Hal Lindsey: Talk radio is not news, per se, but mostly opinion. Talk-show radio personalities are not journalists in the classic sense of the word. They are commentators who entertain. If the audience doesn't like the commentary and the way it's presented, the show gets canceled. Rush Limbaugh has a brilliant mind and expresses his opinion in an entertaining way. His vast audience sticks with him because they generally agree with his analysis of the news. Al Franken is a comedian, not a journalist. He moved from comedy shows to talk radio because his material didn't appeal to a wide enough audience.
