Savage is generally known to be more outspoken, or more direct, than other conservative commentators.  Some view this as his way of driving home points to liberals, who he seems to view as cynical.  Other conservatives are strongly against such methods.  However, many do find them to be effective and count themselves as fans of his show, which was named by ''Talkers Magazine'' as the 3rd most influential talk show in America.<ref>[http://66.227.50.219/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=44 Talkers Magazine 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America, 2008]</ref>
