Conservative Talk Show Host Count Down List Just got another tic.

This is an updated post that I post whenever I hear that another one bit the dust. Bob Enyart just won the Darwin award and made this list so I am reposting.

From a few sources I came up with a list of current and past conservative talk show hosts. I am sure this is far from comprehensive, but it is most of the names you will regular run into apart from your smaller local pundits. This list includes some that are gone and some that have changed professions. Rabid pundit talkers such as Scott Apley who died of covid are not on this list and maybe they should be. But out of 78 of the names I could find conservative blather, there are at least five dead of covid. This is 6.4 percent so it doesn't pay to be a denier.

Rich Buhler
Al Rantel
Alan Burke
Alex Jones
Andrew Wilkow
Barry Farber(Natural Causes)
Ben Shapiro

If you take into account that several talk show hosts are vaccinated, and that the death rates are based on those infected and not the general populace, the numbers for talk show hosts dying of covid looks like a strong indication that there is a high risk factor for this group.
My suspicion is that elevated rage and screaming may add to your risk of getting a massive infection. There is some indication that low exposure and illness from covid is much less risky than high exposure. These are people much more likely to get into a close up screaming fight than the average citizen.
This is not a scientific sample for several reasons, but it does provide an honest try at presenting the information. I have had to remove several people from this list. Since a lot of my sources have been conservative sites, a certain amount of it has been as acurate as you might expect data from a conservative might be.


Please help update this list and feel free to use, update and republish this list unless you are a Republican, Anti-vaxxer, Libertarian, or Conservative.

While it will lower the statistics, if there is an odious tool that haunts your airwaves that I missed, please let me know. Since I am not being scientific since the list grows and shrinks as corrections and additions are made, I would at least like to be as accurate and complete as I can.

I loved listening to Coast to Coast AM when Art Bell was the host. When Noory took over I quit. Never listened to it again and that's been years ago now.

Bell's show was a small step towards all the conspiracy crap we swim in today. Noory's appearance took the show to the right. Not knowing Noory or his past politics, I can't help but assuming his take on the show was lubricated by big conservative money.

He thinks the media has over-hyped Covid. This from a fellow that will happily listen to the most obvious wonks he can find. I am the last person to blanket debunk all strange things or conspiracies, but you have to call a loon a loon when they tell you they are a loon.
