38. he actually believes that particular shit. he's that 'popular' because they bought him a monopoly

and make sure he seldom gets real calls that would embarrass him. his show was given away to start his career and radio stations were bought up to put him on and protect him from competition. his stations are almost exclusively RW so he can't be contradicted on the same station. most of the other RW talkers get their material from the same think tanks to reinforce his lies and never contradict him.

he is a very talented liar and propagandist but contrary to popular opinion his 'popularity' is not the result of market forces- many of his stations are the loudest in every state and may often also broadcast university sports, traffic- local advertising is often making a business decision to go with the flow. he get the big bucks for selling war, global warming denial, deregulation tax breaks for billionaires, excuses for republicans, and political attack.

in most parts of the country there are NO free alternatives for politics while driving or working.
