>Left talk show radio does not exists in the USA. There is NPR that I listen to. It is a left-wing but it is not a talk show.
There. I knew we have very different definitions of left and right. On the scale from -10 (extreme left) and +10 (extreme right), NPR is at around 8. Which is very left, considering that, from what I used to hear on various issues from various media while I was there, most of them are between 11 and 12.
Mind you, my wife was listening to NPR for years, and my desk was just at the other end of the big room, so I heard it whenever I could (gather enough cash to) pay attention to it. Well, to each his own.
>As to why left-wing talk shows do not exists, my opinion is as follows. The only way a commercial enterprise like a radio would exist in the free market economy,
Was it ever free? And, besides, six big guys own 98% of the market. What do you do then?
>is when people with the disposable income will listen to. So that the producers can sell the air time to advertisers. But for whatever reasons, the liberals would not listen to other liberals expressing their opinion :)
Or, for that matter, any leftist wouldn't listen to anything that's paid by advertising. The content is biased toward attracting the ads, not towards quality or listeners' needs. And mind you, NPR also has ads, it's just that they aren't shouting.
