... Do the folks on Air America not define who is good and who is bad? Are they truly fair and balanced, Chuck? About as much as (or as little as) Limbaugh and his audience of retarded swine. So, Doug, are you trying to refute Chuck's statements about Air America? -- John H No. AA's listeners are better, smarter and always right. Limbaugh's aren't. |

People support Limbaugh by listening to him which draws advertisements, which sells a myriad of products. This results in people being employed to make those products, deliver those products to stores, and where stores sell thoses products. Limbaugh is an economic engine in the USA. People don't care if he is right or worng they just like to listen to him. They also base voting decisions on what he says. That's sloppy, but not surprising. |

I just got the new channel guide from Sirius Satellite Radio and they have been taken off the guide, not sure if they are still on XM. Why "liberal radio" probably won't catch on in the long term: There is a different mindset between liberals and conservatives. (news flash, I know). Conservative radio is super successful because it is a group-think format. "You need to act, think, speak, a certain way to be a true and loyal American, and you certainly want to subscribe to the following attitudes and values:____________________" Stereotypical conservatives will more quickly gravitate toward a format where an authority figure (such as a preacher or a radio show host)defines who is good, who is bad, and which causes and candidates deserve political support. There is nothing particularly "wrong" with that, but it isn't how liberals tend to operate. We liberals have been badly out-organized by the right wing, and that trend is unlikely to reverse. Liberals are not only skeptical of conservatives, we're skeptical of one another more often than not. Sure, we'll turn out 100,000 for an anti-war march, but there's likely to be 50,000 "discussions" going on in the crowd about just *why* we should oppose the war. One can see this trend in politics. The (more conservative) Republicans continue to clean house (in all but the most porgressive states) because they have nearly everybody singing from the same sheet music most of the time. The (more liberal) Democrats are all over the field, rather than working together, because the liberals are often more concerned with being individuals than with forming a group of loyal worker bees willing to take orders from the top. A presumed majority of liberals doesn't want an "approved" liberal philosophy dispensed by a radio network. Based on ratings, many conservatives crave it. Do the folks on Air America not define who is good and who is bad? Are they truly fair and balanced, Chuck? -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." The folks on Air America might well define who is good and bad. I would have no idea. I don't listen to the station. My point was that liberals are less into group values and more into individual values than some other folks might be. The average liberal doesn't want somebody dictating some official liberal line about people or issues, and therefore there isn't much audience for this type of programming. The conservative counterparts, however, are enthisiastically received by a large number of people. Funny, when I read the liberals' posts here, I get the idea y'all are pretty much following the same sheet of music! But you would call yourselves somewhat 'selfishly independent', huh? Are higher taxes and Bush-bashing examples of 'individual values'? Maybe the conservative counterparts just make more sense than their liberal counterparts! -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
