Too many liberals are spending time listening to these fools just to hear the outrageous things they say. Thats the problem. How many of my friends tell me oh I was listening to this guy on WOR radio and he was saying this and that and he's absolutely nuts. If anything people are listening to them for the shock value alone and possibly for the laughs.

Most of don't understand why they listen to someone telling them how to think. I guess part of being a Liberal is the ability to think for yourself.


You guys have it all wrong. You're trying to demean the listeners and callers as a bunch of uneducated lemmings looking for a Pied Piper.

I sense an element of fear in your posts. Fear that this thread may win more advocates of talk radio. Fear that liberal agendas may be exposed if brought into the sunlight.

The average listener of talk radio is intelligent and informed. They are also most likely to get involved in the process to change what is wrong in our society. They hear, and are not afraid to listen to, both sides of an issue. They are the worst enemy of those who want to hide what they are doing.

Talk radio has many interesting guests. Senators and ambassadors to discuss pending legislation and foreign policy. Scientists and doctors to discuss stem cell research and cloning. Points of view from both sides of the spectrum that expose the listener to all sides of an issue. And an opportunity for the common man to ask questions of them, and to voice their own opinions.

In other words, talk radio is essential for democracy today. We the people value this very effective expression and exercise of our First Amendment rights, and nothing you say will change that.

Liberals Want End of 'Right-Wing Radio'


www.newsmax.com
A liberal organization has gone on the attack against what it calls "right-wing talk” radio – while acknowledging that it totally dominates the airwaves today.

The Center for American Progress’ new report, "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio,” questions whether the "companies licensed to broadcast over the public radio airwaves are serving the listening needs of all Americans,” the Center’s Web site states. "Right-wing talk reigns supreme on America’s airwaves.”

According to the report, 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming on stations owned by the top five commercial station owners is conservative, and 9 percent is liberal.

Ain't THAT the truth. As long as the corporates own the airwaves, this is what you're going to get... The airwaves are supposed to be 'public' - hmmm...really??

Liberal Intolerance, The "Fairness Doctrine" And The Ministry Of Truth

There was a time when a "Liberal" was a person who advocated minimal government intrusion in the lives of citizens.

By that definition, I'm a Liberal, along with many of the "Great Thinkers" who defined Classical Liberalism.

These days, however, the word "Liberal" usually means "Marxist Totalitarian", and there is no shortage of examples.

These "Liberals" advocate total government control over the lives of citizens and have no tolerance whatsoever for any opinions which differ from theirs.

Those who are calling for government censorship of the airwaves would seem to more closely fit the latter definition of "Liberal".

Oh the irony.

Looks like somebody is listening to talk radio. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer saying they want a "legislative fix" for talk radio. In other words a muzzle.
