    I listen to Mark Levine and to a program called "Redeye" that comes on from midnight till 4am.
    Mark Levine makes me laugh. The "Redeye" program is good background noise for sleep.
    They are both conservative talk radio programs.

    NPR is not liberal in the political ideology vein. NPR is too far to the promiscuous left when it comes to sexual orientation. NPR has never met a homosexual, lesbian, or trans sexual that it did not give excess time to or excess and exposure to. Our local NPR station has a lesbian on who once had a daily show. She did have a political show on once a week or so which could have been ok if she could have found a real conservative as a balance. They took away her daily show but let her keep her snooty tutti fruiti foodie show once a week.

    There are other shows that had at least tried to balance a conservative and a liberal if it was about politics. The liberals are not flames and the conservatives are extreme either. I mean not Fox News type or Michael ( Savage or Reagan) or Laura.

    If anyone things that NPR will have gebonees such as Savage or a Rush as their "conservative" forget it.

    I do not believe that Rush, Savage or some other RW mouths are really conservatives. They are just blow hards who have the ignorant fooled into thinking that they are conservatives.

    Years ago before same sex "marriage" was allowed here this woman on NPR claimed that she got married in Canada. She kept interjecting antidotes about her "spouse" as she called her same sex partner. " My spouse this my spouse that". If I was listening or had NPR on in the background I would hit the change button or off button the second Miss "spouse" came on.

    This woman sickened me so much with her "my spouse this my spouse that" to a point that I only listen to Science Friday on NPR now. The Car Talk show was great but one of the brothers decided to die so that show closed up.

    PS you want go hear crazy assed whackadoodle liberal forget NPR and stumble into Pacifica. My alma mat college station has them. Talk about out in Jupiter somewhere.

    Good for you. Do you only filter out 1/2 the propaganda? You didn't mention the RW propaganda. Or are you brainwashing yourself to them?

    Better to not pretend to you what you post about.

    Nonsensical blanket statements such as this only reveal an irrational bias. How would you know if NPR "never met a homosexual, lesbian, or trans sexual that it did not give excess time to or excess and exposure to"?

    I have no idea whether they are conservatives or merely play them on the radio.

    I've heard both heterosexual and homosexual hosts occasionally refer to their spouses. It usually merits mention within the context of the discussion and does not distract from the topic for me.

    I'm not interested in hyper-partisan opinion radio of any flavor. It is not reportage, and merely exploits the work or real journalists when not promoting blatant crackpot conspiracy paranoia.

    Yeah I forgot all about Car Talk.I used to revel on their Saturday
    morning show.I am amazed how time flies and one forgets about
    the Good Old days.Which weren't always that old.Car Talk was
    a treasure.I see where Sirius Radio has a Car Talk channel { 122 }.
    I Need to look into that.About the only thing NPR offered that wasn't
    sickeningly routine.

    What propaganda? I listen to Rush on occasion. When he says something major I research --- never take anything for granted. Even though he is up front an opinion guy, I've never found anything he says to be misleading. On the other hand, radical outlets like CNN or MSNBC portray themselves as being 'news' while they skew the news they do report and censor news that doesn't support their viewpoint. There is only one viewpoint across all radical leftist outlets, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC. I've heard many montages of these radicals addressing notable events and they all use the same words as though a chief radical was scripting the whole radical media establishment messaging.

    You seem to have a lack of understanding of both market ratings as well as owner decisions. Especially as you noted it was an extremely blue area. Why would you expect that conservative shows would hold significant ratings in such a liberal area?

    That's because you aren't listening to the right talk radio. Try to go more local instead of nationality syndicated.

    Expect Nothin' less than what happened to Air America.
    Funded to the max and still could not cut the muster.
    because they were TOO Liberal and TOO out of touch with Mainstream
    America.The Title was all wrong.
    Should a been ... :
    Air Amigo.
    Or better still :
    Air Unamerican

    Local or Loco.?
    The best Talk Radio is done by the best.Like most anything in Life.
    Like the Olympics.Like quality college basketball.
    Like a 4 star Michelin rated restaurant.
    Which explains why guys like Joe Scarborough and Rachel Maddow
    aren't doing Radio any longer.Scarborough hosted a syndicated talk radio
    show { along with sidekick Mika Brzezinski } called - The Joe Scarborough Show -.

    Thanks for the validation about what you can't handle, nor ever could. But then I could read your limitations without any deep study. Simple is as simple does.

    Radical outfits like CNN? LOL.
    They are no different than Rush. They cater to their audience. So they can sell advertising.
    That is all the media is, a product to sell advertising.

    I listen to John and Ken on 640 AM, KFI...-> https://kfiam640.iheart.com/featured/john-and-ken/

    For entertainment and laughs I'll occasionally listen to the Tim Conway Show at night also on the most listened to AM station in America, KFI. -> https://kfiam640.iheart.com/featured/tim-conway-jr/

    I tried to listen to liberal talk radio when they launched "Air America" but being a left wing talk radio it crashed before ever getting airborne.

    Yes, Elder is regularly prattled out in discussions with Right Wingers. Right Wingers are unable to think for themselves, and therefore rely on celebrity ideologues to swallow their worldview.

    All Right Wingers have the same things in common, they have been duped by wealthy men who built this alternative knowledge system starting back in the 1970s that has produced legions of misinformed ideologues who are poisoning American politics and the world.

    Anyone here not a winger, left or right? Anyone tired of wingers dominating the political conversation?

    More right wing media rhetoric, that's some good programming. It was Conservative white Christians in the South that operated the slave plantations, and those states are awfully Red today.
