Why I don't listen to Michael Medved

I've probably blogged this before, but today's program is a perfect example of what I dislike about Michael Medved's radio show. Mr. Medved is a very smart and very learned man, but he brings guests on his program who are insufferable. They are either so far from the mainstream as to be caricatures or they are determined to dominate the conversation, refusing to answer the questions he asks, and talking over him to the point that I can't follow either one. Today's "guest" in the second hour was James Wagoner, president of something called Advocates for Youth [ed: yeah, right!] which wants to make sure that teens have plenty of contraception advice and devices. He is opposed to abstinence education only, although he pays lip service to abstinence as one way to prevent STDs and pregnancy.

What's the point? This won't change anyone's mind, and contention is not entertainment, at least not to me.
