Because they're not as gullible?
No, they actually tried several times to launch liberal radio networks. They all failed quickly and here's why:
The reason why Conservative radio works is because of the audience. These are ALL call in shows.
Apparently Liberals don't have an audience who wants to be engaged or challenged. It is a statistical fact that average conservatives are much more aware of news and issues daily than the average Lib, who gets their news and and how to feel about it (emotions!) from comedians. Ridicule and name-calling doesn't work as well on a talk show where people can all in, and since they can't defend liberal views with reason or logic anyway, they don't open up the phone lines because conservatives would expose the liberal folly CONSTANTLY if allowed to call in.
....and we can't have
that? They were just regurgitating the same propoganda talking points they are already spewing on the MSM which can be broadcast unchallenged, so why risk their lies being exposed by public scrutiny? Only thinking people listen to talk radio. No thinking person wants to listen to liberal drivel so those networks lose money until they go broke and shut down.
CNN would be out of business if it weren't contracts with foreign networks and airports. And they are only the second worst fake news outlet (after BSNBC)
And I find Bill Mahr to be one of the extremely few on the left who even tries to be fair with truth and logic.
