Liberals created conservative talk radio

Here is how I got to this discovery.

Liberals had a total monopoly on television news programming and news reporting. This became apparent in the early 70’s when liberals demanded and received the fairness doctrine. The fairness doctrine was a simple move to stop conservatives and republicans from having even one show on television or the radio. Here is how it was designed. Any political show had to have equal time. If a liberal position is espoused then equal time must be given to the opposing view. Here is how it worked. The moderator would praise the liberal view and give it as much credibility and leeway as possible. When the conservative or republican view is then left up to the conservative or republican set the stage and then explain his point of view and why it is important for the welfare of the nation. Usually by the time the person has set the stage and is half way through the explanation he has used up all the time that the liberal had used because the moderator used the station time to set the stage and explain why it was important to the nation. This is what liberals called fair.

Once the fairness doctrine became law they petitioned the government to subsidize a national radio network called National Public Radio or NPR.  The charter of NPR was to espouse the alternative view of the majority. That view was the liberal view. It was being “fair” because the republicans won the presidential election and therefore the majority of the nation must think republican. So the liberals lied or misrepresented the truth. Their point of view was simply put. There was no liberal or as they put it alternative view in the media and the government should put forth the other side so Americans can have both sides of the liberal view.

At the same time congress forbade AM radio from going stereo. Only FM could use this new thing called stereo, and NPR was only on FM stations. So the most thoughtful and intelligent shows were on NPR. By 1979 President Carter had so devastated the nation that a little known DJ on AM radio was allowed to put forth his views. It caught on and this guy is the most popular radio show in the nation with 25 million listeners a week. This was laughed at when he began in but soon he had 600 stations nation wide and even conservatives listened to him even though he was on AM instead of the more intelligent FM station. Rush Limbaugh was the only one that did conservative radio nation wide and he was the sole competition to all three major television news and programs, plus each college radio station in the nation and NPR.

Now there is Rush in the morning and noon, Sean Hannity in the after noon, and Michael Savage in the evening. There are others that try but those three are the big ones. Along with that you have Fox news channel. Now for the last 90 months in a row Fox news has been the number one cable news station and all it has is 2 million viewers. It beats CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNBC in all major time slots.

Because of this the liberals want to bring back the fairness doctrine because there is no liberal view for to hear or see. Three conservative radio shows equaling 9 hours of programming a day. Against all the radio stations in the nation pushing the “alternative view”

6 major networks putting out 24/7 news information, and programming against little old Fox news channel.

What the liberals are saying is that even though they spout hate and discontent no one is listening to them.

The news papers are on deaths door because they refuse to even consider offering both points of view and allowing you to make the choice as to who is right or wrong. The big 6 are on the same path and it is not that they are putting out junk no one wants to hear or see, it is because evil conservatives have a monopoly on what we all see and hear, just because Fox does not spin the news. They tell both sides and let you the viewer choose who is right or wrong. Hannity and Combs follows the fairness doctrine the way it was designed. Combs have the exact amount of air time as Hannity. Yet it is seen as a conservative television show.

Liberalism created conservative talk radio because people are tired of being told how stupid they are. If Rush was as much of a jerk as the liberals say then people would not listen to him and he would go out of business.

Air thought that they would do what Mr. Limbaugh did and they would make millions just like Rush. What they did was act as they claimed Mr. Limbaugh acted in their eyes. They were hateful, vindictive, ham handed, and they preached hate 24/7. They could not get sponsors because no company wanted to support such vile hate speech. The net result is that Rush Limbaugh is worth 100 million dollars a year and Air has been bankrupt for all except the first two months of operation.

In the liberal mindset it was not that the content of Air sucked and depressed all that listened to it. It was the evil conservatives that somehow fixed it so Air failed.

Over half of Mr. Limbaugh’s listeners are democrats and some are liberal democrats. He says thing that make you think and he stays true to his conservative beliefs. Air on the other hand could not get enough liberal or even democrats to listen to the hate shows and buy the few products advertised. The show was bankrolled by very rich and powerful people that would not advertise the products that made them rich and powerful on Air . E-surance was founded by a liberal democrat yet he advertises on Rush Limbaugh’s show. Half the products advertised on Rush’s show are companies that are owned by liberal democrats. They continue to make him rich while he makes them rich. They are smart enough not to advertise with a loser like Air . Even though they donated millions to Air they would not risk their business with Air .

The point is that liberals run most media outlets their ideology is not welcome by the majority of the nation.

So when you hear about the fairness doctrine understand what they are saying is that even though they control all but one news organization and all but 12 radio shows they are losing viewers, readers, and listeners in huge proportions. They can’t compete in the arena of ideas so they have to legislate fairness so that they can hopefully gain back what they have lost.

I think Glenn Beck is number 3 (he is a libertarian) along with Niel Bortz (libertarian). They compete in the 9-noon (EST) time frame.

But you are right. Liberals abused their monopoly for many years. So people found another way to get their news and commentary without being told they are stupid uncaring nazis. Air America died for the very reasons you state. No one wants to listen to 3rd rate comics being depressing and negative all the time.

Both Mr. Bortz and Mr. Beck, (if that is his real name) will freely state that they are conservative. What the liberals fail to notice is that conservatism is not a libertarian, democrat or republican thing. Until the democrats started their last purge there were conservatives on both sides, now their “big tent” only includes liberals and far left liberals, and extremely far left liberals. Case on point is Senator Lieberman, he is a conservative democrat. I think he was the last one left in the party. He was loved and even was given a shot at vice-president, as soon as he disagreed on one point they kicked him out. But you have to understand that they are the party of inclusion while the republicans are the party of exclusion. At least in their feeble minds. It is to the point that the liberals are being painted with the same brush of hate as the conservatives because they are not far enough to the left.

Yes, they failed for that and their economic policies. They ran Air America just like they want to run the federal government. They spent money they did not have and when it was gone they demanded more. They paid high salaries to the on air talent, and screwed the worker. The on air talent was paid about 18 million a year for them to spew their hate. Yet they failed to provide health care to the workers in order to save money. This from a company that made a million dollars in revenue for their entire existence, so they paid 36 million dollars but only collected 1 million dollars, and these people want to tell us how to run a business. They held fundraisers for causes and kept the money to pay their bills the typical liberal bait and switch.

It is proof positive that liberalism does not work. Their intentions were petty, immature, vengeful, and hateful. Their way of going about reaching the people was fascist in that they demanded we all listen to them and give them our money to support their hate because they knew what is best for us. And when it failed they blamed the listeners and the republicans for not giving them what they wanted. Sort of how they still maintain that Soviet Communism would have worked if America did not interfere, ignoring the fact that they were corrupt, and did not know how to run a country, and the first chance the people had to dump communism they did. If people would only see that freedom is not worth being free communism would work.

That is why I like them. Hannity is straight republican, as is Limbaugh (although he does criticize the more liberal members of the party harder than Hannity does). But Beck (if that is his real name ;) ) and Bortz are total conservatives and bash anyone who is not equally.

I was not aware of that. They should be prosecuted for that. It would not surprise me given the other shenanigans that are more common knowledge.

As part of the scheme, $875,000 in taxpayer funds were diverted from a Bronx- based youth organization, which were then used to cover the liberal talk radio network's early operations.

- 1st Degree Theft
- Fraudulent Use of Credit Card
- Forgery
- 2nd Degree Theft
- Money Laundering

I thought that was just the "Loan-gate". I did not realize it was fundraising money that was diverted.
