They Think They're Smarter and That's Why Talk Radio Doesn't Work in Washington

That's according to Chris Berry, president and general manager of WMAL, on why talk radio--of any stripe--isn't popular in the nation's capital.

Chris Berry, president and general manager of WMAL, says there's nothing particularly unusual about Washington and political talk radio, except that "people in D.C. are smarter" than talk audiences in other towns. "In Boston, Chicago, even L.A., it's more emotional," he says. "In D.C., people really do know the issues."

Funny, you can't tell their smarter by the sort of legislation they support.
