Right Wing Media Cult Followers

In my view the right-wing radio and television political commentators are the leaders of personality cults.

They cultivate a group of unquestioning followers, who believe the leader holds the exclusive Truth. Rational and independent thought is unnecessary, discouraged or forbidden. These followers isolate themselves from the outside world and any reality testing it could provide.

These personalities appeal to people with low self-esteem, and teach that the world is going to hell in a hand basket, and they're the only ones who see it coming. I believe they fulfill a desire in their followers to feel superior to everyone else; they are the only ones with the truth -- everyone else is wrong.

Sadly, these personalities are often psychopathic and power hungry. They exist only for their own material benefit, making 10s of millions of dollars annually.

This would all be rather harmless and curious if it did not cause violence (of which there have been several recent examples). They incite violence, yet take no responsibility for it.

It's also frightening that these cult followers vote based on the inbred information provided by the right-wing media.

I cannot change the right-wing media, nor their followers.

I can attempt to be objective, obtain my information from many sources, and do everything in my power to keep these people out of political office.
