I'd say that's been one of the effects of a
media type called "talk radio," some of which devolved into
"hate radio" -- and I suppose into Fox "audio video" television,
as well, with the form of large gorilla types who

I've seen serious discussions that aren't nearly so jarring, but those wouldn't likely get high ratings. Quite frequently you can't even understand what the people are saying because they yell over each other. You have to hear a specific sample to make any sense of it.
