Aren't you and Pat are saying the same thing?

There is no need for mass media with a Liberal slant, because it is already all around us. - Pat

Put very simply, who wants to listen to liberal crap?- EagleUSA

In either statement, nobody wants to listen to liberal radio because they see it all the time on the television or read it in the paper.

I understand your point about the lack of demand for liberal radio but I also think it is strongly tied to Sajak's notion that the presence of AA is redudant due to the overwhelming presence of liberal pap in other mediums.

hey, give Vanna a break! You'd walk unsure too if you never got to walk in the same pair twice.

We may all agree that Err Amerika represents the finest in state-of-the-art liberal dreck, but here's the downside that we aren't paying attention to. If (when) Err Amerika goes down the tubes, we will have to listen to a new onslaught of phoney charges that the "conservative media" is not letting them get "their message" out.

Granted, it's a lame charge, but it's one that any number of leftist sycophants (Soros comes to mind) will spend any amount of money to buy crutches, wheelchairs and prosthetics for this lame charge to keep it alive.

Great graphic,TG! ROFLOL!!!!!

[longtermmemmory]

who wants to be that the left will claim it was all a conspiracy.

Besides, I think clearchannel will pick up the personalities for a bargain for their "boutique" leftist stations so they can have 100% of left and right listeners when listernership ratings are combined.

It's hard to keep it interesting when you can't openly say what you most strongly believe in:

Defeat for America abroad and Socialism for Americans at home.

[libs_kma]

Yeah, but if air-head, air-dead America fails..who going to hire that Jeanine Garfolo or Barfolo person?

She'll just become another one of those liberal 'intellectuals' that are too intelligent to hold a job or go to college. I mean, why should they? President Bush will just find a way to make them irrelevant anyway, right?

"I remember thinking (even as a tender lad), "huh. this must be grown up humor, because it's not making me laugh." -- or the 10 year old equivalent of that."

My exact thoughts at the time as well.

[Trimegistus]

Is it just me, or does Al Franken look disturbingly like Jack Nicholson as the Joker in the original Batman film?

Hmmm... antisocial psychopath, thinks he's funny... hmmm...

[Young Werther]

...but...but...Al Franken graduated from {gulp} Harvard!

Heh! Heh! Well he's not Blond and Beootifool!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Maybe if they played oldies the'd gain a 2 share ?

[Mr. Jazzy]

It was quite awhile ago, but I seem to remember one really awful skit. Pardon my memory, I may not have all the details quite correct. The creepy bit I remember the duo performing involved Franken calling his (supposed) parents on the stage with him, sort of like a "This Is Your Life" thing, and then telling the elderly man and woman that they were awful parents to Franken, that the father was a drunkard and that the mother slept around! I watched the bit is utter amazement, listening to the audience laugh nervosly at the stiuation before them. It ended with Franken violently shouting at the presumed mom and dad and chasing them off camera.

Nothing funny about their entire bit. Just abuse of others.

[coffeebreak]

People are bombarded by the left all day long from kindergarten to college and beyond, newspapers and most of television. WHY would ANYONE want to here more of it?! Of course it's failing.

[DTogo]

AA is flailing because it's the same ole non-stop negativity of the Left that very few want to hear: the economy is bad, the military is bad (but we support the Troops), our president is evil, we have no health insurance, our enemies hate us and it's our own fault, there is no God, Christmas should be banned...

That right there, who wants to listen to peopla allied with an organization that wants to ban Christmas??

[Vasilli22]

Pray for cancer.

[al baby]

Pray for cancer.,

I can't stand that women but wishing her cancer aint cool

[smag999]

Ed Schultz???? You ever listen to his show? All he does is take callers and they are the most ill informed uneducated lefties I have ever heard. Even when they spout obvious misstatements Ed does not correct them because HE HIMSELF IS A BLITHERING IDIOT ABOUT FACTS!

Ed even tries to be a homeboy with blacks calling them "bro" when they call in.

I notice he does not call himself the "fastest growing radio show in America" anymore now that Bill Bennett is on 50% more stations than he is in less time.

[raccoonradio]

It's not right to kick somebody when they're down. But in this case, we'll make an exception.
