A "firebrand libertarian" according to Daily Variety, best-selling author, radio and TV talk-show host Larry Elder has a take-no-prisoners style, using such old-fashioned things as evidence and logic. Larry shines the bright light of reasoned analysis on many of the myths and hypocrisies apparent in our system of government, our society and the media itself. He slays dragons and topples sacred cows using facts, common sense and a ready wit. Larry has hosted the longest-running afternoon drive time radio show in Los Angeles since March 1994. "The Larry Elder Show," a top-rated daily program from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. (PT) on KABC 790, became a nationally syndicated daily talk show for ABC Radio Networks on Aug. 12, 2002. Known to his listeners as the "Sage From South Central," Larry sizzles on the airwaves with his thoughtful insight on the day's most provocative issues, to the delight, consternation and entertainment of his listeners. Larry was also host of the television shows "Moral Court" and "The Larry Elder Show." Larry created, directed and produced his first film, "Michael & Me," a documentary that examines the use of guns in America. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/LarryElder http://media.townhall.com/TownHall/icons/TH-feed-icon-128x128.gif http://www.townhall.com/columnists/LarryElder TownHall.com, Where your opinion counts. 128 Copyright (c) 2008 Townhall.com, A Salem Communications Web.
