I've added some paragraph breaks to improve readability.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Their sensibility may fairly be said to be “liberal” in the sense that liberal education is liberal—that is, open-minded and urbane, with a preference for empirical inquiry over dogmatic conclusion-mongering—but what little overt political commentary they offer hovers around the moderate middle.

Ahem...

To quote The Onion:

LATEST ISSUE OF THE NEW YORKER UNREAD IN FOUR BOROUGHS

WOR carries four hours daily of Bob Grant and Bill O’Reilly, reliable voices of irritable reaction.

Anytime you hear someone talking about the "voices of reaction", you know you're listening to someone who still hasn't quite come to grips with the idea that Stalin wasn't really the Hero of the Workers.

is roughly the size of El Rushbo’s—somewhere around fifteen million people per week.

So right off the bat he can't get his facts straight. I call a difference of 5 MILLION (25%) a significant difference.

But these NPR programs are news-feature broadcasts; they adhere to the practices of journalistic professionalism, including the aspirational ideal of objectivity. Only a half-brained liberal would POSSIBLY write this drivel. NPR has never in its broadcast LIFE attempted to reach "the ideal of objectivity," much less actually REACH it.

I blew diet coke out of my nose when I read this line. How can anyone be so thick as to believe that NPR is objective?

The New Yorker ^ | 9/4/03 | Hendrik Hertzberg New York City is the home base of Fox News, National Review, and “The Rush Limbaugh Show.” We’re in our tenth straight year under Republican mayors. And we’re the world headquarters of heartless, rapacious, crush-the-workers Finance Capitalism.

I believe the net worth of the owners of The New Yorker is in excess of $ 50 million, made largely through the exploitation of non-union labor. What stinkin' hypocrits...

WLIB, which carries mostly Caribbean pop music, dips an occasional toe into protest politics

This statement, of course, is a (pardon the expression) blatant whitewash. Anybody who has listened to WLIB for more than ten minutes knows that it is a seething hotbed of racism, anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and other assorted leftist hatred and drivel, and full of more hate-mongering than you will hear in ten years of listening to conservative talk radio. And WBAI is a bastion of the loony left, where you can listen for hours without hearing the expression of a single, uncontradictory, un-PC, rational thought.

Of course, that inconvenient truth doesn't fit the author's prejudices, and so he relied (like most lefties do) on the 'big lie' to make his false points.

This guy (assuming he's an American) will never be confused with someone who loves his country.

You are trying with little success to lie your way through an article. Too bad that this forum is comprised mostly of people with some intelligence. Conservative radio shows are popular because that's what working people want to hear. The liberal audience has their boob-tube for all of their "informational" needs. Because of a watered down educational system, liberals can no longer muster the attention span to listen to radio. They must get their fill of liberal lies through 5 second video clips on Peter Jennings' show or that of Sam Donaldson. George Stephanopolous's show is objective, too, right? Your ideas didn't work for the USSR and they would never work here in America. Try Canada.

[Not A Snowbird]

Thanks for the paragraphs, I get enough brain damage from my spreadsheets.

Whatever is "conclusion mongering"? A new game show?
