Talk-Radio Poison Depends On Listeners
I have a rational and thoughtful friend who used to stop me about once a week to vent about something disgusting, irritating or inflammable comment from John Zieglar had offered on his WHAS radio show.

My answer was always the same: "Then why do you listen?"

1. My guess
Some people just want to know who and what their eneimies are doing. Either that or they just like to bitch about something.

2. True, But The A**hole Is Gone
He made some inappropriate remarks about a woman that left Clear Channel open to unfavorable publicity AND an unwinnable lawsuit.

It might be worth goading the wing-nuts on the poisoned airwaves to leave themselves open to lawsuits in similar circumstances. I'm sure many would take the bait.
