I have the solution to revive liberal talk radio!  

Then they can just go at each others throats like real men.....

I feel that I must come to Jon Stewart's defense here! The one time in particular I recall him telling the right to "Go F-- themselves" was in response to someone on Fox News, while discussing Sarah Palin, saying liberals don't have five kids and one of them with Downs Syndrome - "They wouldn't allow THAT to happen!" To me that was an unfair, disgusting generalization and I applauded as I laughed when he said those words!

They like to hit below the belt
I believe that this is on both sides.
I agree with most of what you said, and this is why they want the fairness doctrine. But if anybody can save it, I bet Clinton could! Liberals love the guy. give him a mike!

See? there is one vote. All kidding aside, I think it would be a great idea.

Ok, you have a point, maybe if he had a good stand in..?

haha well those are very good points. I appreciate you taking time to think it through.
A little off subject, Finally, where's the audience? Liberals are not conditioned to listen to radio and I'm not sure that even Bill Clinton can change that. This is a good point, how do you feel about the fairness doctrine?

Okay, first off I think the Fairness Doctrine is a crock. Just to get that out of the way.

The reason I don't listen to talk radio has nothing to do with the fact that my viewpoint isn't represented. It has everthing to do with the fact that the only time I listen to the radio at all is in the car and music calms me. I'm not a great driver and it is better for everybody on the road if I don't get worked up over politics. Rush or Glen would definitely make me a road hazzard and I'm not so sure Bill wouldn't also be a distraction. So "Give me the beat boys and sooth my soul" while I drive.

I never really thought that liberals probably didn't listen to talk radio because their viewpoint wasn't represented. I just thought it was because they were mostly baby boomers and they associated radios with their brand of music and didn't want that messed with. I could be very wrong about that since baby boomers are also cosnervative who listen to Rush & Glen. Still, I definitely think that if a whole big bunch of us liberal baby boomers suddenly started listening to and calling into talk radio, our side would be pretty well represented, pretty fast. I personally still would not listen to the radio.

The Fairness Doctrine to my mind is the same exact thing as restricting freedom of the press. Any media restriction is the same and that silencing of a viewpoint in any form is an abomination. If Rush and the boys are the price we pay for a free press, that's fine. Hell, if a few movie stars getting slammed by National Enquirer is the price, that's okay too. It's better than waking up like the people in Argentina did in the 1980's and learning that all the reporters and editors were among "the disappeared". I'd worry if people I can't stand were not free to jam up the airways even if I never listened to them when they were there.

I understand your stance on radio and I think every body has their opinion. Clearly more conservatives listen to the radio and more liberals watch tv. I agree with your opinion on the fairness doctrine.

Thats true! I would probably listen once...

But because you're so young, I bet you don't flip the channel to "oldies, but goodies" .

If you can believe, I have a christian station and then a heavy metal station programmed. The rest is talk radio!

plenty of liberals have had talk radio shows. Bottom line, liberals listen to music on the radio. Conservatives, in more cases, like to hear the news or talk.
