Almost missed this. Thom Hartmann in Top 10 Radio Hosts, Talk Magazine.

[EFerrari]

Well done, Thom Hartmann! A true fighter for progressives and a successful one, at that! What a relief you are!

:yourock:

1. i think he`s the best of all the left of the dial...

[EFerrari]

5. I think he's unnaturally patient and watch him every day now

that he's on Free Speech TV. :hi:

[Beaverhausen]

2. Congrats, Thom!

[NightWatcher]

3. Hartmann is required listening and reading as well (go check out his books)

[ihavenobias]

4. K & R.

Hartmann is great.

[daggahead]

6. I've listened to him since at least 2004.

He can, at times, be too nice to the conservatives he has on as guests.

He talks about topics that other hosts catch onto a month later.

[EFerrari]

7. I never got into the radio habit because none of my jobs allowed it.

It's funny because I didn't get Thom every day until he was also on teevee.

[CrispyQ]

8. My right wing mother listened to him once & said,

"He's very reasonable." High praise coming from her!

[EFerrari]

9. My mom liked him, too, and she ditched the Democrats

when they didn't go with Hillary Clinton.

[nevergiveup]

10. Thom is the Rachel Maddow of radio

or maybe I should say Rachel is the Thom Hartmann of Television.....both have a great sense of humor, are extremely bright, polite and neither is afraid to interview a wacko spokesmen from the fringe right. Congratulations to Thom. He is truly the best of progressive radio.

[EFerrari]

11. They both are deep and wide and brain candy + humor.

So rare any more.

[tilsammans]

12. I never miss Thom's show

He's the best of all the progressive talkers, IMO. :toast: Congrats, Thom!

[ihavenobias]

15. The funny thing is I'm listening to him right now on my MP3 player.

Unfortunately I've been so busy that I'm 3 months behind. Crazy, I know.

[KharmaTrain]

13. Congrats To Thom...

BTW...it's "Talkers" Magazine. No biggie, it's a right wing industry rag, barely worth the paper it's written on. I was a subscriber in the 80s...cancelled in the 90s and no regrets. Still good to see he's being recognized and not some right wing shitstain (as the norm).

[dkofos]

14. He's #1 to me.

[Festivito]

16. Doesn't say how they determine who "rules". Money, listeners?

Do they assume FOX TVs placed in doctor's rooms and hospitals are still on FOX stations and then multiply by how many people the room could hold, then claim supremacy?

Or, by money. Does Rush really make all that money on the silly commercials he runs, or does he pay for the time and keep the real payers a secret?

Or, by hours paid for?

Rush Limbaugh

Who knows. Thom is number one by me.
