Interesting Article on the Economist Blog about the influence of Talk Radio.
Talk-radio payola
Politics' new cash nexus
"RUSH LIMBAUGH loves the Heritage Foundation. Not only does he frequently cite its studies, he praises the institution as such. "Heritage is the gold standard", Mr Limbaugh has said. Sean Hannity is also a vocal Heritage fan. Mark Levin likes to talk up Americans for Prosperity, a conservative grassroots organising and advocacy group. For his part, Glenn Beck prefers Freedomworks. If you ask these popular right-wing talkers why they promote these groups on air, they'll tell you they believe in the work they do. Also, the pay's pretty good."
