-71726056350426219362006-08-04T16:22:32.000-05:002006-08-04T16:22:32.000-05:00He is an extreme neo con when it comes to defendin...He is an extreme neo con when it comes to defending Israel, calling for massive nuclear retaliation against several countries. Savage has bashed Bush on other matters but he has spoken about Israel exclusively the past several weeks and I havent listened.<br><br>I'd rate Tom Roeser a 5 star host on the local scene (though probably a 1 star if you discussed national issues - pro life being our only common ground).<br><br>I'd give Rush 2 stars while I would give Hannity and Medved 0 stars.<br><br>Most talk radio shows have degenerated the debate to the lowest common denominator. They have succeeded in pushing their political party's (GOP / Democrat) agitprop while leaving Americans divided while nobody is addressing the issues which will make or break America over the next two or three generations:<br><br>1. The $73 trillion deficit for the socialist welfare schemes (SS, Medicare, Medicare RX).<br><br>2. The tens of millions of illegal aliens who have snuck in since the 1980s and the plan to allow 66 million more.<br><br>3. The fact that we have handed our economy to our largest enemy China and the continuation of sending the middle class in the country to the trash heap. Our dollar will collapse with the deficits and debt. Alchemy is a bogus science and the debt and deficit matters, despite what the neo-cons (Cheney) say.Jason Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-73744220481818554332006-08-04T12:09:02.000-05:002006-08-04T12:09:02.000-05:00Rush is merely a shill for the administration (dit...Rush is merely a shill for the administration (ditto Hannity, Ingam & others), and lost whatever credibility he had with his pill popping disclosure.

He is the best thing on the radio, Rush is a phony chump, a drug addict who like to go on trips with lots of viagra, I wonder if any of the girls who he spent time with were under 18 ?
