As mentioned, the Twitterati have been awful today. As expected on social media, they seem to want echo chamber broadcasting, but LBC's newstalk format allows for a wide range of opinions throughout the day, so you're not getting just one side of the debate.

I won't quote the O'Brien explanation, but it's accurate that presenters live by their listening hours. Myska raised her listening reach, but they're listening for less time in the last Rajar quarter.

LBC is fantastic because it has varied opinion whereas Talk's right wing slant means it has limited appeal.

I always think social media and some left and right wing outlets have made politics and other subjects a no go for ordinary people.
