Charles,

I read your paper on the radio talk show hosts. I think one thing you'll want to look for is a selection effect here. It's not like average Americans are just going to tune into Limbaugh or some Air America style liberal radio show. Only extremists are going to tune into those shows, so those people already have a very heavy political bias and cynicism with people who disagree with them. I think that those extremist talk shows exacerbate extremism, but the people who tuned in were already somewhat extreme to begin with.
