(9,090 posts)what you are saying does not explain why 95% of talk radio is so false and irrational.
it's a propaganda monopoly and they know they have to exclude liberal talk to be able to lie all day and sell it - it has to go unchallenged
it's mom and pop vs wall mart - wall mart wins because it big
liberal radio has regularly beaten the main rw blowhards in heads up competition - which is why the right has to protect its monopoly
clear channel is 20 $BIL in debt, but they maintain the rw radio monopoly because its worth trillions in war, deregulation, global warming denial, etc
the factors you're talking about might explain a 75 - 25 % ratio, but that would destroy rw radio because it couldn't handle the truth and competition. but 95 - 5% suggests americans all over the country with no other free easy alternatives for politics and current events while driving and working etc are total fucking teabagger nutjobs who like being lied to and made into fools..
