Perhaps you should consider the location of your own head because it's most certainly not out in the daylight where the truth is illuminated.

But, I understand the rightists that cheer when Trump labels anything without a named source as Fake News! when he speaks yet claim it's "common knowledge" when it's some BS they believe.

It's just another example of the right's most consistent quality: HYPOCRISY

The left have tried and tried to have political radio talk shows but they often fail.

Maybe their audience needs pictures?

No. Trump and his people HATE regulations on business.

Private companies get to decide what their tools and resources are being used for.

I thought you guys were against government meddling in such matters.
You forgot to update that he came out and said that he believes Sandy Hook really happened. See? That happens so often. Censorship of correcting mistakes.

Did he?

After six years of hammering away at his despicable conspiracy theory--now that he's finally being sued by six families for defamation--he's backtracking. Big surprise.

Not quite a well thought out and researched comment.

Conservative talk radio listeners have an average age of 67. Meanwhile, the 65 and over bracket is the Republican party’s strongest demographic. Younger (and typically more liberal) individuals are not as likely to listen to talk radio.

Ownership diversity is perhaps the single most important variable contributing to the structural imbalance based on the data. Quantitative analysis conducted by Free Press of all 10,506 licensed commercial radio stations reveals that stations owned by women, minorities, or local owners are statistically less likely to air conservative hosts or shows.

In contrast, stations controlled by group owners—those with stations in multiple markets or more than three stations in a single market—were statistically more likely to air conservative talk. Furthermore, markets that aired both conservative and progressive programming were statistically less concentrated than the markets that aired only one type of programming and were more likely to be the markets that had female- and minority-owned stations.

It's as simple as that...a dying breed indeed!
