4. Maybe just not your type of progressive, I don't agree with her on EVERY SINGLE LAST ISSUE either

And, without this station, then the righties will have a 100% monopoly of talk radio in Minnesota. I know some "progressives" don't care, they don't think what people listen to matters or what opinions they are exposed to matters. The reason we get slaughtered at the polls election after election after election since the 1990s -- unless things get so ridiculously awful like the Iraq War situation in the lead-up to the 2006 midterm elections, and the financial catastrophe in the leadup to the 2008 elections -- so ridiculously awful that even your average goober recognizes a need for change -- is because of rightwing talk radio with barely any progressive radio to counter all that.

I really don't care what Janet Robert's views are on abortion rights or whatever it is she is so awfully wrong about. I care what's on the station. To take the full weekday lineup as an example, are Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Thom Harmann, Nancy Nelson, Matt McNeil, Mike Malloy, and Norman Goldman all "half-assed non-progressives"? Or "anything but progressive"?
