Not so.

Liberals are incapable of selling their ideology logically [because it isn't logical], that is why they cannot compete with conservative talk radio. Conservatism makes sense, liberalism [when explained properly] makes you want to puke.

Why would a liberal listen to that?

For liberals, it feels better to remain ignorant.

Sorry but conservative talk radio is popular, because as I have said before, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, bill oreilly, and michael savage are loud and controversial egomaniacs! Those may not be the characteristics you want in a friend, but in a radio host it makes for good entertainment!

Sorry billy, but conservatives in this country don't make sense! If I were to ask them to define their beliefs, they would have dozens of issues which don't fit in at all! Conservatism only makes sense in the mind of conservatives! This didn't used to be the case, conservatives used to be pragmatists, which "just makes sense." But they haven't been pragmatists for about 30 years!

We don't want every story to positive. We just want equal coverage. Is that too much to ask?

The fact that Rush, Hannity and FOX get monster ratings shows that those views are shared by large portions of this country and these people are drawn to these outlets becuase they can't find equal coverage anywhere else.

If it were just an entertainment value Air America would be getting huge ratings too. Remember, Al Franken is a former Saturday Night Live performer and writer for many years and Janeane Garafolo is a comedian and actress.

Rosie, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Letterman, Whoopie, etc. are all talented left leaning comedians with their own chances at ratings.

Yet all the controversial crap that Air America spews won't keep them afloat.....I wonder why?

If controversy is all it takes, there are ample opportunities for libs to make tons of money in the radio business.

The problem many liberals have, is they don't know where the line is! There is acceptable controversy, and unacceptable controversy! Liberals too often cross over into the unacceptable region and say politically incorrect things! Like maybe the terrorists don't hate us for our freedom, but for our foreign policy! That is politically incorrect and is the type of thing that gets people in trouble! Saying bad things about fereigners is fine(which is what conservatives do), but saying bad things about america will not be tolerated!

Well it's so much more than that. Libs have a rep for blaming America first and asking questions later. Ever since 9/11 every lefty I've heard talks about the war on terror as an afterthought and usually only to remind people that Iraq had notjing to do with it. I've heard more hatred for Bush than for Osama Bin Laden.

If the left showed me half as much hatred for the terrorists as they do for Bush I'd manage at least a bit of respect for them.

One argument I have heard is that an overwhelming amount of journalists and newscasters are Liberal. I am not going to argue that point. The point is that the news we read in our newspaper and see on TV is finalized by editors who have to answer to CEOs who have to answer to their corporate advertisers. Also keep in mind that the News agencies have a strong relationship with their corporate shareholders and owners.



See this video to understand
If that video gets dumbass liberals to hate global warming, then it's a all 100% true. However, if you actually believe something so stupid, you deserve worse than global warming - you deserve to believe every little trick and crisis that the liberal media creates. You deserve to fight and lose against people with common sense, and you deserve to lose every single argument. Then you deserve to fall for it again, and again, and again.

That's exactly correct. They know they can never win in the free marketplace of ideas, so they want to shut conservative radio down. They are like a store owner who can't compete against a better store, so he solves the problem by burning down the other store.
