“Political talk” Genres

This political season is creating issues with the traditional idea that there are Conservative radio shows and there are Liberal/Progressive shows.

A number of hosts who call themselves Conservatives are becoming virulent anti-Republican, calling openly for the defeat of John McCain. Their words mimic the Democratic talking points almost verbatim.

At least until after the election, those programs assert something like “I’m not a Republican, I’m a registered independent”, “We don’t talk about left and right, we talk about right and wrong” are in a new category called Independent Politics.
