This column over the years has been interested in liberalism in a special way, as a coroner is interested in a corpse in a special way. Specifically I have been interested in the pathologies that laid the patient low. What precisely has been the cause of death?
The coroner asks what made a robust fellow a corpse. Was it a remorseless cancer or a tragic accident? Was it Huntington’s disease or something else, possibly, simple alcoholism? In the case of the liberal, the cause of death was almost certainly a massive overindulgence. Simply stated, the liberals attempted too much. They even attempted to solve problems that were not conventionally understood as problems. After all, there were no plausible solutions, for instance, for the elimination of poverty, which in America amounts to relative deprivation, not destitution. How can we solve a citizen’s relative deprivation?
As a result of liberalism’s morbidity there are places in America where the liberal once thrived but now has completely vanished. Consider talk radio. I can remember back when the liberal completely dominated the medium. Back in the late 1950s, the 1960s, even in the 1970s, there were people like Jerry Williams in Boston and Irv Kupcinet in Chicago. Now they are gone.
Even when Al Gore summoned the left’s billionaires to subsidize talk radio with something called Air America the endeavor utterly failed. Talk radio is the domain of conservatives. So dominant are conservatives in radio that today talk radio has become a synonym for conservatism. “Talk radio,” the voices of the left admonish (there are no voices of liberalism remaining), “is the enemy of Obamacare, of holding hands with moderate terrorists, of the minimum wage.”

It doesn’t work conservatives buy the ads money talk bs walks LOL!
NPR is on talk radio
But that’s “public” (government) radio.
Probably because they don’t make any ad revenue.
Not sure but - nothing to say? All they did was attack Conservative principles with personal attacks and had no real meaningful intelligent discussions about differences and why.
they’ve tried, but listening to them is hard because they are so stupid...
People can listen to the radio WHILE WORKING and most conservatives have jobs- while the libtards are getting up to watch TV at the crack of noon.
Conservatism is dead, not liberalism.
Because Leftist ‘talk show hosts’ are one note Johnnies? Or because their listeners have the attention span of a flea?
Bill Handel, KFI, you can argue the show format but he is a huge lefty and talks,talks, talks the lefts talking points.
The question answers itself
There are no “lefties” on the radio because no body wants to hear their whining and bitching. It’s been tried several times before and failed miserably every time, of which I am very happy.
Most lefties get their news from Comedy Central.
probably for the same reason there are no right wing comedians.
Because no sane listener wants to hear three hours of his beloved country being torn to pieces. It ain’t uplifting.
In talk radio you will get pushback and different ideas expressed.
Lefties have not been able to handle that. -Tom
Arguments shot down too fast?
They get the better gigs on TV and print media
