A monopoly is one company with 100% of the market. The top 10 oil companies in the US have only 47%. The top 500 oil companies 75%. Its one of the most unmonopolistic industries we have. Conservative radio hasn't blocked liberal shows - here in Houston, the same station which airs conservatives gave Jim Hightower airtime once. He failed in the marketplace. If conservative radio was boring there wouldn't be a market for it .... Air America shows that bad radio shows fail. So what the F are they doing on the air since very few people want to hear them? Because millions of people do want to hear them. In fact, you want to hear them. Thats why you listen.
