Do any prominent RW radio personalities have Dems on live? |
|
Do any of the major right-wing radio hosts ever have prominent Democrats - be they politicians, progressive media figures or scholars/intellectuals - on their shows live?
I know for his TV show, O'Reilly tapes his guests and then edits it to make it look favorable to O'Reilly.
And, when I say major, I'm talking Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Beck, Boortz, etc. I know Rush has an occasional Democratic caller slip through his screeners, but that does not happen much... (I haven't listened to the others to know if they have open calling, or if its closed to only Dittoheads and others in the Koolaid Gang)
I know Thom Hartmann regularly has on Republic guests on his show live, and Thom will debate them. Al Franken also does that quite frequently.

3. Hannity only has the centrist/DLC type |
|
In Hannity's world no one exists who believes government should exist for the common good.

5. that's true - Lieberman has been on the show |

But, he's every Republican's favorite "Independent" Democrat.

2. Cause They Say They're "Deomcrats" Doesn't Make 'Em So |

I scan around the country and hear a bunch of hate radio...and also bring my own experiences into this. Many of these shows are staged and all but scripted. Anyone who does appear as a guest, it's to promote an pre-determined position that almost always makes the host look good. One station I was at, one of the hosts would "cook" interviews...having a group of his buddies pretend to be all types of experts...the host believing (and subsequently so did management) anyone will believe anything you put out there. I complain about it to management at the time...and the result? He's still on that station, I've moved on to far bigger and better.

They aren't interested in discussion - only preaching and bashing.
