It's been years since I've heard left-wing talk radio here in Greater Cincinnati. One's choices in the afternoon are basically Bill Cunningham or Rush Limbaugh.

But you aren't answering the question. With satellite radio as an option these days, there are left-wing talk radio readily available and my guess would be younger people would have satellite radio more than us relics.

So I ask again, are left-wing radio shows hate based too, or is just the right-wing ones?

Let's say we accept the premise that all ​AM/satellite talk radio, left and right, is inherently insulated and poisonous.

 

What does the far greater popularity of right wing radio say then?

 

Not to distract from my point, but I would say satellite radio still has an older audience, because it's paid media. Young people, for a variety of reasons, tend to avoid paying for media.

But its not the same. Air America was vile and caustic. I tried to listen to it when traveling before it died. Some conservative host take themselves too seriously (Hannity) and some turn it in jokes and humor (Limbaugh). Others are in between. But none was like Air America. Air America was hateful and serious and always on the attack - a lot of it very personal and threatening.

AM hate-based radio is a product of the right, not the left, based on demographics. Quick ... name a left-wing equivalent of Hannity or Limbaugh or Ingraham. Time's up. I can't name one either, unless Alan Colmes -- Hannity's old TV partner -- is still broadcasting somewhere out there.

Now, name a right-wing equivalent of Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. Time's up. I can't name one either.

The media are what it are. AM talk radio is a medium for older people, chiefly males. Comedy Central et al. appeal to a younger, more liberal audience. As far as your hypothetical that younger people are tuning in to left-wing radio shows on Sirius ... I don't see that happening. Crunch the numbers below.

I don't agree with everything the POTUS does either, but you are reaching here. Sounds like you are listening to AM radio too much..

 

AM radio, you mean they still have that.

This is a crock of crap ref! What has Obama done for certain people and not others. What things have been done were attached to African Americans?

 

I didnt see where Obama had the DOJ go to white churches and strategize. If that isnt discriminatory, then what is.

 

WASHINGTON (RNS) Attorney General Eric Holder and other legal experts strategized with black religious leaders on Wednesday (May 30) about new restrictive state voting laws that could affect their congregants by reducing early voting and requiring identification

What's playful to you is hateful, personal and threatening to others, and vice versa. Keep that in mind next time you listen to El Rushbo.

Studies show that those laws disproportionately affect black voters, so doesn't it make sense to talk to black voters about that law?

So, God smiting Bible Belt Christians with tornadoes, fantasizing the "angel of the Lord" might use a "terrible, swift sword" to decapitate "teabaggers", saying conservatives are as complicit of the September 11, 2001 terror attack as any one of the 15 who came from Saudi Arabia, claiming the GOP wants you to die because they were against ObamaCare, claiming Michele Bachmann would have gladly rounded up the Jews in Germany and shipped them off to death camps, saying Dick Cheney must have feasted on a Jewish baby, or a Muslim baby and must have sent his people out to get one and bring it back so he could drink its blood, saying Michele Bachmann should slit her wrist or better yet move the knife up about two feet, start right at the collarbone, claiming Republicans orchestrated the Christmas jet bombing (talking about al-Qaeda’s attempted Christmas Day bombing of a passenger jet), calling Clarence Thomas a “House Negro”, saying Bill O’Reilly inspires people to go kill doctors who provide private abortion services, and trust me there are more, but these don't fit your description of hate based? Gotcha. Yeah, you're right, AM hate-based radio is a product of the right, not the left... :ohbrother:

Funny, you you say he questions race more frequently than you think it needs to be, but there is no argument there.I'm not looking for an argument, I just pointed out the obvious.

 

Just curious, so a white person draws a race correlation, and it is implied he is a racist. I could live with that, if that rule of thumb is applied equally across the board without hypocrisy.

Really? Black voters and Hispanic voters are some how being discriminated against by having to show ID to prove that they can legally vote, but I have to show ID every time I vote?

BTW, from the first day, I have had the gut feeling that this is the act of a crazy. The bombs were small, closely placed, and there have been no coincident activities or proclamations. Could be an angry white man, a "lone wolf" muslim extremist, one of the blue man group or a radical women's libber, or launched from a North Korean missile...it really doesn't matter right now. It believe it will boil down, just like the mass shootings, as a mental health issue. One person's assault rifle is another person's bomb. It took a long time to catch the unabomber.

lol..You are funny

You need to study up on scientific polling. You don't personally need to be polled for the results to be valid.

You may be asked but you don't have to show an ID to vote in KY.
