I want to add two points I noticed when trying to give liberal radio a fair shot.
1. The liberal/Democratic base is significantly younger than the conservative/Republican group. Getting talk radio to look "cool" to a bunch of liberal 20-somethings is a losing battle, methinks.
2. They had NO content. The few times I flipped over, intending to listen and give it a chance I heard: A) Dead air, B) A gardening show (twice) and C) Two hosts talking about uninteresting events in the life of a celebrity I'm not familiar with.
I disagree. The RATS depend more on the old Yellowdog Dems and 60's protestors than any other group. Gen X and Y are more conservative than their Boomer parents. You only see the DUhmmies who go to anti-war, anti-American protests because that's what the mediots want you to see. X and Y kids were too young to remember the heyday of liberalism during Vietnam and Watergate, but get just as annoyed as the rest of us when they see the Left try to recreate those halcyon days by bashing the military and President Bush. And they're old enough to see and understand what 9-11 meant and realize that this is a war between freedom and Islamic fanaticism.
