It's a simple law of economics, right? If there's a demand for a certain service or good, that business has a strong shot at thriving. Since the now-defunct Air America shut down for the last time earlier this year, the casual observer must conclude that no one wanted to hear left-wing diatribes over the broadcast airwaves.
But that's not the case according to a panel on HLN's April 5 "The Joy Behar Show." This meeting of the minds, consisting of Behar, GQ's Ana Marie Cox and liberal talk show host Randi Rhodes, accused conservative talker Rush Limbaugh of playing victim in responding to an interview President Barack Obama conducted with CBS News in which the president mentioned Limbaugh and Glenn Beck by name - calling them "troublesome."
But why is this newsworthy, according to Rhodes? Limbaugh has huge audience where people are allegedly forced to listen to him because he is on "every station."

Yeah--it was run by morons, for morons.
An insight into the leftist mind and how it fails to function. I believe Randi Rhodes actually believes the garbage she’s spewing. That’s scary.
That'd be redundant
She got fired from Air America for going after candidate Hillary Clinton (so she says.) She is a complete nutjob, you have to hear her. I remember her comparing american troops to the Nazi SS and telling the enlisted to flee to Canada to avoid committing war crimes. She loves Obama so has backed off the the Nazi talk. She still has a program, although AA is dead.
What bar did the drunk stumble out of this time?
Liberals just don’t get the concept of “FREE Market”.
Soooo these idiots can’t figure out how to walk away or turn off a radio?
He’s on so many because people want to listen to him you dolt (not directed at you Rufus :)! Once again, a leftist that doesn’t understand supply, demand, and success that’s not artificially manufactured by the government.
Ever heard of the Internet?
Every Lib living in mom’s basement syphoning off her wifi has a radio show.
get a clue
Randi Rhodes Alert!
Damn, how stupid. I guess it explains a lot about the liberal mindset.
“He’s popular because he’s on every radio station.”
No, dumbass, he’s on every radio station because he’s popular.
Conversely, “Air America wasn’t popular because it was on so few stations.”
No, dumbass, Air America was on few stations because it wasn’t popular.
I know where the mindset comes from. It’s the “distribution of assets” mindset, the top-down control mindset.
Radio time, like “wealth”, simply “exists” - it isn’t paid for or created by anyone, and it gets “distributed” by some entity that decides what is on and who gets what.
We have two stations in my area that carry Rush: WPHT and WDEL. While I can get them at home, they’re AM stations and I’m finding that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get a clear signal at work or in any of our vehicles. I’ve switched to streaming Rush over ShoutCast on my Palm Pre. I just have to remind myself to ignore the ads, since they’re from a thousand miles away.
So Ms. Fonda can kindly stuff it.
That would be news to my local NPR and Sports Radio stations............
uhh....Rush is on ONE radio station here in Pittsburgh, last time I checked. Can get him out of Wheeling or Youngstown if the wind is right. That leaves 26 other local stations to choose from, last time I checked...
I like Rush just fine but I seldom listen. I guess that means I should fill that time by listening to liberal vomit.
