You clearly know a lot about this, Olbermann isn't even on the radio. Rush does not get more listeners than Olbermann gets viewers in that time. haha. Yes I know about air america but as I said, considering they came from having zero space in the market 8 years ago if you look at the space programs like Ed Schultz and many others have now, it's hardly what I would lable a failure. That's a lot of ground gained in the radio market in that timeframe. Pointing out that there were problems when they started from nothing is like mocking a baby for falling when they start to walk.

Really?FOX news came in and was a GIANT right from the start.They were battling YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS of left wing crap.It didnt take them long to completely dominate the ratings.

Ed Shultz gets destroyed in the ratings when up against a concervative.In most markets he is up against Mark Levin,he gets fucking smoked.

Olberman has been on the radio,but I was comparing his viewrship to Rushs listening audiance.Would you not agree that for the most part more people watch tv then listen to talk radio?But,ok,compare his ratings to Orelly.He gets killed EVERY freaking night.

You didn't even read my post did you? What did Fox have backing it from the start? unlimited money flow sure doesn't hurt so it's not relevant. I also don't buy the liberal media conspiracy so that doesn't help the argument in my book. The perspective I posted is valid. Where the left is today on the radio having just started not long ago isn't what I would call a failure. That's all I said. Who beats who was never part of what I said.

Look I was not for TARP during GWB and see that Obama is doing the same thing as GWB did:

"FEAR"
"PANIC"
"WORLD IS COMING TO AN END"

I dont fear poverty. I fear tyranny and slavery.

Of course this money will all be wasted.

This is like spending $4,000 on a bottle of wine on your credit card. Sure you get a good and quick buzxz, but you are stuck with the bill LONG AFTER THE BUZZ WEARS OFF!

Agreed.

the politics of fear work in war and the economy

Liberal talk radio is boring as heck.

The only liberal radio host I like is the black guy from CNN, I cant remember his name it is Earl something or other. He is on with Lou Dobbs all the time.

Thom Hartmann is fun and I know a few righties that like him too. His knowledge of American History is unmatched among radio talkshow hosts. A lot of libertarians seem to like him. He's always pretty nice to guys like Ron Paul.

Really??? You think Fox's money is the reason for their ratings?

Bottom line... money or no money, you gotta give the people what they want. If the people don't like they won't watch and/or listen. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

that wasn't the question/point. He used fox as an example of instant success in a hostile environment. That being used to say why liberal talk shows have no excuse not to succeed right off the bat.

The only NAZI's I see are the ones on the left looking to merge government and big business through nationalization.

Ah yes...someone who gets national socialism. The problem with the Libs is they practice limp wristed nazism...spend and capitulate.

You just described the 8 yrs of Bush. From a budget surplus to trillions in debt and climbing. Seems like "Trickle down" meant trickle to an "oversea account" and F#ck you America.........

I'm on the fence with this but how would the fairness doc violate the first amendment? In what regard? This might help me side one way or the other.

Probably because unlike Repubs, most libs can read and therefore get their info from other media sources as opposed to turning in so they can receive their daily marching orders via the radio.

Absolute garbage. By all measures listeners to talk radio are FAR more informed than other voters.

Most liberals like yourself usually listen to FM as it is. This has been done over and over again.

Did you see the video: "How Obama got elected"

Liberal talk radio fails because people know garbage when they hear it and turn the channel.

Talk radio is a free market enterprise...whatever gets ratings and money should stay on. If the liberals dominated talk radio because of market forces then so be it...I just wouldn't listen (unless they were very moderate).

Funny how the other media and hollywood is dominated by liberals and not cons. But talk radio is?

There's your answer.

Yeah, trash, semi-porn, celebrity worship, American Idol, MTV, - just what the liberals are all about.

Very true. Liberal talk radio is horribly boring and illogical.

The only liberal radio host I like is in NYC. His name is Errol something or other. He is on with Lou Dobbs alot.

Yeah Hollywood is dominated by libs... BUT they're playing characters and don't tend to openly spew their personally held liberal viewpoints. And many of those characters are conservative even if the actors playing them are not. Oh, like, just off the top of my head, Denny Crane in Boston Legal, for example.

Whereas talk radio isn't acting, it's reality.

See the difference? Hope that helps.

Savage has more talent on one hand than all those lib actors combined.

No one impiled they should rival FOX but dont you think they should be good enough to avoid going bankrupt?Air America has had more bailouts the AIG.
