That doesn't mean becoming liberal on issues, but in tone. The mainstream [liberal] media, the DNC, and various other groups have been very succesful in making "the right" as such it might be called look like a bunch of [their words] inbred hillbillies and mentally unstable lunatics and buffoons. These shows carrying on exactly in this manner doesn't exactly change this perception. Its almost as though these shows are trying to engrain this stereotype all the more.

The best thing would be the entire crop of these neo-conservative hosts to be replaced by sensible, moderate in tone voices that can point out the real extremism that the adminstration is implimenting in terms of its policies on a range of issues.
