Top 100 talk show hosts of all time

[Larry Sochrin]

Good selection,  but I find them including Father Coughlin, whose  
broadcasts weren't talk hosting as much as horrendous anti-semitic  
rants and arguments supporting both Hitler and Mussolini to be  
shameful.  Hitler broadcast long speeches on similar topics, so under  
this approach, I'm surprised they didn't include him, or some other  
genocidal maniacs, in the Top 100 talk show hosts of all time.  Truly  
shameful.
