Advertisers for Mark Levin

I live in Cheyenne, WY and have just tuned in to a streaming web site for 77 WABC Radi. I thought it came out of Wyoming, but an advert I just heard said New York.

Anyway, prior to that ad came one for the Mark Levin program.

The ad had excerpts from Levin's show which were presumably used to encourage new people to tune in to show.

So - what were these excerpts? "Who is the worst commentator on MSNBC.com?" He then disses Chris Mathews, and various other people whose names I don't recall (I don't watch MSNBC), making snide comments about each one.

Is that why Mark Levin is so popular? Because people tune in to hear him insult others? Is that why Rush Limbaugh is so popular? He doesn't really insult people, just makes fun of them...

But it's interesting - and sad - that radio advertiser makers know that if they want to attract people, they need to have advertisements that consist of people insulting each other or making fun of them.
