I'm serious Shuckins. All that AM "conservative" stuff is infotainment and about as reputable as the Weekly World News or professional wrestling. It's hate radio that fans the flames and beats it's own drum. It has a marketshare and that's the only thing keeping AM radio on the air.

I personally listen to The Russ Martin Show. It's anything but political or politically correct.

Maybe liberals prefer to think for themselves instead of having a radio celebrity tell them what to think.

You must have learned that in Free Thinking 101. "Repeat after me class: No liberal...can ever be told.. .what to think or say. All our thoughts...are original. Only feeble-minded conservatives...are incapable of independent thought...and depend on the will of others....to give their lives...meaning and direction."

I certainly hear a lot of different permutations of that from some members of the left.

Anything that makes the PC/Liberals, (aka Closet Communists), squeel like stuck piggies, SOUNDS GREAT TO ME!!!!

Secretly, I wish it was my Kbar knife that was causing the squeelin....

But the pinko's won't stop pushing...

So it will boil down to that, sooner or later...

Are you implying that Liberal radio can't get a frequency/station? Seems like Air America had no problem getting the necessary FCC permits, etc.

They failed because not enough people listened and their advertisers dropped out.

Pretty simple.

Now you can go on and on about why people didn't listen but the reason for failure isn't in doubt.

BTW, I listen exclusively to music, not talk, radio.

myelo... then how do you explain that liberals tend to stay in areas both physical and mental where they are surrounded with only other liberals? acadamia.. schools.. big cities...

I think it telling that they (liberals) on the one hand, say that public radio is not biased but on the other want the right and the moderates to be forced to support it. If it were fair it would have an audience.

radio is a very small part of what we are forced to listen to or are allowed to listen to every day. No one is forcing people to listen to talk radio or judge judy or the local left wing news or left wing rag newspaper.

What is happening is that people are sick of the left wing slant... nannyism, in every part of their life... right wing or conservative radio plays to the things that they feel if not being said.

Who amoung the left wing newspapers or tv news shows has ever said that illegal immigration was bad? or even that it was more than just "undocumented"? yet... 85% of the people want it to stop.. Look at all the air time sharpton and jackson get and how they are pandered to? Talk radio is a release from this babble.

It is babble of it's own but... obviously it is striking a chord.

When other news sources like local tv and newspapers and magazines start being fair and less PC liberal rags.... they might start to stop the mass exodus from their audience.

Talk radio succeeds because everything else is so liberal and... wrong... that people are desperate to hear the other side.

And no MT... I did not feel news was better in the 80's All news has always been the opinion of the person who writes it.

because their target audience usually listens to rap when they have the boom box er radio on and their attention span can not handle a 2 to 3 hour radio talk show .. not enough pictures to follow along with

why would liberals listen to liberal talk radio? they have no need. They get all the reinforcement they need from the liberal news and newspapers and media and hollywood... it is all around them and....

lets face it... talk radio is frustrating to listen to... it is so rife with commercials that it is almost impossible to listen to. I switch back and forth between it and NPR while driving myself...

Liberals get their reinforcement every day in every media outlet.. why would they want to listen to a liberal talk radio station telling them what they hear all day long anyway? especially since talk radio is so full of commercials.

eagler is not far off... they would just as soon listen to music.

Do you remember
Back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country jesus, hillbilly blues,
Thats where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
In every county there,
Im talkin bout that outlaw x
Is cuttin through the air.

Anywhere, yall,
Everywhere, yall,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the x.

We can all thank doctor b
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
cause if you dont Im sure you wont
Get to feeling right.

Anywhere, yall,
Everywhere, yall,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the x."

Yeah who would have thought it would be the liberals to take the first steps to really limit freedom of speach.

Regardless of the point of view, all the talk radio I happen upon annoys me.

Logical fallicies abound, really dislike the tone and preaching to the choir zest.

Give me the slow, steady, and serious discussion anyday.

Oh, its a pandering cash cow too.

I was listening to Colin Cowherd on ESPN radio yesterday.Why he was on the subject I don't know,but his comment about why liberal talk radio fails was as follows;"Liberals are too busy smoking weed to bother with listening to talk radio."
