Anybody who wants to hear liberals on the radio can tune in NPR and have no commercials. Any attempt to run a liberal show on a commercial radio station has to compete with that. I don't think they can. So long as the Democrats maintain taxpayer-supported Democratic Party Radio, they will never see success on advertising-supported radio. There just isn't enough audience left over after most of the liberals have gone down to the left end of the dial.

The Democrats probably thought they were pulling a fast one when they started non-commercial liberal radio, but in fact they hosed themselves. Rush Limbaugh was the Universe's revenge for the Democrats sucking all of the liberals out of the audience pool available to commercial radio stations. Once NPR started up, there was nobody left out there for the commercial guys to appeal to except conservatives.

And in fact, validating the article, NPR is exactly what "liberal" radio should sound like...dry, dour, and deluded.

Liberals already have successful talk radio. That is what NPR is. And it is in a format that suits liberals. They don't have to interact with callers who may know what they are talking about. They simply spend the day interviewing other liberals and amd earnestly telling the their listeners what proper intelligent people know to be correct.

Foreign accents are used to convey gravity and intellectual superiority They make statements and construct fictions that they don't have to defend because no one challenges them. They can't do that on a Rush type format because the callers they have to talk to will often know facts which is something that liberals don't deal with very well.
