I agree, Daschle is whining. This is America, dammit. Fight speech with speech.
I find most political talk shows obnoxious. I generally disagree with the hosts, especially the most conservative ones, but that's not why I find the shows obnoxious. What bugs me is usually the callers, who often display a shocking amount of ignorance. I can't stand to listen to that.
But I mostly listen when I'm in the car, and I really can't stand any kind of serious discussion during my commute. I need to be entertained. It's a shame that doesn't seem to be a value that's prized on radio these days. I used to like the Kent Voss show on WWDB in Philadelphia, before they changed format. He was my all-time favorite: no serious issues, but with some intelligence and wit. Now I'm usually reduced to Don & Mike for my drive home when I don't have a CD along I feel like listening to. I've actually been tempted by XM satellite radio, but I don't know if their stuff is any better.
