RadioBanter - Question : Why is 'Talk Radio' So Conservative?

Cuhulin,

Question : Why is 'Talk Radio' So Conservative ?
- - - Answer Why Not !

The Logic of 'The Why' in the Question :
Why is 'Talk Radio' So Conservative ?

Lye's in the Medium of AM Radio Itself.

AM Radio is the Most "Listened To" Form of Voice (Talk) Media.

"How Does Right-Wing Media Craft Its Message ?"

Here is My simple minded understanding of the Logic of it all.

A. M. Radio = American Majority Radio :
The Majority of Americans are Traditionalist; who knowingly or
unknowingly reflect those Values and 'Actively Listen To' or
'passively enjoy hearing' the Generally Positive Talk on AM Talk
Radio as Amplifying Their Own Personal Beliefs and Standards.
To-Put-It-Simply : Listening to AM Talk Radio can be a Positive
Affirmation for the Listener - It's Enjoyable and May Be Informative.

ABOUT - FAIR-AND-BALANCED MEDIA :
What Makes "American Talk Radio" Fair and Balance is that
there is another Big Voice Out There as an Alternative to AM
{Conservative} Talk Radio. It is In-Fact National Public Radio
(NPR) and It Works. However - What Most Liberal {Left-Wing}
Politicos (The Politically Aware) will not admit is that National
Public Radio (NPR) offers a large amount of Talk Radio (usually
on FM Radio) that has a decidedly Liberal 'Tone' to the
Presentation by both the Hosts and Guests.
