Post 14: Talk Radio

I was trying to figure out what to blog about this week. So, I watched some more news and listened to some talk radio. All I was hearing was more stuff about the elections and more stuff about the different candidates. I have already blogged about some of that in the past and have read too many other blogs that relate to the election, so then it occurred to me to simply blog about talk radio.

I watch the news a lot, but mostly listen to talk radio. Specifically I listen to AM 790 KABC (http://www.kabc.com/home.asp). If you are ever driving and want to listen to a little political discussion, this is the channel to be listening to. If anyone is interested in listening a little through you computer, all you have to do is go to the link I gave above, make a login name, and listen to the live broadcast. Some of the people that are on throughout the day include Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Larry Elder.

Anyways, the reason why I decided to blog about talk radio, is because I really feel that it is AWESOME. I have heard some of the best points made on a variety of politically heated topics and radio also offers a lot that TV news lacks. Since the host of the show gets to determine a lot of what they talk about, there are tons of times where you can listen in and hear about something really important or absolutely baffling, that the TV news has decided not to present, for that exact reason. I guess that this all comes back to the point that it is important for all of us to make sure to get the "facts" from a variety of sources and different places. Talk Radio, especially, offers the chance for listeners to learn about things sometimes not discussed on TV and also to call in and give their input. This is a great chance to hear different sides of the argument and form your own opinion about the topic being discussed. It is not only really interesting to be listening to these topics, but also important to form those opinions.
