"(This news event) happened, but I don't want to talk about that..." a talk radio host said this morning. He then added, "...unless you're dying to talk about it."
Admittedly, some news events may be consequential, but when opened up for public discussion, they just lead to predictable, repetitive calls. Nevertheless, radio is for the people, so if it's reasonable for people to want to discuss something in the news, it's wise for the host to acknowledge that.
