Liberal Talk Radio--Why no one will buy it(Copy/Paste warning)

[Ripsnort]

"Is there an audience for liberal talk? Sure. Just take a look at that notorious 2000 campaign map, a schizophrenic blotch of red and blue Americans. At any given moment, half the citizenry detests George Bush, an "illegitimate" president who "stole the election." The same people zealously hold Bush personally responsible for war, poverty, pestilence, famine, spotty cellphone reception, and the common cold. Here's your audience!......But take another look at that map. The death knell you see lurking is audience demographics (i.e. it's the economy, stupid). Red (Bush) vs. Blue (Gore) is a distinction of ideology, but it is also, as frankly we know, essentially a division of social class, race, and income. The red audience is largely suburban, college educated, professional, middle class; the blue (potential) audience more urban, less well educated, lower income. And this difference will matter infinitely more in the radio booth than the voting booth."

LOL! Great read. Take the time...

Jay Severin is host of an afternoon talk radio program on 96.9 FM.

Hmmm... I wonder what his angle is...

We'll see if it flys or not. One interesting thing is that they'll have a show dedicated to the daily debunking of Limbaugh's lies. That, for me, is long past overdue.

Another show will be Al Frankens 'O'Franken Factor'. Direct satirical responses on current politcal issues....this should be funny...if you like Franken. The fact that you don't Rip, just makes the show even more appealing to me

Randi Rhodes will have her regular slot just after the 'three hour hate monger' at 3pm weekdays. Randi, who's last job was at WNJO Florida, was able to keep her job on a Clear Channel station by being the number one talk radio personality in ratings for her timeslot for over 5 years despite the left wing content of the show. Her show, IMO, is going to be just one of the most listened to on AirAmerica.

Also, instead of falling to the influence of op-ed writings from RW pundits, why don't you hold your opinion until after listening for a bit then making your own informed opinion instead of parroting the RW shills?

Personaly, I can't wait for tomorrows launch of AirAmerica, the RW has had a free ride for all too long on talk radio in America. I wonder if AFR will carry AirAmerica....for some reason I doubt they'll allow any show that debunks the lies of Limbaugh to be aired on AFR broadcast to our troops.

You gotta be pretty stupid to buy that red-blue BS. Since when do we count votes based on acreage?

I like al franken even if he is a nut.  I was listening to Rush one day when he announced that Al Franken announced he was starting his own radio show.  Rush was really cool about it saying that he has allways said if a libral wants to start a radio show to call him first and he will tell you exactly what libral america needs.

guess what...Franken called him and rush said they had a very polite conversation.  What's next cats and dogs getting along?

Personally I dont think a we hate bush radio station will work.  There is only so much Bush hating to go on and then librals have to start putting their message out.....that takes all of a minutes cause librals dont have a message.

This is rich! Severin trying to piss on AirAmerica. He must be afraid to be up against Randi Rhodes in the 3pm to 7pm timeslot.

Liberals have a message you just choose not to listen to it. Alot of liberals say the same thing about conservitives. Both just cover their ears and scream whenever someone moderate trys to talk about the issues.

Now... if we're talking art... I'd rather see Dawn of the Dead. Gibson's movie only had one zombie. Dawn has hundreds.
