Liberal radio station doing poorly.

While most of my liberal friends listen to music rather than "news" stations, I thought that there would be room for one liberal radio station (is NPR considered liberal?)

There are a lot of liberals on this board. I was wondering if they ever listened to this station. I would listen in every now and then and did not find it too entertaining. More of the same crap - just from the other side.

Doing Poorly?

Thats putting it nicely. They are filing for protection from creditors by utilizing the bankruptcy system.

How convienient that they want the government to bail them out.

Come on, F.D. They're using the system, like any business would.

Keep D&D Civil.

Seriously you've got to be more sophisticated than that, you sound like a grade schooler, unless you are advocating a system without bankruptcy codes and where companies just go broke and creditors are left holding the bag.

We really need to stop this poisonous attacks between liberals and conservatives or we're going to hear a loud flushing sound drown out the national anthem.

i tihnk we could use a few other parties to chose from. i'm not very happy with thier one of the 2 we have.

I listened to Air America every now and then and I can understand why they went out of business because they really weren't that good. Al Franken was OK but he couldn't carry the all the programming and he's too much of a comedian to be suited for doing political radio. While people like Rush are funny they play their mock indignation straight whereas Al Franken's comedic instincts got in the way of his indignation. As far as liberal radio goes Democracy Now is really the only nationally syndicated show where the host captures the right sense of indignation without sounding like she thinks its a joke, unlike Franken.

Eh, if it was good enough for Jefferson and Hamilton, it's good enough for us.

the air america station up here in dallas went off the air last week.... replaced by a catholic music station

i wasn't a huge fan of the station, but i'd listen to it a few hrs a week usually to see what franken and ed schultz were talkin about.... i disagree with most of what they say, but i find both more entertaining than rush and sean hannity.

My unproven theory: more Liberals live in big cities, where most people rely on public transportations. I saw people playing games on cell phones, listening to musics on ipods or other MP3 players on the subway or bus, but radio?

pgabriel · 10-13-2006, 03:14 PM

liberals are progressive and therefore don't listen to radios anymore

I listen to it as background noise at work but the only one I pay attention to is Al Franken. Randy Rhodes is a little grating with her "I so *****in told you so" attitude.

and I'm a liberal.

Can liberals really support a radio station, or do they even need to, when they have this D&D forum?

Surely 90% come here to vent and discuss.

rockbox · 10-13-2006, 03:46 PM

Liberals can think for themselves so they don't need a radio jockey to tell them how to think or what to believe.

as opposed to conservatives who listen to the radio and then do what the voice coming out of the radio tells them to?

i'd like to point out that over 65% vote straight party every single election, seems like the sheepish behavior is prevalent on both sides.

So you let Press Secretary Tony Snow think for you instead of someone on the radio?

You realize the irony here? Right?
