I am also tuning out talk a bit as that last election was a killer, esp. here in Massachusetts...what’s the point? Though non-political talk thrown in can be fun.
>> it simply does not matter... The only purpose listening to talk radio served over the last four years was to give the listener angst and defeated hope. We are riding this train until the end of the line, and it simply does not matter how many people tell you along the way that the train is going to crash.
Yes. And I get a kick out of those on the left who complain that their side isn’t being heard on radio.
a) It is being heard. It didn’t succeed as commercial radio but there is plenty of liberal talk on radio, on powerful FM stations, and it’s taxpayer funded. It’s called NPR.
b) Gee around here they have 99 per cent of the offices.
What’s the point of liberal talk radio—it’s not like they’re struggling in terms of lawmakers. Conservative talk works because it’s the OPPOSITION of that type of politics.
And there are plenty of other places to get lefty
viewpoints believe me
Another factor here, I think, is that seemingly that objective of various talk radio hosts is to get republicans elected.
But to what end? The republican party serves no purpose to anyone or anything other than to the democrat party.
Some might say that the purpose of talk radio hosts is to see conservatives elected, not simply just republicans, and that may well be so, but we did that in 2010, and the result of that effort was zero, nadda, not one single thing.
The republican party consumed any elected conservative into the void, because that is one of its fucntions for the democrat party.
