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.
probably for the same reason there are no right wing comedians.
I remember the first attempt was Tom Likus- “Likus the liberal”
He got on there with all kind of bluster how he was going to take on Rush Limbaugh and how liberal radio would soon be the dominant radio and blah blah blah
I think he was gone in 3 months
Every caller was like ‘HOW CAN YOU BE THIS STUPID????”
There are lefties on talk radio. There is a spanish station about a half turn from a talk radio statio I listen to in Houston (1070). Most of the programming is in espanol.
Sometimes the DJ will flip between English and Spanis mid-sentence (and no, he’s not translating what he just said).
Anyhow, in the afternoon, there is a liberal shill in English (with a slight spanish accent) doing the talk radio schtick.
The DNC used to have a page on their website to get the daily talking points (know what the issues are and what positions to echo) as well as tricks to use to get by call screeners on conservative talk radio (sweet talk the host, say you are a lifelong Republican, etc).
I have no doubt that the Democrats are still sending out such talking points daily.
Why listen to a day’s talk radio if they are all going to say the same things (in the exact same phrasing)?
The conservative shows are not all the same (and not all of the shows are even conservative, some are late in life libertarians from people who used to support the Democrats but can’t stand with ‘em anymore).
Even the conservatives on FR are not all in agreement on policies, social issues, foreign policy, history, or what the best future could be.
