This is news from Jeffrey Goldberg's interview with Lindsey Graham:

"Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said, as he suggested conservative talk radio, in particular, has detracted form constructive political debate in America. "What do I think of Rush Limbaugh? Well, I think he makes hundreds of millions of dollars being able to talk on the radio for three hours a day. It is what it is, but here's what I worry about: how many people in my business are going to be controlled by what's said on the radio or in a TV commercial? Base politics is what we're talking about."

He continued: " Glenn Beck is not aligned with any party as far as I can tell. He's aligned with cynicism, and there's always been a market for cynicism."
