Enlighten me.

I'll try, but I doubt it is possible. Rush is entertainment, nothing more. Anyone who listens to him for more than a few seconds understands his bias, he doesn't try to hide it. Media Matters pretends to be unbiased, objective reporting. Big difference.

I think the statistics are something like 10 to 1 amount of hours advantage that right wing talk radio has over any liberal equivalent.

Do you include NPR in the left side of that comparison? If there were a profit to be made in left wing talk radio, there would be more of it. Nobody forces any radio station to carry Rush, they do it because sponsors pay for adds. They have apparently concluded there isn't much of a market for left wing talk radio. But then we don't expect you to understand free markets, you want the govt to legislate some fair distribution of talk shows.
