- Title: Naked News Talk Radio
- Date: 6th April 1995
- Summary: TALK RADIO SHOWS HOW, AFTER YEARS OF BEING ECLIPSED BY TELEVISION, TALK RADIO HAS RISEN PHOENIX-LIKE TO RECLAIM THE DEVOTION OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. LESS REGULATED THAN TELEVISION AND SIGNIFICANTLY AUTOMOBILE-FRIENDLY, TALK RADIO IS MAKING A COME-BACK THANKS TO A GALAXY OF LARGER-THEN-LIFE STARS WHO LOVE TO SHOCK. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ARE HARD-LINE RIGHTWINGERS AND THE RECENT REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE IS EVIDENCE OF THEIR POWER. THEY INCLUDE FORMER WATERGATE FELON, GORDON LIDDY, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PAT BUCHANAN, AND THE PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL RUSH LIMBAUGH, WHO CLAIMING 'TALENT FROM GOD' BROADCASTS TO 25 MILLION LISTENERS. THEIR BRUTALISTIC ATTACKS ON THE GOVT HAVE LED PRESIDENT CLINTON TO COMPLAIN THAT IT WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY HARD TO GOVERN. POLLS REVEEALING THAT 44% OF AMERICANS NAMED TALK RADIO AS THEIR CHIEF SOURCE OF POLITICAL INFORMATION MEAN THAT THE WAR OF WORDS CAN ONLY ESCALATE, AS THE 1996 ELECTIONS DRAW EVER CLOSER.
