    Right-wing radio -- going downhill fast

    As a former devotee of right-wing radio, I am saddened and even somewhat horrified whenever I attempt to listen to those radio talk shows today. Their tone and timbre of voice allow me to listen to no more than 5 or 10 minutes. The only thought that repeats in my mind while listening is "the voice of hatred, the voice of hatred, ...". I'm pretty conservative, but all coins have two sides. No one is always right, or always wrong. You'd never know that, listening to these guys! They offer a nonstop stream of high-volume accusations and hatred, nothing more.
