US Media Equality: Limbaugh Gets Flamethrowers; Pacifica Doesn't

So, let's see if I've got this straight. You don't read books, see
movies, read newspapers or magazines, watch TV, attend college, use
the internet, because they're not free, and it takes efforts.
Doesn't that make you a complete boob?
Of all the media listed above, the only one that penetrates 100% is AM
radio (and then only at night some places). Every town has a
flamethrower of record, some cities have 2 or three. If they all tilt
right how is that fair to people that tilt left?
How about FM radio? That's almost all leftist crap, and there's a lot
more FM stations than AM stations.
We are talking about the information potential voters get prior to an
election. If you turn on a car radio in Texas (or most states) chances
are you are not going to hear anything but right wing propaganda (AM or
FM).
I'm going to overlook the rudeness, because of the company you keep.
I pay to watch TV because I live in the mountains. I can barely afford
it. I have a DSL connection that I will probably drop in a couple months
when my year is up.
No FM to speak of here. KROQ and KPCC. Haven't heard any political
advocacy on either. We have an AM station that is totally right wing.
Same goes for our local cable channel.
This is in spite of this city voting for Obama 53% to 47%. To listen to
the radio you'd think he was Son of Moamar.
