Default Why is 'Talk Radio' So Conservative?

Well, maybe the conservatives are trying to play catchup with their
wildly successful liberal competition on NPR.


If NMPR is so successful, why is it that they need government funding for
100% of their operation? Contrast that to conservative talk radio, which
barely has enough time to fit in all the interested advertisers.


NPR is not 100% funded by payments from the government - the proportion
of government payments is a very small portion of their budget.

NPR is successful in the sense that it has a large audience because it
offers a wide range of programming that it's listeners want to hear.
