Since you posted this patently false article without a “Barf Alert”, should it be assumed that you agree with its content?
I like Michael Medvid, but he is such a simpleton ass hat clown sometimes.
Here he provides the requisite sound-bite to be utilized in this leftist screed. And if it isn’t a leftist’s screed, it ought to be.
Folks are angry today, because the government is usurping it’s authority in a manner that has never been seen before in the United States. Medvid attributes the ‘anger’ to a method to attract new listeners. It never dawns on him that this anger could be the result of a government that has never been so out of control.
The lefties and the lunar right can gloss over what is taking place here, mischaracterize it all they like, but it is a grass roots example of folks who simply are not going to take it lying down any longer.
It never ceases to amaze me how people can misread the tea leaves so miserably, when the truth is staring them right in the face.
Medvid, quit playing into the left’s hands. Good grief.
If that’s true, then Air America hosts should be rabid and destroying their studios daily.
Really? a Collapse?
Truth or Propaganda?
RE :”As conservative politics attempts to reach out and rebuild, the incentives for conservative radio hosts point in exactly the opposite direction. The fact of the matter is that the survival of news talk radio “depends on ratings and revenue, not on getting people elected, or even on bring right,” says Harrison”
Missed here :
1) Talk radio get more popular as their side loses power(which is why you want to always question what you hear) , and less popular as their side has power but flounders
2) Talk radio has never seen more listeners because of #1
3) revenues down simply because commercials everywere are down with Obama economy nothing to do with number of listeners which is up.
They are, well, simply lying.
Mak works for David Frum’s New Majority — which should be called the Old Minority.
The Medved mindset is what brought us to this point of ruination, much like the mindset that led to millions of Jews mindlessly shuffling onto the trains to go to their certain slaughter.
Medved is a prime example of people completely unaware of their current position in the flow of history. Dead people walking.
Let’s just think about this a minute...
Is radio ad revenue overall up or down? Has radio advertizing revenue been affected by the global recession?
Might as accurately say that hip-hop music programming is suffering an ad revenue drop.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics....this blogger is so lazy he doesn’t even try to provide actual data.
Methinks someone is suffering from delusions.
LOL - this is frickin’ hilarious!
Left-wing talk radio defines the words niche and hate-filled, yet not a single, solitary mention in this entire article - only the ‘fringe, kooky’ Conservatives get that honor.
Can’t get any more biased than that, can you?
Which shows?
The pretender shows have been failing.
Err Amerika is gone.
Liberal talk has vanished except for the weekly “new face that will take on Rush.” (until next week’s new face..)
The problem is there is no comparison with the lack of quality with the local shows vs the larger shows.
When advertising insults the consumer, when advertisers use hollyweird actors and actresses who have anti-american sentiments, WHY would we support their product?
Advertisers are clueless. Too much NYC not enough United States of America.
Um, haven’t the networks themselves seen a decrease in ad revenue of 70% - 80%?
Shouldn’t the libs be phrasing this as a gain in conservative talk radio ad revenue as their losses are not as great as everyone elses?
I know. Still trying to figure it out myself.
Add revenue for CBS down 40%
The only angriness that I see is from a demented, unravelled frustrated left that is being resisted in its push to marxism.
The depression will wipe out thousands of companies.
