Bull. They air what sells, period. There are plenty of liberal shows by the way but in general the liberal demographic is far more open to TV and internet leading to a smaller audience in radio. Besides, have you ever listened to liberal talk radio? It is utter garbage on a level that puts Rush to shame. Here we have Norman Goldman, Randy Rhodes and another big name that I forget atm but I can tell you that thy are make up the biggest gasbags that I have ever heard on talk radio. I listen to a liberal show most of the time too it is one of the higher quality shown when I am going to and from work on POTUS but the likes of the major talking heads off XM they are nothing more than constant insults, lies and random sound effects. I have herd fewer actual issues than I can count on a single hand. Absolute trash.
That might be different in other markets but I dont know about them. All I can say is that in the Seattle market, the liberal talent is seriously lacking.
Because businesses do not always make sound decisions. As a matter of fact, executives do not necessarily know what is best on the ground and often get caught up in numbers from other targets when they are not portable to their target audience. They were likely thinking that Beck would port over like he had in many other places and bring in a lot of revenue. Apparently, they were dead wrong. It happens and more often than business would like.
Bad decisions do NOT lead directly to bias.
