Talk+Radio

Talk Radio shows like Rush Limbaugh have been a favorite program of many Republican Americans for years. But have they influenced people to believe in ideas that can ultimately hurt them? I aim to figure out the influence talk radio shows have on Americans by looking at sources in books and online and possibly create a survey to see what what kind of beliefs people have about politics and if they are congruous with beliefs stated on Talk radio shows.

Cool topic - although I wonder if you are claiming that talk radio is a form of 21st century propaganda. Seems like it's questionable on all fronts... since it's a product of the 20th century and it may not fit the definition of propaganda. But you have the green light. This is a well-trod topic with lots of information and ideas. So to do something original, you might want to explore **how people begin** to start listening. What factors lead a person to tune in? Is listening to talk radio passed from parents to children? From one colleague to another?
