Winner.

Yeah, that’s right. Lookin’ at you , Murdoch.

Now right-wing talk radio has condensed the stupidity of the GOP and concentrated it among buffoons who have destroyed any chance for the GOP to reclaim majority status, because the party leaders have to genuflect to a bunch of loons who are laughingstocks for 80% of the country.

20% of the country is a great radio audience, but it doesn’t help much in elections.

In my part of the country you need an excellent radio to detect Rush way down at the end of the dial and broadcasting on 100 watts. The progressive station, Green960, comes in so good I sometimes hear it when the radio isn’t even on.

I was about to say smuggling drugs to and from the Carribean, but he isn’t really good at that, either.

As for failing liberal talk radio, besides political affiliation, what’s the main difference between liberal and conservative talk radio? The answer is how loud, vile and polarizing the host is. People don’t listen to Limbaugh to be informed, they listen to him to be entertained. Here’s a tag line for the promotion for a successful liberal talk radio show:

“Listen to the Zython Hour, or James Dobson will rape your dog!”

Talk radio isn’t really worth selling the soul of the progressive movement for. There are better ways to get our message out. On the other hand, making money hand over fist for incoherently yelling at people sounds pretty sweet…

Care to disclose what state you live in? The reason I ask is because your supposition isn’t true. Philadelphia is a DFH paradise, yet they haven’t even given liberals a shot on radio here(Yet we get BillO the clown, Rushbo and Sean Insanity). And no, stations that go to low power at night don’t count. Hell, I don’t get why the ESPN station here is so low power at night that you can’t get it in the suburbs.

Jay Tea, you are the classic evidence that right wing talking points are impervious to the facts.

Do you know how much money the Moonie Times loses every year?

JT: Stop being so evasive!

So, Oliver, care to go on the record? Will you commit to opposing the Fairness Doctrine should it be brought up for serious consideration?
So the funny thing about this is that I’ve said multiple times before that I’m against the Fairness Doctrine. In fact, I said so in response… to Jay Tea! SEVEN MONTHS AGO.

I don’t think it was a good idea to get rid of the Fairness Doctrine, but I’m personally not in favor of it being reinstated.

Clearly I’m sending out secret signals. Add tinfoil to block.

Indeed. But what is El Rushbo qualified to do?

I thought you checked on this one Jay Tea, even though you never showed any evidence. Oh, I get it. You were lying to make a point. You are a liar.

Too bad that liberal talk show hosts can’t win audiences and ratings.

And I can believe Oliver is against the Fairness Doctrine — if Limbaugh gets pulled off the air, he might lose his job and have to find real work.

So, Oliver, care to go on the record? Will you commit to opposing the Fairness Doctrine should it be brought up for serious consideration?

The fact that Rush and Hannity and Savage and the other passengers in the clown car called talk radio regularly spread disinformation without opposition or correction isn’t our problem.

Our problem is that our “liberal” media recognizes Ann Coulter as a responsible voice in our national discourse. And Michelle Malkin. And Jim Bunning and Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn. Our media would rather tell us that “there is disagreement” about global climate change, that “there is some pork” in the stimulus bill, that “there is disagreement” about when Social Security will “go bankrupt.”

The Fairness Doctrine won’t fix that.

Chill!
