That is ratings-driven infotainment. People can't take their eyes off
him. Let's face it, Mr. McCain doesn't really ooze charisma.

The subject however is the lack of diverse opinions on the talk radio
and the distorted impression of what is mainstream opinion that
distortion creates.

The problem is, for whatever reason, *Liberal* talk radio can't seem to find a
loyal enough listener base that would encourage advertisers, so therefore they
either fail, or on a limited number of outlets.

It would seem to me that advertisers don't really care what political persuasion
buyers of their product(s) are as long as their money is green.


Perhaps that's because the format is often on weaker stations with
****ty signals, vs. the righties being on flamethrowers. The
Progressive Talk format does better on key demos in a few markets, and
beats sports talk in quite a few more.
