Why is Liberal Radio Such a Flop?

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

There's certainly enough Libs in America to support liberal talk radio but it never seems to succeed. I'm not extolling the virtues of Con radio because it nuts but at least it's entertaining.
I'm guessing it is because once Libs hear themselves and each other speak they are embarrassed by their silliness.
Any other logical reasons?

It's very simple. It's the same reason liberal cable news like cnn and MSNBC is a flop. Liberals, the base of the Democratic party, are the willfully uninformed voter. They rather not watch the news and instead watch so-called reality TV. They get their news from Jon Stewart or the Jersey Shore.

With radio they would rather listen to music than talk radio.

Conservatives on the other hand rather stay informed and be mindful of what is going on in the world. Therefore they watch news at home and listen to talk radio in the car!

You've obviously never watched Jon Stewart.

Liberals are idealists, they don't want to hear the facts, they just want to simplify the issues down to right or wrong according to their ideology. Thus, the need to fully understand an issue is irrelevant, they just operate like the ***** brigade and have knee jerk reactions.

And what does the right want to hear? Whatever Darrell Issa and Rush tell them? Yup.

Did you hear Rush LimpBalls trying to defend Donald Sterling? Said it was all that woman's fault. Hilarious. And his lapdog audience just ate it up. You lap out of the same foul bowl?

LOL...I don't listen to el rushbo, I think for myself. You are right, conservative radio can be boorish...and those who listen for talking points are lemmings. But, with that said, there are many who listen to talk radio to learn more about a particular topic. Regretfully, liberals don't need to know facts beyond what they already believe and know.

From what I see among liberals and conservatives...a conservative is more likely to disagree with a fellow conservative than a liberal is to disagree with a fellow liberal. That, IMO, is the result of getting all of the facts and making independent decisions as opposed to blindly following an ideology.

i'd believe you if my local conservative talk radio station didn't broadcast what amounts to 7 different hosts saying 'ditto' to each other 5 days a week and their greatest ditto hits on the weekend.

Actually the better question is why right wing radio is so successful. And the question and answer is: Who spends the most time in their cars (trucks?). Truckers, Bible salesmen, carnival workers, delivery workers, and other unskilled, high school educated laborers.
The other segment of those radio listeners are over 65, retired, white and watching Fox when they aren't listening to Rush.

Liberals use their iPhone to read the WSJ online, and get the latest on the NYT app.

This thread isn't about news sources but rather the utter failure of Lib talk radio.

wow such an uneducated bunch. you would think the loser Left than could stop blaming all the failures of their "brilliant" obama and the failed Progressive agenda on truckers and carnival workers on the Right



or is it we just dont know how good we got it under obama?

yea that's it; record welfare and food stamps is "forward progress"

what an idiot this liberal is

left-wing morons actually think Stewart is real news

Why is Liberal Radio such a flop? Because the vast majority of Americans do not enjoy being harangued, condescended to, and insulted.

becaus3 people see how crazy they are. They cant just play gotcha with words, they have to articulate a position amd they cant do that well.

I dunno. There's plenty of loony cons who don't articulate their POV well but Con radio survives them.

are you sure about that? every obama speech is an insult to the intelligence of the vast majority of Americans

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

C'mon, Boop. There hasta be something real in a POV that gets about 50% of America's candidates elected. Doesn't there?

Beats me. I don't do talk radio, and apparently most liberals don't.

I suspect most Cons don't either.

Occasionally I make a round-trip drive to Pittsburgh from New Jersey, it's a long drive and I really get a HUGE kick out of Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Hannity, et al.

I especially find it fascinating the way all of them start out with a narrative, very forceful, very righteous and segue it right into an advertisement. It's seamless. It's also very unethical. But WTF, most righties who lap up their bullshit don't even notice.

what an idiot you are

you'll get more news out of a half hour of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart than you will 3 hours of Sean Hannity. between ads for whatever identity theft protection they're shilling for, jabbering with the support staff, the 13,000th time a montage of silly things liberals have said is played, introductions, bumper music, and callers thanking them for taking their calls (and then the calls themselves) by the time you throw in regular commercials and news breaks there isn't a lot of real, original content in an hour of talk radio.

You learn more about what's going on by listening to music than you do by listening to liberals anyway

cuz you're too stupid to be able to make your own decisions on what to buy?

if obama sold it to you i bet you'd buy it; he sold you "change" even though he NEVER changed anything for anybody, anywhere, ever

what an idiot you are

you'll get more because you say we will

you're a joke; nothing you say matters

there is no fool bigger than the loser that WANTS to believe the lies

you are a useful idiot though for left-wing millionaires; including entertainers

 

[Pennywise]

The question that should be asked is actually why is right-wing talk popular. It became popular because it was the only outlet discussing current events without the left-wing slant the rest of the media employs.

It became popular because suddenly people of the conservative persuasion were able to hear someone speak who reflected their own sensibilities. The arrogant leftists have it all wrong (as usual) when they vomit their own talking point that right-wingers listen to Rush so they will know what to think. No, they listen because he says what they already are thinking most of the time.

Really? So what does that mean for, um, speeches like this?

"Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people."—Charlottesville, Va., July 4, 2008

Please don't make me say who made that speech. Please.

So that bothers you, but hosts on MS-NBC doing actual commercials for the Democratic Party doesn't, LOL.

Then there was Air America which was funded by the Democratic party. I miss that, it was a hoot. You people are nuts.

Nope liberals will goto mother jones, daily kos, and huffpo. Thats about all i see from them.

But what is really interesting about your post is how you look down upon ordinary americans.
Which ive always said, libtards hate the midle class, because they dont support the lefts socialism andnever have......in fact the left calls the middle class the bourgoisie in a perjorative manner.
Whats funny is the left says they care about these people, they dont, tney use them to ***** about wages and try to increase taxes

this guy is so full of stereotypes and yest if i said a black person is a watermellon eating, chicken loving basketball player he would say that was racist and he would never use stereotypes.
