No. But the fact that my tax dollars are needed to keep it on the air does.

At the lab one day a scientist friend scorned me as he walked away, with - "Well, you watch Jon Stewart and Steven Ko-Bear - They're Liberal!

I said, "They're not Liberal - They're Intelligent!

He froze in his tracks, turned around, and stared in shock.

So, I said, "The two are not necessarily synonymous".

He never spoke to me again.

I think intelligence includes intellectual honesty, which doesn't include dogma, or hidden agenda.

Jon and Steve simply attack mainstream news lies and hypocrisy.

The agenda of the Right Radio Crowd is putrid.

Default Liberal radio is badly done...

It doesn't do well because it is not well done, and during the Bush administration it was angry. There is nothing more off-putting than being angry and boring. I disagree with almost everything I hear Rush Limbaugh say, but he comes up with some pretty entertaining stuff.

>>> Ed Shultz. Is that the AIR America guy from North Dakota or South Dakota? I listened to his show maybe 4, 5 years ago. It was terrible. He was like a liberal clone of Limbaugh. Limbaugh is bad enough but to be pathetic enough to imitate him? No wonder Air America tanked.
LOL, so Obama threw in a softy in place of a real journalist or commentator.

Spoken like a true white person.

No, he's not on Air America (which is doing fine) he's on the Jones Radio network...try to keep up on these things.....and Ed is nothing like Limbaugh ........ proves you've never really listened to him.
