Liberal Wishful Thinking

Are conservatives really losing their talk radio edge? Knight-Ridder thinks (read hopes) so.

"There are signs that the Republicans could be losing some of their overwhelming edge, however. Ratings for Limbaugh and Hannity slipped this spring in some markets. Liberals such as Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller and Al Franken are carving out their own radio niche. And Democrats argue that they have an edge on the Internet, where explosive growth could dwarf the political impact of radio."

Definitely wishful thinking. First of all, liberal talk radio attracts only a miniscule share of the market and surives only because rich pinkos subsidize them to insulate them against their inability to attract advertisers. And, conservative radio still has not had to steal money from children's charities to meet payroll.
