And, given the domination of talk radio by the fringe hard right that represents the political views of only a small segment of America, why is it that the vast majority of talk radio stations across the nation never run even an occasional centrist or progressive show in the midst of their all-right, all-the-time programming day?

REALLY? I didn't know! I guess I'll have to tune into CNN or NPR to get some fair and balanced reproduction of the current issuses.(sarcasm)

It's in the American psyche to give a fair listen to people challenging the party in power.

I'd say yes, if they have valid and logical viewpoints. For instance, I really don't want to hear people extolling the
"values" of Islamic law, and oh, by the way, we are going to kill you if you disagree.

Nor do I want to hear you say you're going to tax my @ss off to pay for your presidential library, abortions, sex changes, condoms, illegal aliens, whatever.

It's time to revitalize democracy and rational political discourse by returning balance to our nation's airwaves, and the profits to be made in this huge unfilled niche may be just the catalyst to bring it about.

Let's start by cutting off funding to NPR. Obviously, well, maybe not to a leftwinger, but bear with me on this, if your
alleged "unfilled niche" wasn't able to get your views from NPR [for "free"], then they'd be clamoring for a
talk-radio provider that they'd want to hear. And the sponsors would follow.

Besides, look at all that "talent" the gub'mint is keeping out of the private sector! Vast resources would be freed to
compete with Rush Limbaugh! As a matter of fact, I hear the Phil Donahoe might just be available for a liberal talk- radio show.

Thanks for the post, Arlington TX.

I continue to be amazed that the likes of this Hartman dude think they're gaining ground and making sense.

They just don't get it! We will never accept a big government, socialized liberal anti-constitution regieme.

Go ahead Hildebeast, run, and make my day!...in'04,'08 or'12. You'll never revisit OUR White House again!

Just like socialism always fails, liberal talk radio always fails.

Televison (pictures) goes straight to your emotions; little thought is needed. Remember when "seeing is believing" was a phrased often used?

Talk Radio goes to the thinking part of the brain. Emotions come after the thought is complete.

In an auditorium, it takes a good speaker about an hour to rile up a crowd not already riled. But if that speaker uses pictures, he can rile up the crowd in minutes.

That's shy Ross Peots graphs raised such a stink.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" has always implied the riling up of emotions.

Liberal talk radio will always fail.
