Left-wing talk radio is crashing and burning in the Pacific-Northwest!!!

[Pinocchio]

Doesn't matter. All the lefties are watching Fox.

 

[daveman]

I think the left cares, they seem to be in love with Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck. Every time any of them speak, they go ape shit.

Leftists have to have something to hate.

Oh god good thing the conservatives are NEVER complaining about something they hate!

Well, that depends. Are we using the real definition of "hate", or the one the left uses: "Disagreeing with the left"?

 

[Cowman]

is it a Monopoly if no one wants to listen to Liberal Radio?....Air America did not fare to well out here.....

I'm pointing out that the Liberal Dominated Media claim is a myth. Conservative media outlets dominate all the others by a large margin, and you guys always celebrate that... and yet you continue to cry about the liberal mainstream media.

It is a myth that no one wants to listen to liberal radio. KPOJ AM 620 in Portland was doing quite well, and had a large and loyal base of listeners and advertisers.

In truth, there is no "liberal" or "conservative" media. It is all corporate media. There are now only about a half dozen major media conglomerates that control just about all the media. You think they are going to allow truly independent viewpoints out on the air or in print?

OH FUCKING PLEASE.

I live in Dallas and I listen to some 660, or as they call themselves "The Answer" building all up through the campaign they identified themselves as a conservative voice, and the hosts like Michael Medved, Dennis Prager are all conservatives, constantly push conservative ideas and opinions, always berate and complain about liberals.

Every single thing they do is about conservatism, and during the election it was all about removing obama from power because he's "destroying the country", etc.

And so many AM radio stations around the country are just like that. Pretty much all the AM talk radio stations are like that.

The ONLY medium conservative media dominates is radio. Television, newspapers and movies are overwhelmingly liberal.

Surprisingly, leftist talk radio could be on its way out in out of all cities, Portand, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. It looks like left-wing poltics could be on a very rapid decline. Not good news for lefties, especially considering these two cities.

Talk radio? Who cares.

I'm certain that the following will be way, way over your head....but it is an appropriate response to your post.

1. The Obama administration has a relationship with "Free Press."
"... Free Press, the radical media “reformista” group founded by the prolific Marxist media theorist Robert McChesney."
Free Press, Robert McChesney & the “Struggle” for Media


2. Free Press is the brainchild of Robert McChesney who wrote a column last year advising President Obama: “In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.”
‘ FCC Official Spokeswoman Still Working for ‘Free Press’ « Common American Journal




3. Free Press was founded by Robert McChesney, and on his board sat Marxist Van Jones, former ‘Green Jobs Czar’ for Obama.

4. Insight into Free Press, and the Center for American Progress can be seen in “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio,” co-authored by Mark Lloyd. The following from their policy report: http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/06/pdf/talk_radio.pdf


a. “…more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week, “a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet.”… Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006…conservative talk radio undeniably dominates the format…91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and 9 percent is progressive..."




Those who are more astute than you understand the importance of radio.

Celebration of conservative monopoly on the media.

Celebration for RACIST things like you are on the media. You aint nothing but a racist ass punk boy.

Doesn't surpise me.

The same commercial model that works so well with the right winger types simply does NOT work with the leftie types.

NPR radio probably has a LOT to do with that.

AS do not for profit COMMUNITY radio stations which tend to lean to the left.

Lefties just do not seem to listen to commercial radio talk shows regardless of whether they are leaning left or right.

and yet so many posts here about what the Righty talkers are saying comes from Lefties here.......Ed the Cynic does nothing but Quote Rush.....never a Lefty.....even though he claims....he dont listen....yea i believe that....maybe left wing Radio....is Boring.....outside of Ed Shultz i found it that way....Air America sucked.....

Republicans repeat their propaganda endlessly. It's the only way to get people to believe such idiotic bullshit. You only have to listen to one Rush show to know what he said the previous two weeks and what he will say for the next two weeks.

It's really cute that you think this is market driven.

Yes. The OP must have done an extensive investigation into the ratings books. Couldn't be ANY reason besides a decline of left-wing politics.

