I tried to listen to talk radio with Mario Cuomo (yes, THAT Mario Cuomo) perhaps 20 years ago. He didn’t last long. Oh, so painfully dull.

As liberal as Dallas is, I’m surprised that there ISN’T an urban talk radio outlet; the only thing that comes close is DISH, featuring the local morning racists from KHKS (106700 kc). And that’s a TV show!

It is an experience.

Sharpton has a daily show.

Lunacy reigns; snarkiness is the tone; everyone a victim.

Sometimes, white people, yes, glacier monkeys, call in.

John does the annoying dentist ads on KEIB, and they aren’t lefty on all issues... But Ken is gay, so that enters into the mix.

Because nobody wants to hear their sh!t.

Not to mention the fact that, as broadcasters, 99% of them suck out loud.

Why? Because all they would do is blame Bush and call people racists.
*************************
Right. A few years ago Alan Colmes was on here (DFW Metro) late at night. Blamed everything on Bush and conservatives. Callers attempting to express an opposing view would be cut off after about 2-3 sentences and he’d go to the next caller.

Geraldo was on here during the mornings, for maybe 3 months. One of the most racist radio show hosts!

I found out this morning that he was replaced by Beck! I only listened for about 20 minutes. He’s completely off his meds!

Medved’s pretty leftist. Maybe “establishment” is a more apt term?

I’m pretty sure Savage is a plant, too.

IIRC Mario Cuomo would terminate the caller just for uttering the word “liberal”.

He was insufferably arrogant & couldn’t tolerate the slightest disagreement. Cuomo didn’t discuss, he lectured.

What `capitalist pig’ wants to sponsor a show dedicated to overthrowing free enterprise? That’s what Cuomo did to New York, when he wasn’t enabling murderers by vetoing the death penalty for twelve straight years.

NPR doesn’t take calls from the audience, do they?

The fantasy world that liberals, leftists, commies, race pimps, muslims, homos, etc. live in is simply not talk worthy, because their ideas are based on untruth and are therefore exposed as lies by talking about them. The more they talk the dumber they sound. Thus they resort to mechanisms that shut down debate (such as PC, lawsuits, riots and cutting heads off). When your house is built of glass you try very hard to stay out of rock throwing fights. Conversely, conservative talkers thrive on ideas and debate.

Liberals are retarded drones unable to listen and even reach conclusions on an individual level.
Every thought and emotion and action is only for peer approval.
Damn the true consequence of their useful idiocy in the world.
They are Borg. (collective mentality)

Because liberals can't understand political concepts without pictures? :)

Because lefty audiences are like babies: they respond only to shiny moving objects, which they see on tv, movie, phone, and tablet screens, not on radio.

Babies and libs lack the attention span for radio.

The problem for the Lefties is that no one listens to them. NPR only exists because of government subsidies. Most people don't care to hear the same drivel that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, LAT, WaPo, SF Chronicle, etc. are selling.

Why? No one listens to them, at least no enough people do. Talk Radio is a business it must have listeners in order to charge advertisers enough to pay expenses, liberal talk radio is a charity, ie PBS.
