Ten of the top 11 radio talk shows are conservative. The king? Rush Limbaugh, with 15 million (sic&#8211;20) listeners. Psychiatrist Gail Saltz says Limbaugh\u2019s style appeals to those who feel they have no voice.<\/p>\n<p>SALTZ: He\u2019s essentially kind of operating like the bully. And if you\u2019re on the playground, do you want to be the bully\u2019s &#8212; you know, under the bully\u2019s wing and go along with him and get therefore some power by proxy, too? Or do you want to be like left out alone on the playground where, you know, who knows who\u2019s going to take you out?<\/p>\n<p>COSTELLO: Saltz says conservative talkers are more popular than liberal talkers because they attract the kind of person who likes strong, aggressive messages.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is just hilarious. You know, it\u2019s 20 million, Carol, but (laughing) Oh. You know what, Carol? You need to go sit on a fire hydrant and improve your day. (laughing) That\u2019s the Media Tweak of the Day. He\u2019s so vicious! He\u2019s such a bully! He\u2019s even bullying our CNN stalker reporter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, you probably didn\u2019t hear this because it\u2019s on CNN.
