Her reply to me was the question, “Were you entertained?” This show isn’t about disseminating facts, but entertainment. So, Dave, you hit it right on the head! C2C’s main function is to entertain its listeners, without being judgmental about its content. The hosts (George Noory, Art Bell, and sometimes Ian Punnitt) don’t have to believe what is aired, but they don’t express disbelief either. All we can do is pity the folks that believe all that is on. The problem is that many people accept what is presented on Coast To Coast AM as the literal truth. I happen to believe that an informed electorate capable of critical thinking is vital to the well-being of a modern democracy. Dave Mitsky Bill said:
