It's the route of the ignorant.
Who wants discussion with nuance or subtlety or in-depth analysis? People just want to hear 20 jackasses call in with "You're damned right!" and have their opinion, however ignorant or uncritically held, constantly validated.
Makes it easier for the host (you only need to find a moron who can use a microphone, as opposed to someone with a brain), and makes it easier for the listeners. AND you get to say to the advertisers, "We have hundreds of phone calls a week!!!!!!!!"
:puke:
And so, I would not say that the hosts are graded on the number of callers. I would say that they are very much instructed by the station to have a lot of callers.
