How much influence does talk radio or television have on the public?

None on this public – I don’t listen.

Hey, they don’t call ‘em “Ditto-Heads” for nothing!
I’m not a fan. That stuff drives me crazy!

too much.

I don’t know. Haven’t had TV for almost five years.

i listen to talk radio every day. the older you get, the more you want to be informed or just hear it in the background of your rush-hour drive. an avid music listener and a musician as well, i either have to listen to all music or all talk. but when the music is not right, i elect talk radio.

Quite a lot of influence. But of course you can always turn it off.

More than I’d like to see, sadly. My husband listens to Rush and Glen Beck pretty much daily. Then I have to patiently undo the harm they have done. For instance, several years ago my husband and I watched An Inconvenient Truth. By the end of it, he was completely convinced that global warming is a real phenomena and that we should do our part to stem the tide. Now? He thinks it’s a crock of shit again. Sigh.

Like Jedi Mind tricks, they only work on the weak of mind.
