"it is going to be a long, long, long time before liberal talk radio develops any real following"

Jonah Goldberg bump. Big fan here.

OK. OK. OK. Here is my Al Franken radio broadcast impersonation:
"Uh, Uh, Uh, uh, Uh...."
Pretty good, huh? OK, here is the same impression of Franken on most local radio stations across the country:
( insert lots and lots of static here )

Problem is they forgot to put a brain in Al Frankenstein when they assembled him in lib-lab and released him into the wild.

You know what they say about boats.... a giant hole in the water into which you pour money. Err America is bigger than the Titanic, and so, I say, God bless 'em. Have at it.

Their problem isn't lack of talent. Liberals have plenty of talent and aptitude for entertainment.
The problem is that liberalism doesn't go over well in a straight non-fiction format like talk radio. It works better when it's indirect -- when it's woven into movies, TV shows, news stories, etc as an unstated subtext. That's the sort of thing that drive conservatives (like me) batty.
As soon as they step out of the realm of fiction, the message loses all its appeal, and no one has enough talent to change that.

Man, I tried to listen to Jenean Gerbuffalo's show the other night and all it was was conspiracy theories in between horrible attempts at humor. She tries to hard to be funny and it shows.

"it is going to be a long, long, long time before liberal talk radio develops any real following" They will have to start with the truth, which of course the democrats and liberals cannot do. Their entire philosophy is based on fiction, and half truths. They will also have to pay attention to the law and obey it.

Another reason why Liberal radio will fail is Err America wants only Liberal voices heard on their phones. Limbaugh of course wants Liberal voices on his phones first, just to make him look good by setting them straight with the truth of the matter and the facts.

Hmmm, there have already been pools on when they will fail. I think what we need now is Al Franken's Top Ten Excuses for Air America's Failure.
1. The VRWC sabotaged me by refusing to listen.
2. We didn't have as much funding as Rush
3. We were too sophisticated for the dumb yokels.
4. We didn't fail, we are still growing but just negatively.
5. Arbitron was broken.
6. Big business wouldn't advertise because they are evil conservative corporations.
7. We were never able to put our "really best show" on because of political correctness.
8. The FCC canceled the Howard Stern show, they would have canceled us too, so we quit just to show them.
9. People couldn't accept Garafalo as a woman of power.
10. We just plain stunk up the place. Oooops, that's a joke. (nervous laugh)

As Goldberg reminds us, "Conservative talk radio is the alternative media. It became popular because conservatives lost the battle for the political culture, not because they won it." Well, they lost the battle for the control of the conventional broadcast and print media, to be sure, but the struggle for the actual political culture itself simply found another arena, one in which the stifling level of groupthink present in, say, the network newsrooms, was not present. What is revealing in all of this is the level to which the liberal control of the conventional media is dependent on this groupthink. Bernard Goldberg documents this in some detail in Bias.
