Here's the dirty little truth about the democrats who want to bring back the fairness doctrine. Its just as much of a bailout as the billions being given to the banks or the auto unions. There is a reason why there is very little "liberal" talk radio. PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE PRODUCT. If people want to hear what is on,---- they listen, if they don't.... well there are tons of radio stations, listeners can turn the dial to find what they like. If a radio program doesn't generate listeners, it doesn't get advertising, no advertising, no radio program. It's really a simple process. You see, raising the fairness doctrine back from the dead, is just another bailout. The American Public has already made their voice heard. Remember when Air America was launched with great fanfare? It was to be the Liberal Voice of Talk Radio. Guess what happened? NOBODY LISTENED, IT GENERATED POOR RATINGS, MADE NO MONEY AND WENT BANKRUPT. Oh its still around, I believe in its third incarnation, still generating no ratings, still loosing money hand over foot.

Isn’t that why PBS and NPR came along?
“Having so sullied liberalism’s name that they have taken to calling themselves progressives, liberals are now ruining the reputation of reactionaries, which really is unfair.”
I blew coffee out my nose when I read this.
And I just love how the left accuses the right of doing things the left actually IS doing. Guess they don’t like competition...
>>Remember when Air America was launched with great fanfare? It was to be the Liberal Voice of Talk Radio. Guess what happened? NOBODY LISTENED,
In 2004 Jon Sinton of Air America was quoted as saying “In five years, we’ll be on 600 stations”. More like a few dozen.
They did just come back in liberal Boston though, after being off for 2 years. What they did was buy time on a “brokered time” sports station that runs sports talk shows hardly anyone listens to, and the immortal Brother Stair overnight. (He buys time too of course.)
The schedule is now: libtalk, sports, libtalk (as of Jan.),
sports, libtalk (pre-empted by games once in awhile). On a signal that pushes out to the fishies at night. Great success!
well, aren’t those liberal stations covering *all the news*?!? ;’)
