How much anyone likes or dislikes Cohen is a matter of personal taste. While he did take calls, he was also a highly informed/knowledgeable guy with an extensive network of contacts to call upon. Since he wasnt affiliated with a network (he owned the company that did the show) he was free to air opinions that others might not be able to publicly express. I guess how much one likes caller driven shows is a matter of taste. But I wouldnt call them time wasters. I think these kinds of programs can help develop and nurture a community if done with care.
