You talk about "they". "They" otherwise known as the public don't need
you to dictate what "we" all need. Air America has failed so start your
own liberal talk syndication show if you think you can make a go of it.

Democracy needs an informed electorate to work. If the public square only
allows speakers from a certain viewpoint to have their say, the public
doesn't get the smörgåsbord of ideas it needs.

This idea is enshrined in the First Amendment.


And the leftys are trying to do away with a certian side of the debate.
Since they cannot compete in the free market, they need to legislate it.
They make it sound like there are no liberal viewpoints out there.

It's not an equal playing field in all places. Where the Progressive
stations have a good signal they get decent ratings. If
Limbaugh (Pigman) and his cohorts (Piglets) promote ideas that favor the
corporate class, the fat cats are going to see that they are supported,
more so than people who advocate for the little guy.


So why did they not do well around here? They were on a AM station with
a good signal on the coast with plenty of Democrap liberal thinkers
around. They still failed. Maybe is was because they are not
entertaining and a political point of view is not enough.