Maybe it's because liberals don't need a talking head to tell them what to think, and because liberals are too busy, they have JOBS.

The video caused violent protests in 20 Muslim countries. The one at the US Embassy in Cairo was going on when Benghazi was attacked. So, can you prove the video played no part in the Benghazi attack?

Rep. Chaffetz says he "absolutely" voted to cut funding for embassy security

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) acknowledged that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the majority in 2010.

House Democrats opened Wednesday’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing by attacking Republicans for cuts to embassy security funding — cuts that only happened thanks to overwhelming support from House Democrats, including House Oversight Committee Ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings. In fact, more House Democrats – 149 of them — voted for the cuts than did House Republicans, of which 147 voted for them.​

It is retaliation against left wing politics pure and simple. AM 1090 in Seattle is a very popular radio station. Seattle in general is very anti christian fundamentalist. We think christian fundis are idiots. AM 1090 has tons of ads all day and night long. It certainly isn't a revenue issue.

konradv stuck his nose high up in the air and snidely sneered:



Maybe leftists just don't like being told what to think, while rightists need their daily marching orders.

It has nothing to do with "marching orders", it has everything to do with listening to alternative media outside of the Democrat Party's SuperPacs (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, etc...) spewing their hard, radical leftist rhetoric. You want to talk about marching orders? People with your poltical views exemplify this to perfection. Look no further than these people here with your political beliefs. These people are so dumb, that they can not even complete a sentence without the lead sheep bleating through a megaphone, intructing them how to speak and think:


[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QZlp3eGMNI]Occupy Atlanta Silences Civil Rights Hero John Lewis! - YouTube[/ame]


These are imbeciles with your poltical beliefs, so don't even tell me, that people with my political beliefs (libertarian-conservative), or those with consevative beliefs need to take "marching orders", it is real clear from this above video who really needs to take "marching orders"

We see it on the board as the same things get said over and over again in the same way. Someone new comes to the board and they spout off some drivel, like it's a revelation we've never heard before, when in actuality we've heard it hundreds of times.

Pot, mee kettle. We have read one post from your sides political views, we have seen them all. The same class warfare, the same blame George W. Bush for everything from killing Able to Hurricane Sandy, class warfare, the evil 1%, and anyone who disagrees with you is a racist homophobe who hates women. It is most entertaining to see people with your political views whom deem themselves as thinking for themselves, enlightened and so smart be even more guilty of the same accusations you made in this reply. Mad props to you.... Oh, and btw, just ask Joe Lieberman and Artur Davis what happens when they don't follow the Democrat Party's radical leftist "marching orders", Lieberman is now an Independent, Davis went to the Republican Party.

Always remember, it is your side that wants big government to hold your hand from cradle to grave and walk you through every step of life because people with your political views are flat out just too dumb to survive on their own. It is people with libertarian and consevative beliefs who want minimal governenment because we know we can survive on our own without government, which means...yes, we do think for ourselves. You should seriously rethink your reply you posted, because it was the biggest joke for a reply I have ever seen.

Petraeus Says U.S. Tried to Avoid Tipping Off Terrorists After Libya Attack

From your Daily Caller article:

“Since gaining the majority in 2011, House Republicans have voted to reduce embassy security funding by approximately half a billion dollars below the amounts requested by the Obama Administration,” the memo reads. “Although the Senate has been able to restore a small portion of these funds, the final appropriations enacted by Congress in the previous two Fiscal Years have been far below the amounts requested by the Administration for embassy security, and far below the levels enacted in Fiscal Year 2010, the last year Democrats controlled the House.”

What Cummings and the Democratic Oversight Committee staff are referring to is the final fiscal year 2012 omnibus appropriations package that included $2.075 billion for the programs – $567.5 million less than the Obama administration’s request.

-------------------------------------
Republicans are the majority. Republicans authored the omnibus appropriations package. Republicans cut funding for embassy security. The omnibus appropriations package is a budget, not a stand alone bill that addresses a single topic i.e. funding for embassy security.

You FAIL...
