Why I hate talk shows

I gave up TV watching years ago . What an ignorant and

    absurd circus. But now I find radio just as bad. Most talk shows - the

    arrogant, loud mouthed hosts and dumb and dumber callers -are the

    intellectual pits of our times.

          The same jackasses check in every day . Many annoy the listener

    by taking forever to make a point. Other frequent callers are hit

    and run artists.

            How much I prefer the written word or the  e- mail letter. You

    have to THINK first before typing words out on a keyboard. The receiver

    of the letter can pay  as much or as little attention to it as he or she

    pleases.

          I NEVER call talk shows because I insist on having a little time

    to think about unpredictable questions that arise in a controversy.

         Those regular talk show callers just need a chattering mouth and

    a spinal cord.

           The talk show hosts are rarely a cut above the callers - just

    more articulate and arrogant.

           Just now I hear an idiot host that Boston could be made blissful

    if only the police would confiscate cars that are double parked !

          Just double park once and you lose your car to the city!

       " Oh they'll cry fascism but the problem will be solved ". ( near

    quote )

           In the real world space AND time is precious. Stupid talk show

    hosts and their callers are hogging precious air time.

           Listening to them is hazardous to your sanity !
