chloelouise,
Neat name you have by the way.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. You
actually are a pretty creative writer. And it sounds to me like you do
listen a lot based on your knowledge, so let me say thanks for
listening to us when you do.
In the radio talk show business, the goal is to stand out from
the dozens and dozens of choices that people have on how to spend their time. So
it is natural for a talk show host like Chip, or Rush, or LaDona or Roger to be
rather demonstrative with the words they use and the approach they
take. I guess it's like a debate team in high school or a lawyer
presenting closing arguments in a trial. You don't succeed by just calmly
reciting a bunch of facts and statements. You have to have a passion and
express emotion and be noticed and remembered.
Talk show hosts
also use lots of analogies to make a point and obviously
do not literally mean to communciate that they want to hurt anyone. It's all designed to share thoughts and feelings that we think most of our listeners either share or want to offer an opposing opinion which
we encouirage because it makes
good radio.
As for my "usual speils on morality", they are designed
to spark reaction and conversation and get people to thinking about some serious
issues at times.
Again, thanks for listening to KOGO when you do.

This was Cliff Albert's response to a letter I sent to him about chip franklin often calling for vigilante justice.
