Geez, what a surprise...especially since America is so solidly left...just ask the MSM...
I’ve always wondered that. If America was so “progressive, liberal”, etc., then why are so many talk show hosts conservative?
They failed in the radio marketplace of ideas.
I don’t know if anybody agrees 100% with Rush, Hannity, etc. , but they take liberal callers and talk about issues in depth.
The few times I heard Air America, they screeched about Bush “WORST — PRESIDENT — EVER” and were spouting bumper sticker slogans like that. I think Air America had a lack of intellectual depth to their programs and hosts. They didn’t discuss the issues in a good way. It was mostly bumper sticker pablum.
