Why is this asshole given *so much* airtime on the networks and space in newspapers and weekly magazines? Of course, I imagine, it must be because this guy represents a view strongly held among large media interests. And I'm not talking about Murdoch here, but the supposedly "more balanced" sector. I wonder if anybody knows more about the connections this gasbag has.
