Very long feature just finished on "Broadcasting House" on Radio 4 this
morning , about right wing and left wing stations in the US and the up and
coming liberal station.

Played air checks of various broadcasters.

Are these what used to be called shock jocks? They are more shocking than
ours in the UK!

Rush Limbaugh seems to be in a sad state, his catchphrase is "Talent on loan
from God"!

He is in a bad state. He is a drug offender and could face prison
time. He should, given what he has said about drug offenders in the
past. I have to wonder why he needed all those painkillers when he has
such a cushy job in radio.

G Gordon Liddy seems very opinionated.

He always was (so is Rush). Liddy's also a convicted felon; one of the
"Watergate" conspirators.

I quote from the programme "radio is to the right".

The people with money are generally conservative, so that's where they
target the ads.

I wonder if the new station, Air America, will be welcomed to widen the
dialogue. Will advertisers aim to the liberal market?

Probably not.
