It comes down to funny, right wing radio is more entertaining. Left wing radio is all tears and anger.

Wow! This is really interesting. I had no idea that the audience for conservative talk radio beat public radio by such a wide margin, even in college towns. That really explains why so many people think Obama isn't a citizen, is a Muslim, etc. Also, why when on the street interviews are conducted people so often literally repeat conservative talking points--it's all they hear! I've lived almost my whole adult life in Manhattan and was clearly out of touch with what the "real" America hears.

There's plenty of liberal talk on the radio: Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann, Tom Joyner just to name a few. In fact, Randi will be on WWRL starting Monday night.

When you compare Rush Limbaugh to NPR it's simply feeding the attitude that NPR is left-wing, not an unbiased news source.

Conservative v National Radio? Is that the new comparison. Sure NPR has moved away from the left but it's its own classification now? No it's mediocre almost CNN-like at best. Blech!
