Joe Cramer M.D.: Eyes open surrounding world to us and open us to the world

Jim Hippen | 1:52 a.m. Nov. 7, 2009

Dr. Cramer has selective memory. When talk radio started proliferating during the late '60s and early '70s, almost all the voices were what would now be called 'liberals'. Their negative voices attracted many who enjoyed bashing the rich and conservative government. They gradually lost listeners because they were so negative. Conservative voices are now popular because they cheer for what is right, while blasting what is wrong. However, as they have started getting more negative, without the cheering for what is good, they will also lose out, and the pendulum may swing the other way.

The headline was so cumbersome on this I almost skipped the whole article, then decided to read it just to try to figure out what in the world the headline meant. It turned out to be a good read, glad I stopped....no credit to the headline.

I have no idea where that comment came from, interesting as it is. I didn't see any mention by Cramer of talk radio...?
