Please explain why there are only right wing radio programs? (speech, biased)

No question the media is overwhelmingly conservative, and that the American populace is relentlessly pushed in that direction by the media.

And America pushed back in 2006 and 2008 at the polls.

Because back then you could whip ya kids. It was fun for you, blew off steam and the kids knew better to pull that $hit again. But now, thanks to the nutty Lefties kids run things and parents have no control. Lenin would be so proud.

Thanks for the hit list I can forward to the Tea Party. I KIIIIIIIID!

The average hate radio fan is an angry White guy over 60 years old. Not exactly the type of people that flock to Facebook, Twitter, etc...

Progressives tend to be younger and favor new media, such as the internet. They view the radio as a music source and not a whine session.

Yes, it certainly does.

I have my favorites, but if you want to tune into someone brilliant on American History and the Founding Fathers, you should give Thom Hartmann a listen. He's writtten several books on this subject and areas concerning the economy. He's also a very pleasant person that gives everyone with an opposing point of view air time.

Thanks but honestly I'm considering going back to music because I'm sick of hearing how dicked up our country is. I'd rather die happy listening to Zepp. I don't expect anything to change in favor of us anytime soon so screw it. May as well hear some good tunes. That makes me feel better.

Understandable, but if you ever decide to listen to someone with brains, sincerity and a positive outlook, check out Hartmann.

Right wingers get their news and politics from pundits on the radio. Left wingers get their politics from books.
