Liberal "opinions" and perceptions of reality cannot stand up under uncontrolled scrutiny. Any liberal radio talk show must screen their calls. Conservative talk shows welcome liberal callers with their challenges, it makes the show. Another factor is a liberal radio talk show must succeed in a capitalistic manner. Unlike their govt. contolled ventures, when liberal radio fails, it cannot be declared this failure was due to lack of funding. Liberal NPR does not need sponsors, this venture will, it'll never work! What sponsor will allign themselves with the socialist? The sponsors are capitalist, and rightly so, that what has and does make America great. They did not name Neal Boortz! I know, a libertarian, but also a great success. I have not read any replies yet, thought I'd express my thoughts first, sorry if I repeated some of what others have said.

Oh yes it can! It will be loudly "declared" as due to insufficient funding, at least for a while. You see, those right wing extremists are funded by Big Corporate sponsors to keep them on the air. Liberals will say they just can't compete with that. They don't seem to have any notion at all of profitibility and of choice among listeners. They think all they have to do is keep a show on the air and everybody will hear it and be edified. After all, that's how Rush does it. Rich conservatives just keep him on the air and everyone hears him. It's not fair.
