Liberal-leaning radio network planned

[Terminal23]

Come on Leftist,bring your best shot. I'm afraid you underestimate the intelligence of Americans. Your appeal is strictly towards the brain dead.

They already have the taxpayer supported NPR. I happened to listen the other night when I couldnt' get any good talk radio on the AM dial. (of course I can always pick up NPR no matter where I am and usually on couple or three stations at once) sigh! Oh man was I disgusted at the leftest machine at work spewing their filth. The way the bend and twist everything you almost agree with them then you gotta shake the cobwebs out of your head and wake up from the trance and turn it offfff or start yelling at the radio.

It won't last on it's own merit. People won't pay to advertise on this ***stuff. Unless the demo-s want to keep donating every year to keep it going it won't last a year.

Hey I thought there weren't any "rich" democrats. Just rich republicans.

Ditto on the brain dead.

There are more rich Democrats lining the pockets of their favorite politicians than Republicans.

But you'll never get them to admit that!

talk radio sucks since art bell went off the air.

As for the filth, blame clear channel. Producing such fine trash as dr laura, it's time to rattle their cage, and kill the company.

Clear Channel World Wide: "Poisoning people since october 20th 1998 after a big buy out and counting"

Clear Channel World Wide "Using September 11th To Get Lots Of Profits"

Actually, I like Dr. Laura. She tells it like it is and gives straight-forward common sense resolution to problems. I don't listen to her much because I hate listening to all the whiners that call her. They are begging to get it with "both barrels" as someone else put it earlier, when they call. I mean, what do they expect!


I guess this is the left's idea of trying to counter the fact that talk radio is completely dominated by conservative talk shows. If they produce the show, it will surely go away shortly. NPR is only around because it is not strictly a liberal medium. While it is heavily leaning to the left, it does have some non-political shows. I don't think there is a market for any talk radio that supports the left's ideas. Oh wait, there are college and high school professors to listen to it. But can the teaching profession (90% left leaning) uphold the show on its own?

Agreed!

Come on Leftist,bring your best shot

Liberals already control the majority of the popular mass media outlets outside of the ultra conservative coveted strongholds of Fox News and Rush. Am I missing something here? Maybe it's those dead brain cells I have floating around in my head.... ?!

Cheap channel actually syndicates the show through premiere radio networks!!! BOO! YOU SUCK YOU DIRTY LITTLE #!#!@ sorry Had to get that off my chest. I want real radio back should build up some cash and run my own stations. Hell, I'd love to run a underground music station. Lots of bands are not getting any promotion, since cheap channel, AOL Time Wacker, Sueanyone (Sony), run the music charts.

I listen to NPR on the weekends, I like "Car Talk" and Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, among many other shows. (I just said that as an excuse, but it's true. ) Anyway:

So yeah, they do these reports where there's guys interviewing the people who are being talked about, and they're pretty long, but pretty interesting.

Shoot, the other day we listened to chief U.N. weapons inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei when they were recommending the 6-month deal at the U.N., FOLLOWED BY (I think) The entire speech by Gen. Colin Powell!

Leftist junk? I don't think so...but maybe I'm just brainwashed by all of the information they put up?

Jeez, I listen to KFI, it's just a couple of quips and quotes, and boom, there's yer "News", fella, followed by WAY more information on the Raiders and Angels and what else.

Like I say, I dunno, but these supposedly "Left-Wing" NPR stations sure do seem to put a lot of content (and quotes!) up!

Ultra conservative FoxNews? Not even close. Rush, yes, but not FoxNews. They put both sides on always. While some of their commentators are conservative (O'Reilly, Hannity) they always show both sides (Colmes and ironically O'Reilly) and let the people decide. They do a better job of reporting than anyone.

The opposite is true of MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and most of all CNN. They let leftist talk creep in to their daily reporting, not just their commentators' programs. The reason they hold it is because they crept into power very stealthily. Only in the past few years has their extreme leftist ideas been so prevalent and exposed. If Dan Rather and Peter Jennings had come straight out with their rhetoric from the beginning, they would have been out of a job. Instead they brought it on nice and slow.

Of course, internet news has opened the eyes of many Americans to the extreme bias in network newscasts. Hence the popularity of FoxNews' fair and balanced reporting of both sides of all (or at least most) stories. It is not bias that keeps some people (Hillary, Gore, Clinton, Jesse Hijackson) away from FoxNews shows, but the fear of exposure of the truth.
