I believe there are two main reasons why leftist radio will never be successful.

1. Nobody wants to hear doom and gloom for 3 or 4 hours a day. Not even a liberal. Air America was a typical example. Al Franken is hilarious and can be very entertaining but he's invidious to the point that his point gets missed.

'The View' appears to be doing good, especially after they got rid of Rosey. Whoopi is better but not by much. There's a disturbing aura of vindictiveness or retaliation over everybody who is a regular or is appearing as a guest. Barbara Walters doesn't appear to be as choleric or spiteful as the others but she definitely won't speak up when somebody is conspicuously wrong. Does anybody remember the event a couple of months ago?

2. Liberals will not support the sponsors. For some unreasonable reason somebody else is supposed to pay the bill. The free enterprise system is a bane to the left. NPR is a prime example. If it weren't for the government NPR would die in a heart beat. Liberals will send money to specific candidates or causes but that's it.





I'm a moderate. I always look at both sides then make a reasonable decision.
