Talk show hosts need to cater to their listeners and their potential audience. They could care less what is actually going on in the country or what is best. Trust me, conservative talk show hosts are MUCH, MUCH happier when a Democrat is in office because it's much easier to find and retain new listeners.
If guys like Rush Limbaugh cared so much about the country, why doesn't he run for office? He is popular enough, he has enough money. He could win. But he doesn't give a shit, he just wants the money and the fame so he can drive his $500K car and talk into a solid gold microphone.
But this applies to either side, I just singled out the Republican talk show hosts because of the original post. Bill Maher wouldn't be nearly as popular if it wasn't for the Bush years so it works both ways. It's good to be in the pundit business when the other side is in office.
