..... Your absolutely on to something here, sir. but I would take it one step further. The thrust of this dolt’s article is akin to Mike Tyson complaining about the waistline height of his opponent’s boxing shorts after being KO’ed by a midget.
It’s like Sauron complaining that Frodo snuck into Mordor via the back entrance without asking his permission.
It’s just a giant bunch of sour grapes.
Braude, Eagan, Finneran, and the NPR empire, which alone has at least a half-dozen FM stations carrying its distinctly liberal political programming in MA, provide plenty of airtime for liberal political programming. Their real problem, which they are petulantly unwilling to confront, is that they draw comparatively few listeners.
Indeed NPR is quite popular in Boston; WBUR has focused on news/talk for years even if it’s pretty unlistenable to us. Now WGBH has expanded their news/talk and launched shows with the likes of Emily Rooney, daughter of Andy, trying to get ratings/donations. No conservative talk there.
Acc to Howie Carr what’s the longest cab ride? One when the driver has NPR on the radio. “You might as well just open the door and flee, leaving whatever you have behind...”
So when libs complain about lack of balance, point out NPR and the fact that more liberal callers/hosts (Eagan and Braude) can be found on conserv talk radio than conservatives on libtalk or NPR
