Somewhere along the way to the present talk radio and TV have become
increasingly trashy. Personalities go out of their way to be outrageous.
The more outrageous they are, the more complaints they get and the
more reaction they get. Rather than take those complaints as being
valid, the broadcasters count them as positive assets. The reflect
listenership. The more listeners there are the more advertising revenues
they can generate.
