You made a blanket statement about talk radio and the media being right wing, and I know that you don't know that for a fact yet you say it anyway. Even in little Seattle, we have at least one liberal talk radio show (KIRO) plus the very liberal, even socialist Post Intelligencer news paper. I don't believe what you wrote about LA. M

KABC 790 in LA used to have Gloria Allred. They still have Leo Terrell, a liberal civil rights attorney and mr. KABC who IMO are liberals. It's simply a market for ideas backed up by facts and liberals don't fare well. KFI 640 used to have Michael Jackson (the Brit) but he is gone. LA's IS (witness their support for Davis and anti-gun regulations) a liberal market so listeners are available......just no talent available I guess. Or else liberal voters only watch TV and listen to music in their cars.

AS, re: Prove it? All right. In supposedly liberal LA, a huge market, not a single liberal radio show. But all day long conservative right-wingers. Easy........NPR Steve

There are no liberal radio talk shows because nobody would listen. Liberalism is a failed ideology. It produces rich brat eletist punks like the idiot protestors running around in the streets. Ah, but let them have their fun. They're only acting out anyhow, thus all the costumes and props. It makes all those pot-bellied middle aged college professors feel like they are back in the 60's again. got to give those college guys credit for endurance. Most who protested in the 60's would be ashamed to admit it today. God Bless America. God Bless our magnificent fighting men and women. God Bless President Bush and God Bless Tony Blair.

I believe the numbers still show that viewership for old-time network news remains well above that of the cable news networks. I believe it was just last fall that Dan Rather and perhaps others, were busy prominently making that point. Right Wing Talk Radio is what it is, and it is not a dominant source for news. I don't think you are correct, but frankly, after a lifetime of KNOWING I had to take the dominant forces in the media with a great grain of salt due to the extreme bias exhibited by the liberals in control(if often outside of their awareness), I HOPE you will be right. But as someone said, the media is more attractive to liberals(god knows why). Dan B
