As for the Censorship Doctrine, I have no real idea what that is. I know it has something to do with talk radio, but I don’t listen to talk radio. I tried to listen to Air America once - thinking “Hey! Talk Radio for the left, that’s awesome!” It was not awesome. It was very, very far from awesome.

Well, read up on it from our perspective. I'm not typing up the dissertation tonight, too much to go in to. Yes, Air America sucks and Liberal radio doesn't sell which is validation that the nation is Center-Right.

I somehow missed this before, but I thought I’d refute this point. Just because conservative talk radio does better than liberal talk radio doesn’t prove it’s a center-right country. After all, the mainstream media is far, far more successful than talk radio, which is more of a niche market.

When you add up television and film, which I would guess you guys feel has, overall, a liberal slant - as well as cable news (except Fox), network news, and then news magazines and so forth - I think you’re looking at an argument that the country is center left.

The difference is, much of the national media is just that - national. Whereas talk radio is more targeted in its markets - and thus thrives in the deeper red parts of the country.
