Why is it that liberals come off as snide, condescending and dismissive?

You can make criticisms like that in both directions; I think it might be the nature of punditry. I find Al Franken, Dennis Miller, Hillary Clinton, and William Bennett all equally condescending and dismissive.

There is only one reason for this Liberal Radio Network, and it is to skirt Campaign Finance Laws. After the election, they will quietly go away, but beforehand, they will run continuous negative adds against Bush ignoring the 90 day rule, because they wont be around to be prosecuted later.

Liberal Candidates will get their adds run for little or no money, while Conservative adds will be declined. All illegal, but when they go out of business in December, who is left to go after?

So an entire station has to be bought to have this show? "Progress" media or liberal media will die very shortly.

he can't use profanity

Yes he can, according to recent a recent FCC decision. Where liberals apply their decadent touch, be it the American family, public discourse, education, religion, sexuality, or entertainment, things become corrupt, profane, vile, repulsive, tasteless, hopeless, negative, cowardly, immoral, amoral, senseless, aimless, defecatory, puerile, vain, selfish, insulting, secular, and costly to taxpayers.

I'll bet that when ratings defeat attempts to sell the frankenproduct to market outlets that DemocRats call for tax subsidies to ensure that proper diversive balance can be provided to an obviously ignorant populace ... OOOPS! Pardon me, I'm getting forgetful (I am TheGeezer, after all) - we already have PBS and NPR, don't we?

This all reminds me of when Tim Robbins decried a "cold chill" about free speech when he was giving a speech to the National Press Club. What more needs to be said about the lack of understanding of the concept of free speech?

...about 65 percent of the network's programming has been decided, but he declined to elaborate beyond disclosing another new show to be co-hosted by the environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called "Champions of Justice."

LOL

The guy isn't even slightly interesting or funny.

And that's somehow going to make a successful radio show?

I think not.

If Franken talks himself to death and there is noone to listen, will he be gone forever?

...Robert F. Kennedy Jr...

OMG! Once again -- I find him to be an effective writer, but he's got a terrible speaking voice! Oh well. Screw it.

WNTD Chicago is a Spanish language station ranked in the bottom 3 of ratings. They're definitely hurting if they can't find a better station in the market.

while I find him an effective writer...

B.S. Franken can barely write his name on a check. His so-called book was written by a gaggle of researchers assigned to baby-sit this dumbass while he paraded as a visiting scholar at Haavaad.

Just wondering, has there ever been a syndicated liberal show that lasted over 6 months?

Who would not prefer to hear three hours of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Three Blind Mice" or "The Three Bears" or just three hours of nothing but Nursery Rhymes rather than the Dembutts who live in a world of unreality all their own?
