A level playing field doesn't mean the winning team gets their arms broken and the losers get submachine guns. It means the "field" is level. Period. Liberals can have any shows they want if and it's a big "if", if they can attract enough people who want to hear them - hence enough advertisers to support the show.

You would think tax supported public radio - in every US market 24/7 would be enough... and that's the next thing conservatives have to go after. I'm tired of my tax money supporting liberal "public" radio.

Leftists (they’re NOT liberal) judge the “fairness” of any system by the outcomes.

It logically follows that people who make dumb behavioral decisions and have bad outcomes are victims of an unfair system, so government needs to step in and fix the problem.

In this case, progressive/collectivist/leftist radio fails because of inherent problems in the system, not because it fails based on its own merits.

Or, as was the case with Err America, borrow 800 G's from The Boys & Girls Club of America.
