Only the later.
I know it was a rhetorical question.
And this is exactly my frustration. Taken as a whole, the MSM, the Internet, Talk Radio, .... all opinions are given equal time (IMO). However, if you are selective and regulate the speech in Talk Radio and no other medium, then an imbalance will occur.
Besides, Liberal talk radio is not at all successful. Probably mostly because Liberals don’t really want to listen.
Besides I bet that most Conservatives were driven to talk radio because the MSM was so biased. I know I was.
So, who are they trying to reach, convert and control? Not Liberals, but Conservatives.
