Why liberals are not in talk radio

Liberals don't do well in AM talk radio. It must be pointed out that they are doing just fine, thank you, in FM talk radio o/w known as NPR o/w known as CommieRadio.

Good article. I listen to 1420 AM in Pittsburgh PA. They have great conservative programs plus an occasional church service on Sundays (gasp!)

This article is on the mark... Despite all the clamoring by the lefties railing against Rush and other conservative talk radio hosts, and their calling for someone to respond, the liberals never have found anyone with any staying power. In NYC, former governor Mario Cuomo used to have a one-hour show per week on WABC (home to Rush and Sean Hanity) -- he either couldn't take it or it wasn't getting the ratings to survive. GONE! If you ever listened to his drivel you would see the inanity of liberal ideas -- callers would cut him to shreds and he didn't have a response. Only on TV where viewers aren't invited to participate can these liberal Dumbos get away with it.

Another Bootz gem.

I remember when Neal used to be with WGST in Atlanta and they tried to have a guy named Tom Haouk, a Liberal with a capital L, in a timeslot adjacent to Neal. Neal chewed this guy up and spit him out on a daily basis. Haouk would take the typical Liberal ploy of insulting anyone who disagreed with him, rather than debate the facts.

Any bets on how much longer super Liberal Phil Donawho lasts?

This is a good article repeating what I have said for years. In order to have a talk radio show you have to be able to respond to listeners immediatley. If you are an arrogant liberal, when someone calls up and points out the flaws in your arguments over and over again, you begin to lose all credibility. With no credibility, you then lose listeners, then your ratings, then advertisers, and finally your show. Them its time to become a college professor where you can lord over ignorant 19 year olds and punish all who dare challenge your jack-booted enforced liberal orthodoxy.

NPR isnt talk radio. Its the nightly news without pictures.

I don't think much longer. hehe

NPR = NATIONAL PEOPLE'S RADIO!

[Desdemona]

Liberals don't do well in the call-in show format because they can't and don't think on their feet. They need a "Talking Points" sheet which tells them what to say. And they say it ad nauseum, whether the point answers the question or not...and that turns off listeners.

I have heard these liberal professors will withhold a passing grade on folks who are conservative. Marking them to fail. If thats not a ingredient of communism, I dont know what is.

. . . and journalism is distinguishable from liberal opinion only if you swallow the marketing swill which implies that you have to believe that journalism is "all the truth that's fit to print".

Editorial pages are there simply to insinuate that the rest of the paper is not socialist drivel.

[1Old Pro]

Simple: It's difficult to use "feelings" and "emotions" to argue a point or explain a policy. Once they have to use facts to explain liberalism they are all washed up.

It's much easier to express liberalism while feeling a bit oozy from too many white wines.

We have a talk show host here in Raleigh NC on 680 AM, WPTF who is a liberal. Being that WPTF is the station that carrys Rush, Boortz, and local conservative Jerry Agar I think they threw this guy on to give the appearance of 'diversity'.

His name is Bob Lankford (i think thats his last name). Plus he is only on 1 day a week for 3 hours. Sunday afternoon from 3 to 6 PM. He is horrible. But not because he is a liberal, but because he lacks even the most basic skills that a radio talk show host should have. Plus his is way off on so many things that it isnt even funny.

He did a show on Augusta National not allowing women. His argument and reason that he believes that Augusta should allow women is because "it makes the south look bad." He kept saying "this doesn't reflect well on the south" or others are thinking "There go those southerners again, living in the last century." And that was tied in with the whole liberal "its not fair" touch-feely emotional argument.

The strange thing is that ALL of WPTF's on air staff has their contact information and email address posted on the stations website. All except Mr. Lankford that is. Wonder why his contact info is available to station listeners? Probably because he couldnt handle the criticism that would come his way.

Because nobody gives Hillary Rodham Clinton's left testicle for their opinions?

I swear this is true. I had to write a paper for one of my economics classes. No surprise there. Well, I handed it in on time, met the minimum requirements and didnt exceed the maximum size limits. It was a pretty good paper, nothing amazing, but clearly above average work.

Well, when the papers were returned mine didnt have a grade on it. Instead the teacher had written the following on the cover page...

"Too conservative, rewrite"

I handed it back to him and told him I would not rewrite it. I was given a C.
