You gotta love the BS here--I LIVE here, ok, and NPR is LOVED by so many...and that gets half a sentence so the writer can push his position.
How much more interesting this piece would have been had he talked about what Coakley said when she DID go on the air (no jobs for Catholics in hospitals), and why she and the other democrats here are so hard to find on the radio.
The writer misses the most obvious issue--the success Brown had with talk radio, compared to the HUGE majority the democrats have in the State House. Why this fear, this boo-hooing over mean ol' talk radio...in a state where dems have overwhelming power?
Too tough to write about. Let's go with the "Republicans are evil and dastardly and poor widdle dems who control papers, TV, the State House are victims" crap.
BTW, Jim and Margery are the most devastatingly dull duo on radio.
When the Left loses they often claim it was because they just didn’t get their message out. This is another version of that. The truth is, as WE know, they lost because they DID get their message out and it was rejected.
The best poll in the world is talk radio. People voluntarily tune in or tune out. Liberal radio always dies, except NPR which we are forced to pay for, and conservative radio usually prospers. Conservative radio is successful simply because it is saying what most of the people think and the MSM is saying the opposite.
This country is conservative.
