Democrats "are scouring the nation for a liberal answer to Rush Limbaugh

Leave it Democrats to think they are going to find a Central Planning solution to this problem. It probably does not occur to them that every program director in the radio business, from sea to shining sea, has been looking for "the next Rush Limbaugh" for ten years. They don't care if it's a liberal, a conservative, or a Martian. If such a person was out there, they would be syndicated by now, and we would all know about it.

Earth to Democrats: it's called "the market." It works. Try it some time.

The reason that Fox has risen to the top in the cable ratings isn't because it's "conservative," but because networks with a liberal bias do not represent the mainstream of thought and attitude in the nation.

Thats what I believe...do you think the overwhelmingly leftist biased media and entertainment community can stomach pretending they are conservative and balanced in an effort to remain profitable and fulfill their commitment to the shareholders?..It will be fun to watch them contort themselves in the effort...but ultimatley they I think they will fail, and what will remain will be mostly balanced and/or conservative opinion, and maybe one shrill extremist station (ala DU)...a sanctuary for radicals...

No, but they can aspire to be a pack of howling baboons.
