RE :”As conservative politics attempts to reach out and rebuild, the incentives for conservative radio hosts point in exactly the opposite direction. The fact of the matter is that the survival of news talk radio “depends on ratings and revenue, not on getting people elected, or even on bring right,” says Harrison”

Missed here :
1) Talk radio get more popular as their side loses power(which is why you want to always question what you hear) , and less popular as their side has power but flounders
2) Talk radio has never seen more listeners because of #1
3) revenues down simply because commercials everywere are down with Obama economy nothing to do with number of listeners which is up.
