radio fatigue

Maybe it's just me but I am noticing this summer that AM talk shows are just getting so repetitive and devoid of originality.
I barely listen anymore because all I hear is the bloody greenbelt issue with the Ford government,
Yes there is some value in discussing whether developers got some preferential treatment but actually it means nothing in the long run.
Developers always get preferential treatment from every government.
it's just a lot of blah blah blah blah.
And by the way when have you ever heard an auditor general's report or an ethics commissioner's report be anything less than "scathing?"
Has there ever been an auditor's report that says, the government has really done a great job?
Has there ever been an ethics commissioner report that says, gosh the prime minister/premier was squeaky clean and blameless?
I usually listen to the talk stations when I'm driving around doing chores in my car.
I just get the impression that they talk about the same issues over and over and over again.
Eventually I just switch to a music FM station like Boom.

Re: radio fatigue

You must be a conservative voter. The Greenbelt has only really been the top story for a two weeks.
Going backwards before that, it was Trudeau‘s handling of:
the housing crisis
the Meta news ban
inflation
the cabinet shuffle
the Ukrainian refugee crisis
the carbon tax
Chinese interference
the healthcare crisis
and the Trudeau Foundation.
Talk radio is tough on Doug Ford for 14 days and you’ve had enough.
