Why don't any of the wealthy Progressives

buy some radio stations?  Here in Los Angeles, we lost Stephanie Miller and others (including Randi Rhodes) several years ago. It was 1150 on the a.m. dial and now it's called "Patriot Radio" with the worse of the right (Limbaugh, Hannit). We also lost a really good rock station called The Sound (100.3 f.m.) to some Christian outfit. Does anyone have any input or ideas on why someone like a Tom Steyer - (the guy who buys ads on MSNBC in support of impeaching dt) doesn't buy some stations? Also, is there a link that someone could post regarding exactly how we lost The Fairness Doctrine? I have a friend who blames Clinton (and she's a Dem.), and I don't know enough about what happened to say it wasn't Clinton....Thanks to anyone who can give me some feedback..

Third, the wealthy got wealthy by not being stupid.

They may be crazy...but not stupid.

Liberals are like Slinkys.  Basically useless, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...

These same rich progressives that won't buy radios stations for the serfdom within the movement will be the same rich progressives that won't agree to be taxed at 90%. The primitives still can't put 1 and 1 together.

See the countless examples of giant failure.  Air America especially.

If they find a way to reach a niche market, more power to them.

Because they want to make more $$ not lose what they have. If there was a market for propaganda they would fill it.

There is a market for lefty propaganda already, but the 'mainstream' media already occupies that niche. :whistling:

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Great idea, "Upthevibe"! You could call it, "Air America".

Whether Err America or its various left-over ProgTalk shows, Libs and Progs talk big about wanting them but aren't around when it comes to listening.

Exactly!! NPR already fits their description, although they complain even then that corporate sponsorship taints their objectivity.  :mental:
