Cuprisin Sees Through Sykes

Veteran TV/Radio critic and columnist Tim Cuprisin has posted a primer on interpreting Charlie Sykes and talk radio's confusion of political opinion, fact and entertainment.

The headline is a bit of a spoiler - -

OnMedia: A political analyst or a cheerleader?

  1. So it's an accomplishment to "see through" Sykes? No, he is so predictable it's pathetic. The really sad part about Sykes is that he is a very intelligent man. I think of people like Belling and Wagner as being genuinely dumb, maybe in Belling's case in possession of a certain low animal cunning. But Sykes is an extremely bright man who at some point figured out what sells and now relentlessly peddles it -- even stuff that he is far to bright to actually believe.
