I don't think progressive talkers pander any more than rightie 
talkers do.  Talk show hosts are there to appeal to their base, their 
target audience.  I do find some of the progressives a lot more 
honest and a lot more balanced than the Michael Savages and Rush 
Limbaughs of the world-- Thom Hartmann is quite accurate in his 
assessments of most issues, and he seldom bashes anyone-- he even has 
conservatives on his show as guests.  So does Ed Schultz sometimes, 
and he's more of a moderate than a "liberal".  But that said, I don't 
mind liberals, I don't mind conservatives.  But I do mind insults and 
hate speech no matter which side is doing it.
