Did the writer ever get around to blaming George Bush?
(Sorry...I just couldn’t read the whole thing. These folks are just clueless.)
Libs can get their spin from MSNBC, CNN and Washington. Talk radio is ours.
“Why yes, maybe 38 people instead of only 9.”

Oh, come on now, be fair, I am almost certain that MSNBC has broken into the low triple digit audience numbers at times, maybe 101 to 103 or something like that. I know that’s hard to believe and I can’t really prove it but it is possible.
Who wants to listen to 8 year old spoiled brat kids spout off.
That’s what liberals sound like. Thats what they think like.
That’s what they vote like too.Their world is a pipe dream.
A sewer pipe. Oh wait it’s a Colon. FLUSH it down!
Could it be”Lack Of Listenership”???????????????????
Did they have network and cable TV when Father Coughlin was around?
Of course, liberal radio always fails. The people in the Soviet Union got weary of the endless Socialist lies. The problem for American Leftists is that Capitalist advertisers tire of sponsoring someone who blasts them continuously.
Nobdy wants to listen to a philosophy based on plunder.
The reality is that conservative talkers are serving an aging, shrinking audience, while listeners who want a liberal take on the news can find it on hundreds of National Public Radio stations.
Aha! You admit it! Government radio is leftist!
“...while listeners who want a liberal take on the news can...” can just turn on their TV.
Obviously, given a choice, people tune out propaganda.
The current Mayor is an unabashed liberal, the incoming Mayor is an unabashed Stalinist.
I can just hear the lamentations of the author wondering why Rush Limbaugh is on the air because nobody he knows listens to Rush Limbaugh. Especially during a weeklong NPR fund raiser.
They would have if not for the "evil" Clear Channel keeping many on the air. After Air America failed, CC gave some of them a place figuring they could get passable ratings in select markets and demographics. It's the sink or swim principle but most are sinking, even in heavy liberal markets.
In the 70s and 80s, the left fragmented -- Black, Latin, feminist, gay, environmentalist, etc. Things got pretty heated at the Pacifica stations, for example -- strikes, sitdowns, lockouts, etc. as different factions struggled for control.
But also, they no longer had that solid, square 50s culture to rebel against. Also, it sounds like NPR already caters to liberals, so even if there were an audience for liberal talk, it's already taken by public radio.
“Oh the humanity!!!” - the frantic cry of WLS reporter Herb Morrison as the dirigible Hindenburg exploded & crashed at Lakehurst, NJ in May 1937.
A few years ago somebody photoshopped the image of a manatee onto a still frame of the exploding German airship as it collapsed at a crazy angle, then labeled his creation “Oh, the Huge Manatee!!”
The expression went viral for a while.
I thought that was Les Nessman during the WKRP Turkey Drop.
