Does anybody ever stop to think that, a key reason that talk radio leans conservative because people are listening to them, and they have higher ratings than the Air America type liberal talk radio??????

Whenever conservatives complain about trash or explicit content on cable TV, they are told that, #1, these shows get good ratings, it’s what the public wants to see, and that’s why those shows are on TV, and #2, if you don’t like it, turn off the TV and change the channel.

Well, why doesn’t the same logic apply to talk radio? If people want to listen to Rush Limbaugh, and he has high arbitron ratings, isn’t that just like the trashy reality shows that get ratings on cable TV? And, shouldn’t these good liberals simply change their radio dial to some other programming if they don’t like it??????
