what these total idiots didn't bother to even consider much less discuss is that 'talk radio' is a BUSINESS and is subject to market forces like any other business.

the fact they ignore is that liberal-slanted radio DOESN'T sell. 'air america' is the case in point.

This is ridiculous!....The dumbasses of the left have no clue! We listen to Rush because he says what’s on our minds already!Just because the drones line up behind Obama and will go over the cliff with him does not mean the right is as stupid as they are!

They don’t have access? How about the hundreds and hundreds of NPR affiliates generously provided from sea-to-sea by your fellow citizens’ taxpayer dollars?

subject to market forces

They seriously don't understand what this means.
All must be (and is) directed from some central dictating body, in their world.

This is why they seek to gain control of that central body, because "the market", ie, the natural laws and consequences, never work in their favor. This leads them to believe that the central controlling entity, whatever it is, is intentionally acting against them.

“CNN’s Carol Costello”

All libtards lie all the time. If they want to escalate the situation until it’s out of control, I’m fine with that.

Yes - everyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist, sexist, homophobic bigot.

But we all knew that, so this is a non-story.

What a coincidence. The White House is pushing the same message.

Let me see....the liberal viewpoint is promulgated on 4 out of 5 TV networks, nearly all of Hollywood’s output, NPR, and most newspapers-the liberal slant simply cannot be escaped, but one conservative talker dominates AM-freaking radio, and HE’S a bully.

Isn’t it amazing how badly people can “psychoanalyze” when the bias precedes the observation?

Here’s my dime-store psychoanalysis, since everyone is an expert, so am I.

Liberals don’t listen to talk radio because they are afraid to engage the world. Liberals have an avoidant personality, and they would prefer to immerse themselves in entertainment (FM radio) as an aversion to reality.

Conservatives do not have a fear based mentality, and view life as an opportunity at best, and as a challenge at it’s worst, and thus are prone to engage and participate. This is why they appreciate talk radio. Information and discussion gets them involved.

Liberals are not concerned with anything that they have to deal with, only with what they are to be given. Fast food, FM radio, and freebies.

This entire argument is a perfect illustration of why liberal policies are destroying this country. In their minds it’s all about parity. In their minds, if there were an equal amount of conservative and liberal talk radio shows, then people would listen equally between them. In their minds, the lack of liberal talk shows is because the radio stations are in some conspiracy to keep them out. They just can’t fathom the idea that it’s about what the consumer wants. Liberal shows barely exist because people who listen to talk radio don’t want to listen to them.

It’s the same with our economy. In the liberal mind, they can’t fathom the idea of competition determining which businesses are in power and which ones go under. In their minds, it’s simply a matter of putting two choices side-by-side and both will flourish even though 90%+ of the consumers don’t want option two.

Is Randy Rhoades out of jail yet?

She is an insane maggot Commie who craves breadlines and a Kafka-esque existence for “us” where the “elites” (herself included) will live as the 1%.

These idiots are so far out of touch with people who believe in the America that was founded by our forefathers and the Constitution they framed and our Creator, that they are blinded to the TRUTH.

They think the game is still in effect.

It’s over. The left’s attempt to label the opposition only works if the opposition allows it. Sorry, game over.

Leftys of all striped are simply irrelevant.

How about a psychoanalysis of Olberman viewers, or are repeated references to tossing feces and mastrubation too much even for CNN?

If anyone is interested, the following links lead to articles written by a psychologist totally destroying ‘studies’ performed by liberal pyschiatrists/psychologists which then a appear in pop media and the MSN uses to ‘prove’ that being conservative is a psychological illness.
