And vice-versa.

I agree. For example, I apply the same standard - my standard is that I avoid all talk radio, because there hasn't been one person I've ever heard that's made a bit of sense on them, politically or otherwise. Rush, Howard, Imus, etc. (those are all I can think of off the top of my head) Never heard Matt Drudge (nor heard of him), and I'm gonna keep it that way.
These guys do not have a purpose on the air other than to sell commercials - so, AFAIC, they're interchangeable.
