Default Rightwingers Claim Their Stranglehold on Talk Radio is Tantamountto Religious Freedom

Want to know what is going on in the world both inside and outside the
local community? Don't be a cheapskate and buy a newspaper. The radio
hosts you mentioned aren't news reporters, they're commentators. So
you won't get the latest breaking news from them. Want unbiased news?
Try (tic) NPR or PBS. If have this need for radio, get satellite
radio. Your choices are endless. You're online, discover all the web
sites available. You are only limited by yourself.

You have so many choices where to get your news, your bitching and
moaning is rather comical.


The issue is the commons and whether one point of view dominates the
public airwaves to the detriment of others. Many people listen to
Limpballs by default, as he is on the only station they can pick up at
work, etc. How much right-wing talk is available in Dallas? How much
progressive?
