As Bill O’Reilly summed up Hume’s point, “You believe that in Congress, if somebody has to run every two years as they do, and they get on the wrong side of a powerful radio voice… they can really do them bad damage if they promote the other guy.”

Hume made pains to clarify that he doesn’t think talk radio “controls” Congress, but it is a factor in their political calculus. “If you are sitting over in the House of Representatives and some measures of defund Obamacare comes along,” Hume explained, “and you think it’s a suicide mission because it might involve a government shutdown, you are going to be hesitant to oppose it anyway because you don’t want the most conservative–you don’t want the tea party and you don’t want the conservative radio talk show host on your back.”
