"---- liberals dominate where they cannot be intellectually challenged. It is effortless for a college professor to spout leftist rhetoric to naive young people who just graduated from high school. Let them have to defend their radical views in public and they wilt."

It was an interesting article.( I dont know if I agree with all of his assertions but it overall is a good analysis.) So I decided to post it,especially after hearing the liberals "whine" about Rush!(again) I look forward to the subsequent column.

Good article, thanks.

liberals just cannot get their message across to Americans.

Except on CNN, NBC,CBS, MSNBC, the entire TV industry, most major newspapers, the movie industry, the school system, etc. etc. etc. How sad for them that their socialist message isn't getting across to America!

[Jhoffa_]

He's right, they do hate Talk Radio.. It's their universal scapegoat for everything under the sun if you hear them tell it.

If they ever return to power, no matter how briefly.. watch for them to try to muzzle or nullify talk radio with the "fairness" doctrine or something similar.

It's not enough for them to own 99% of the media, they are hungry for what's left and they will surely stifle the likes of Rush before they admit their policies & politics are actually the problem.

[Rockyrich]

One of the things we hear from Rush and understand ourselves is:
THEY (THE LIBERALS/SOCIALISTS) ARE GETTING THEIR MESSAGE OUT - It's just that more of America isn't buying the socialist scare tactics and anti-American rhetoric that they've sold in the past. It ain't washing any more and they're scared and lost. Thank God!

Nothing speaks louder than the truth.

Conservatives monopolizing talk radio is a god-send. Because the liberals control the print and television media, they control a large portion of America's world view. Conservatives, therefore, seek out a different point of view. And, liberals will not be able to take over talk radio, because their viewpoint is filled with bitterness and animosity... it isn't entertaining. To be effective in talk radio, you have to have interesting things to say, to keep people's attention. Talk radio listeners have to LISTEN, not just hear what is said. The same cannot be said for television.

[Plutarch]

...liberals dominate where they cannot be intellectually challenged.

This is quite evident on KPFA, a Leftist radio station from Berkeley. They never take callers, and their dialogue consists of a lefist interviewee and a leftist interviewer. As a result, they do not even register in Arbitron ratings, even in the Left stronghold of the Bay Area.

[Ken H]

The problem the liberals are having is the fact that their message is being heard.

[Rocky]

Great column. Spot on. It's amazing how conservatives have carried the day in so many elections in recent years, considering how dominant liberals are in the media. The truth does manage to work its way out, no matter how tight the controls are. Even in totalitarian societies, people find ways to spread the truth, although they may be powerless to act on it.

The liberals have tried over and over again to get a successful liberal talk show on the radio. They flop every time.

[GOPJ]

Thanks. Great post.

[Ken H]

A good case can be made that conservatives dominate the internet as well.

And why shouldn't they?

The only thing liberals have to offer the internet is an online version of liberalism.

[Sans-Culotte]

I always enjouy Dennis Prager's columns, and this one was no exception.

An example of the more subtle, "hidden" network TV bias: my wife was watching the CBS comedy Becker, and Becker (ultra-leftie Ted Danson) was treating a dumb teenager who feared he had a sexually transmitted dissease. The kid never used condoms (this was their "AIDS awareness: episode, BTW), and thought that "if he did get AIDS, they could cure it with one of those cocktails, right". Becker later said only a Republican could've been dumber than that kid, which got a big laugh from the audience/laugh track.

Liberal ideas constantly are slipped into sitcom scripts, and with the exception of Drew Carey (is he even on anymore?), damned few conservative jokes ever get "slipped into" TV scripts.

[T Lady]

The majority of Mr. Prager's assertions are actually correct, notably the assertion of Liberal dominance on college and univerisity campuses. While a (part-time Active Duty Navy) student at Chapman University, I encountered the bias head on. I wrote a term paper on the fallicy of Hate Crimes legislation, and received a B minus for my effort, when I should have gotten a A. This is only because the proffessor did not agree with my viewpoint, which of course was (and still is) the conservative view. This is known to be a common occurance; many youngsters who hail from Republican/conservative households are often browbeaten this way. Talk about intolerance!

Perhaps with the exception of a few reruns on PAX, television is indeed a Liberal fantasy land, where the likes of Kenneth Starr (on an old Law & Order episode) are made out to be sexual busibodies, and Dr. Laura (an intolerant Radio Talk Show host lambasted by the 'President'-Josiah Bartlett) trashed on The West Wing. Michael Medved aired clips from that episode on his show. Fair and balanced...oh yeah.

I could go on, but I'll just cut right to the chase: Leftist Liberals want nothing more than TOTAL dominance, controlling everything they get their grubby mitts on.

...And of course, unlike Talk Radio, there are no 'Feedback' or 'E-Mail' Mr. Rather, Mr. Brokaw or Mr. Jennings buttons on any of the major network websites-at least none that I've seen.

Great article. Thanks!

I dont know if I agree with all of his assertions

Oh?

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

The message, not a lack of messengers, is the contemporary liberal problem.

That's exactly right. Liberls bring a message of "do what we tell you, because you are incompetent and we know what is best for you... or else." It's a message of belittling and hate disguised as compassion. Their compassion for people is the same as it is for dogs (believe that neither can think for themselves).

[DakotaGator]

Apparently, the Democratic Party is gravely concerned that its liberal message is not being heard.

When liberals complain about something they are lying. After all, their lips are moving. They never tell the truth! But their lies are informative.

What liberal lies tell us is always one of two things; the exact opposite of their statement, or, projection of what they would do in the same situation.

This is one of the "opposite" cases. They are not worried about the liberal message being heard. They are scared spitless that the Conservative message is being heard!

[lewislynn]

People had no idea what they were getting into but obviously liked what they heard after they were forced to turn to talk radio because music radio is so sh!tty.

[goodnesswins]

Want a liberal to STOP talking....tell them you listen to Rush. It's ended "friendships" in my life. Or shall I say, it's clarified who were and were not my friends.

[doug from upland]

Bravo, Dennis. I haven't called Dennis in probably a year. During the Clinton years he dubbed me his most frequent caller. Dennis is absolutely brilliant when he debates those on the left.
