The station brags about speaking "truth to power" which turns out to be a comedy of emptiness. Those who call in and comment have their opinions heard but unfortunately, the shows hosts usually controls the issue to be discussed and is poorly informed on the issue. As a result, there is an emptiness of facts and the issue ends up to be divisive.
Two recent discussions concerning the Inspector General's report on the FBI and the separation of children from their parents at the border boil down to the opinion of the hosts, the guest and those who call in to register their opinion. Facts are lacking on the subject matter and comments are added that are unrelated but get caught up in the conversation and the Topic is lost.
Some found bias all through the Inspector General's report and then gave their own bias comments about what they thought the report said. The conversation concerning the parent-children separation failed to see and talk about the real problems associated with immigration. And of course, the blame game is always there depending on ones political views and not the facts.
And to top it off, several weeks ago, the topic was "fake news and how can the average person know when it is fake news." The answer is so simple WWL talk radio will never understand. To understand the news is to understand the questions the news media never ask. And that will be the subject of a future PolitiDose commentary.
