Well, O’Reilly and Limbaugh in this country would fall into the liberal category in Afghanistan. The comparison is disingenuous.

Note that soap opera's are mostly watched by women. Daytime TV is some of the only freedom and contact with the outside that the women have access to in repressive islamic countries where women are mostly confined to the home. When the men are gone, they can at least breathe a little and watch the TV. Now they are even cracking down on that.

@1- Dan didn't mention O'Reilly or Limbaugh in his post, so what "comparison" is disingenuous?
