I disagree with 99.99% of what he says, but I would hate to be on camera trying to debate him.
Back to the point, though, what does it say about our country that such mediocre talent is rewarded so generously? Does quality mean nothing?

It's because liberals are diverse, and conservatives are not. There hasn't been more than two kinds of Republicans in 60 years. There are more kinds of liberals than you can shake a stick at. One can't pander to a diverse group, one would spend too much time talking about a slew of topics - only a small portion of which any one listener would care about.
Liberals are generally smart enough not to blame their counterparts for everything. Liberals spread blame among many. That makes for a more difficult show, and one would tend to sound like a ranting lunatic.
I would only hate to debate any of those guys if it was on their own show. Let me pick the cameraman, producer, and editor and I'd take any one of them on.
